my bike slightly starts vibrating at around 5k rpm. it would probley start getting worse. also my mirrors start vibrating. so it becomes blurry. is this normal for all f4i. by the way i have a D&D is can that be why?

 

I get that as well. Vibrates the old boys resting on the seat a little bit. Hasn't really bothered me enough to do something about it (or try to) but i'd be curious as to what this could be.

 

so your mirrors vibrate aswell?

 

Mine do - but they aren't tightened down as much as they should be so I contribute most of it to that. They vibrate over a fairly wide range of RPM's hah, but around 5k rpm there is a more noticeable vibration in the bike (seat).

 

its a motorcycle... it gonna vibrate lol as for it being because of the D&D prolly not... bikes just naturally vibrate alot... thats why some guys complain about their hands going numb...

nature of the beast..

 

Yeah - thats what i've chalked it up to. So I usually just give it more throttle

 

My post copied from another vibration thread.....

While all sportbikes vibrate to some degree there are plenty of steps you can take to minimize this...

1. Get nice grips. Not the flashy "CBR" chrome grips but some nice cushy ones. Stock grips are crap.
2. Make sure your bar ends are tightened. Most of the purpose of weighted bar ends is to minimize vibes.
3. WEAR GLOVES (nice ones)- this should be a given, unless your a dim-wit squid
4. Loosen your grip, you don't realize until your hand goes numb but just relaxing your palm while cruising helps ALOT.

 

thanks guys
