Default Vibration

I have a vibration issue in the front end. I don't I can def feel it when in the corners and at a higher speeds. Ideas??? Last year I had new tires put on and they were balanced. so if they were done right, that should not be it. Never had this problem before

Do you mean a buzzing vibration, a hopping type vibration or your bars are wiggling back and forth real fast? Can u be more specific?

probably need to get them tires balanced again. my friend and i both had the same problem on our bikes. brand new tires on ours too. just take it back to the place u got ur tires they probably did a bad job.

You need to provide more info for some real help with this. I would check your chain adjustment/slack, tire pressure, rock your front forks with the brake on and listen for a clunk, put your bike up on a stand and try to move your rear wheel side to side to see if you wheel internals are f'd up. Worn tires cause more issues than you might think and also a worn drive train (chain/sprockets)

Buzzing is a different issue and could be your cam chain tensioner lifter.

Not the CCT, but it is annoying. It more of a hard vibration on the handle bars which I can alsmost hear. Really scary going hard into a lean at a good speed

make sure your weights are still on the tire.....sometimes the stick on ones will come off. Thats why a lot of racers put tape over them.

Could be excessive Wheel Bearing Play, Wheel hub, or the swingarm pivot bearing is worn. Good luck!

although ive never experienced it myself, people have complained about missing or loose bar ends...other than that, id vote towards getting your front rebalanced...
