Yep, I got all excited when I read the post from Redfxr2. The exhaust is the one thing that we had not considered, and about 500 miles before this all started, I had put baffles in the mufflers, and wrapped the pipes to reduce some of the heat in these Texas summers. Then my husband reminded me that we have just had a top end done,and the pipes would have been removed and replaced. None of this had any effect on the vibrations.
When all this started, I had just come home from an uneventful 400 mile trip to Fredricksburg, left the bike in the garage all night, and when I pulled out onto the highway the next morning the first thing I noticed as i accelerated to highway speed, was a bad vibration in the left forward peg. The vibration has changed off and on, sometimes worse and sometimes not so bad, but always there. It is a horrible SHUDDER of the entire bike at 1300rpm, but moves right through that rpm and smooths out to ok until about 2400 rpm, when a fine vibration starts, felt primarily in the foot pegs. Before all this started this was the smoothest riding bike around. We also have an 883 sportster, a 03 SERK, and just sold a nice softail heritage. This fxr4 was the pick of the lot for me, and I have been grieving for it. Demons, I am amost sure of it. Anyone know a good exorcist?
I will for sure keep you posted, and thanks for your interest. Any and all ideas are welcome.
