Hi all,
Any of you guys have experience with vibrations elimination? My bike is SDR 990 '08 and it suffer quite bad vibrations above 6k rpm. It is not bad when ride on twisty road, coz revs are all over the dial, but highly noticeable and dreadful on long distances on motorways, when engine sits between 6-7k rpm doing 80-85mph or so constantly. After one or two hours I feel exhausted not because of long distance, but because of vibrations.
It is not on handbars only, it is whole bike vibrates. I've been trying to reduce vibration on handlebar using different types of dampers and bar ends. It is a little better, but not much.
I had recently engine rebuilt, new gaskets, valve clearance checked, throttle body balanced, etc. When I mounted engine back in to bike I was looking for some bolts tightening order guidance in repair manual, but couldn't find anything like that. As I know this may be very important to reduce vibrations, but due to lack of info I only tightened all bolts with adequate torque.
What I can do to limit vibrations level? Any suggestion welcome! Would better fuel map help with this?
Anyone here have a SDR '08 and live in West Midlands or Worcestershire and would like to meet, swap the bikes for few motorway miles to compare? I would be highly appreciate if I would know that this is not every single bike problem and it can be sorted...
