Hi all. I just brought my first ever Triumph home. 2007 Tiger. What a sweet ride. Although I'm wondering about a foot peg buzz I'm getting. It zing, zing, zings, in the left foot peg, but can be felt in the right as well, when I'm cruising at a steady speed. No problem accelerating or decelerating, only when I'm trying to maintain a steady speed. First thing I checked was the chain tension. The dealer said close to an inch, which it seems to be fine. I've been riding ,and racing for 36 years so I have an idea what to expect and look for. It may well be a Triumph trait, but it just seems a little strong for that. I think I would have heard about it from someone by now. I'm going to ivestigate the chain farther, looking for a tight spot or something. Any Ideas would be appreciated. Thanks

If you find the source of the vibration please post the answer.

My 05ST developed a vibration through the pegs at 4700km
this has over the past year become more noticeable and can be felt through the entire bike.

The dealer has been down the path of retorque of engine mountings / chain i even replaced the tyres now at 10000km and a further year down the track still have the vibration and still waiting for a responce from Triumph.

Regards
Brian
