Guys and Gals:

Maybe it is just me,but lately I have noticed the footpegs buzz a little more than I remember.The bike was done for about 2 weeks while I did the 12000 mile valves,coolant change,LOF,and throttle body syncing.I did the work myself to save money,and because I thought I could do it right IF I took my time.

Valve adjust went well.
Coolant,and oil,piece of cake.
Syncing well...It was a pain in the butt.After buying a used idle step motor and more mercury for the Motion Pro gauge set(don't ask).I got them very close according the the colums(within 1/8" inch or so.

I figured I had it licked,but after 75 miles or so I can feel my feet numbing.My previous bike was a 01 Connie,a buzzy bike to begin with.

1.Maybe I am overreacting?
2.Perhaps the mercury sticks are not accurate to use on a triple?
3.I set the valves on the loose end of the scale perhaps this is causing it?

Any thoughts would be helpful.

Thanks
Perry :-D

I don't know for sure if this will help but, when mine starts buzzing I tighten my chain and it seems to get ride of the buzzing in the pegs.
