vibration

The turbulence on this bike is pretty severe over 90 mph. That's what gets me.

To the high speed vibration sufferers: The most likey cause is front wheel imbalance. Check to see if your wheel has thrown it's balance weight. If there is none, take the bike to a dealer and get the front wheel balanced.

Here's another test: If you get a severe front end shudder when you apply the front brakes really hard from very high speeds, you will know that the front wheel is definately out of balance. Fix it and you'll be a happy camper!
