My 2001 ST is suffering from significant vibrations and I'm pretty stumped as to the cause.
I've got it booked into a triumph dealership in a couple of weeks to do a valve and shim check, balance the throttle bodies and inspect/adjust/replace the cam chain, but I'd really like to know if I'm missing something obvious.
Any help is much appreciated, I know there are plenty of knowledgeable and experienced folk out there.
I've done searches and there's a good thread on the tiger pages, but no conclusions or apparent ways to solve their issues.
The vibes become very noticable from above 4k rpm that can be felt through the bars, pegs and also the frame and tank. They are at a fairly high frequency and it causes numbing / tingling in my hands, feet and posterior if I'm riding for more than 30 mins.
It's not speed or gear dependant and if I'm at revs and pull the clutch in they are still present (albeit a bit less) until the revs decline and they clear. There is no effect on performance.
Recently I've got new tyres, changed the coolant, brake fluid, air filter and spark plugs, but don't think any of these are the cause.
The sprockets and chain are in good condition, lubed well and at the correct tension.
Thanks for any of your inputs - if you want any more info, just ask.
