Footpeg vibration
12/01/05 at 11:06:20

I've noticed something on a number of occasions that seems rather odd to me. When running at high speeds, the right side of my bike seems to vibrate much more than the left. It's not too bad in the handlebars, but the right footpeg is a killer. I can feel the vibration on the lieft side peg, sure. But it's nothing like on the right side of the bike. Is this is at all normal for a Savage? Is there any way to cure this? Am I just nuts and imagining things again?

Life is not a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely, in one pretty and well preserved piece, but to skid in broadside, used-up, worn out, and defiantly shouting 'Geronimo!!!'

Mine used to do the same thing and one day while messing around with my muffler I noticed the bolts holding the header on were pretty loose. After I tightened them down the problem stopped... worth looking into.

That's is normal; you can either slow down to 60 mph or go up to 70mph then the vibration will go away (quite a bit ???)

Pretty much the same replies as here. A possible solution (other than changing speed) that was discussed is to use heavier foot pegs.

But I can't help but wonder...does anyone actually know why the right side vibrates more than the left? I admit, it's got me baffled. Thanks for the help!
