Footpeg vibration question (Read 91 times)

nhgader YaBB Newbies Offline O2BME Posts: 24 Alton, NH Gender:	Footpeg vibration question 08/23/08 at 19:41:59 I ride on a piece of road here in N.H. where people really like you to move. Al from NH should know the stretch on 28 through Alton. Anyhow, when I reach about 70 mph, my right footpeg vibrates in an annoying and ticklish way. It is a new bike so it's not loose or worn or anything. Any remedies? Kim

The bolts that hold the footpegs are also engine mount bolts. Any 'looseness' at all will increase the vibration in the foot pegs. Follow the torque specs to the high side and it will eliminate most of the vibes. Know from experience when messing with my Dyna muffler installation. Thought they were tight!! Where did the vibes come from???

I don't know the answer to your vibration question. I also have a problem between 65 and 70 mph on my 2005. Usually though, by the time I reach that speed, my feet are up on the highway pegs and I can't feel the vibes very much at all. And I know the stretch of rt.28 that you are talking about. I was on it yesterday on my way to and from Wolfbobo.
