Rubber mounting engine
04/19/15 at 18:13:32
 
Hello all....been having some great weather up in the Dot, finally been able to take my girl out for a spin. And one thing is for sure.....she vibrates like theres no tomorrow!!

Then I got thinking....why isnt it rubber mounted to the frame? Anyone have any ideas as a way to add some rubber between all the mounts to soften it up abit?

The engine has a counterbalancing shaft......and it doesn't vibrate bad at all for a big single.

If yours does...something is wrong.  As Jog suggested.....loose mounting bolts can allow the bike to vibrate more than normal.

When I got mine, I was actually impressed how little it actually did vibrate. You could feel it but no blurry vision or shaking parts.

actually that reminds me.....it vibrates enough that I DO get shaky eyesight at certain rpm ranges, and no, I usually don't cruise over reeving the engine

Compared to my FZ6 or SV650, it's an ass hammer. But it's no worse then other big bore air cooled singles I've owned (GN400, XR400, TS400).
