Vibration over 105

[Dustin]

I've had head bearings done on several of my bikes and I've never heard a quote for 4 hours before

Get a quote elsewhere. All Balls Racing is a popular supplier for tapered roller bearings. I had the All Balls tapered bearings on the 919 but my run in with a hard object put a notch in them. I replaced them with OEM Honda this time around

After today, I can vouch that mine has no vibration up to 122 on the GPS. Closed course.... that was the case.

How about at 135?

I am experiencing a vibration anytime i take my bike over 105. I really thought it was the rear tire out of balance but i took her back to the shop and its on point. I was wondering if this vibration is normal or anyone else has dealt with it? 2007 FZ1

I fixed this with a Gen II Flux Capacitor.

(someday I might go 91mph)

i hit 157 yesterday and it seemed to go away. its in the 105-130 zone.

Flat spot maybe?

X2 I had a vibration / wobble develop at about 85mph turned out it was a flat spot on a worn back tire. I would have never guessed it would give the front end a shake but it did.

Chain adjustment, alignment?

turned out it was a flat spot on the rear tire. i never realized how much a small flat spot would cause such a disruption.

I don't know if I trust myself to do the work and I think the shop said 4 hours at $85 an hour is what scared me off. I'll look into the tapered roller bearings, do you have a particular brand in mind?

Your bike is relatively new isn't it? To check the play/tension in the steering head bearings should take no longer than one hour. Get a new workshop!
