Bad Vibration at 2,000 rpm

[Big Daddy 72]

Was riding my bike today trying to figure out where this top end chirping sound was coming from. Could not locate it. Finally after riding it for a bit, it just went away. So I though hmmmmm... Don't like that way of fixing things. On my way home it starts vibrating bad around 2,000 rpm. So now I'm gettin concerned. Went over all the motor mount bolts looked for cracks nothing. All tight no cracks. So my son and I are looking over very piece of the bike while it's running I look down at the coil cover and see a lock washer spinning around under the bolt. We shut er down tighten the piss out of the bolt and the vibration goes completely away. I just thought I would share. It's the little things that can kick your butt. I swore I checked very bolt twice and I check them pretty regular. Hope no one else has a vibration problem, but if you do this is what cured mine. Now I just gotta tighten that belt like Mr Wright told me too!! take care bros ride safe!

Had the same thing, rear cylinder coil cover bolt was always coming loose and I would get vibrations. Loctite blue has cured it..

Been there done that, top motor mount

Doug is right, Loctite blue.

I think he meant a vibration "sound" not a real vibration like a lose motor mount.... No washer on the coil cover is going to cause a motor to vibrate.... I had to read it again too....

 

[Mr. Wright]

Yes, when the bolts are loose on the coil cover, you will feel a vibration, and can hear a squeaky chirp. I have run into this on several bikes.

Yes sir the vibration was severe in the handle bars. Tighten the bolts and smooth as silk.

That is strange....

My bars vibrated something terrible when my front mount bolts were loose

I had bad vibrations when I bought my K9 ...the right foot peg would vibrate so much my foot would fall asleep or fall off. It was weird only the right not the left.

I couldn't figure it out I ended up swapping in new spark plugs and it was a whole new ball game!

Hell yeah! Glad it was a simple cheap fix. So many times, that aint the case.

Yes thankfully it was a simple fix.
