Hey Y’all.
I’m having an issue and I’m not sure where to go with it. I had a good ride with a friend Friday, bike was running well. I’m cruising back about 6 mile from home and all at once I’m getting a significant vibration. Bike still running good. I pulled clutch in and let it idle down while rolling and vibration goes away. So I stopped and checked the oil. Had oil and oil pressure and wasn’t missing or running poorly. So I eased it on home. It was a couple days before I got the opportunity to look at it but when I did I did everything and hit the starter and that big motor turned over 3 times as fast as it ever has on the starter. Usually I have to bump it 2-3 times before it will spin over. So I let it start and the vibration is still there and definitely significant. So I pulled the plugs and they look normal. Did cranking compression check and both cylinders were identical and about 115-120 with the ACRs active. So I thought maybe one could have been stuck open but they are moving like they should. Pulled the rocker box covers and everything in there looks just as it should, rocking and opening and closing. So now I’m just stuck and I’m not certain which way to go from here. If anyone has had an experience like this I would appreciate any advice or insight. Thanks for listening I know it was kinda long winded but I was trying to cover a lot of information.
