New Bigdog owner

[Parikh]

Kia ora from New Zealand. Recently bought a 04 Bd chopper two things, nutrel is tricky to find? Any tricks ideas? Tyranny seems fine. And vibration coming from foot controls up I to arms? Shit is that normal for these bikes or should I be checking engine mounts? Any feedback would be awesome kia ora BD whanau.

Welcome aboard from Tennessee, Kia. Congrats on the new Dog, neutral can be tricky sometimes but a good clutch adjustment should straighten that out. Some vibration is normal at idle but should smooth out quiet a bit as you pick up some speed, I would definitely go over the whole bike and check all the bolts for proper torque.

Howdy, and welcome from Missouri.
Try adjusting the clutch, but If your clutch disk are worn, you won't be able to adjust it, to the point to find neutral.

Thanks. Appreciate your help.

the upper mount is usually the one you have to watch out for working its way loose. take it out, clean the threads (both male and female) then put a few dabs of thread locker, and torque to spec.

Welcome from Kansas. If your hands are vibing too much, check the handlebar bushings as well. They may be worn out?
