Re: [ST] Engine vibration



Don't get me wrong.  I love the way this thing sounds and pulls from 3500
rpm and up.  Just wanted to pass my "fears" on to the list.  I knew you guys
would help me out.  I have now had the bike since this past Saturday and
have a little over 400 miles.

 I really thought I would be able to make it 2 weeks before I put 600 miles
on it.  Oh well, I guess not.  Need to start making my plans for the trip
out to the dealer to get that done since it is a nice 100 mile ride.
