RE: [ST] Bad Vibes

["Ken Mitchell" <kp.mitchell@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

First order of business is to determine if the vibration is generated from
the engine itself or the drivetrain. The way tyo do that is to get the bike
up to the speed/RPM where vibration is at it's worst, then pull in the
clutch and close the throttle. If the vibration disappears, it's the  engine
that's the culprit (throttle body syncronization, balance shaft skipped a
tooth, bad spark plug, etc.) If the bike still shakes with clutch in, it's
the drive train (chain, sprockets, cush drive, bearings, etc.)
