RE: [ST] Engine buzz

Be sure to check all of you engine mounts, foot pegs and handlebars and
triple clamps for loose bolts or cracks.  Loose stuff often adds to
vibration by allowing movement and resonance.

>>OK, I'll chime in here.  Dave, seems to me that you are still down to a
balance shaft issue (unlikely) or a throttle body sync (more likely).  I can
tell you from experience that a proper sync is like getting a whole new
engine.  It's easy to do with the right tools, and real easy for a shop to
do, since they have the right tools, no more than 1 hour shop time, IMHO.<<

Sounds like a plan!

>>Oh, and I completely agree with Colt, concerning the smoothness of the
Triumph triple.<<

I think I agree.  If you recall, I took a road-trip down to St. Augustine
from north Georgia over Thanksgiving last year.  I don't remember any
buzz-related numbness.  There were lots of other aches and pains after the
ride, but not this.

I'll let everyone know how it goes.
