: VIBRATION, Need some help, its annoying as hell
Gixxeritis 09-26-2003, 12:45 PM Ok, I have a vibration/buzz that I can feel at my pegs a little and through my clipons at high RPMs. It does not get worse as I go faster, only when the engine speed is higher. Ive taken it to high RPMs while in neutral and I can still feel it. Its not really bad but enough for me to be annoyed by it. I know the previous owner was using synthetic and I switched back to normal oil when I got it and I just put a new clutch in but it was doing it before I changed it and I was hoping that a bad clutch was the culprit. A buddy told me to check my engine mounts, I will do that today but I was looking for any other suggestions. I tried a search but I didnt find what I was looking for. Thanks http://www.gixxer.com/forums/images/graemlins/thumb.gif
20blks 09-26-2003, 03:16 PM I had the same problem on my 00 750. It turned out to be the clutch basket. I'm assuming that you checked that when you changed the clutch. Maybe it's the motor mounts. I wouldn't ride it too hard until you find out what it is.
Gixxeritis 09-26-2003, 07:00 PM what exactly was wrong with your clutch basket? just curious. and I didnt notice anything but if I cant figure out wtf it is, I might need to take it apart again. http://www.gixxer.com/forums/images/graemlins/cry.gif

A big chunk was missing from my clutch basket. I also had 2 damaged clutch plates. When the mech. replaced the clutch plates and the basket, I rode the bike and the clutch was slipping. Come to find out the steel plate (not the friction plate) was damaged also. Another 80 bucks for that but now it's fine. I have been told by many people that 00 750's are notorious for this problem. Just like the second gear thing.
Gixxeritis 09-28-2003, 11:18 PM does anybody else have any suggestions on my problem? with all the ppl that come on this board someone out there has to have dealt with a similar problem http://www.gixxer.com/forums/images/graemlins/dunno.gif
NastyC4 09-29-2003, 03:07 AM i have a brand new 03 6, Mine vibrated quite a bit when new. Now i got about 1200km on it and its lessened, but i think maybe im noticing the same thing. When i rev it at 8 or so thousand and beyond i feel a vibration through the tank and into the bike. I figured it was normal though. I may be noticing something else entirely but the vibes i get dont bother me... it really smoothes up around 10k rpm.... i cant say for beyond that cuz im still breaking it in http://www.gixxer.com/forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif

No, Im feeling my vibrations through the pegs and a little from the clipons. Its actually more of a buzz. Im gonna check the bike thoroughly this weekend.
Joe.G 09-29-2003, 11:33 PM I chased teh sae thing for a while, some bikes vibrate more then others, go though the bike torque everything down, and if it is still there let some one else that has a bike ride it and see if they notice it or take there bike and try it and see if it does teh same thing. If it is take it to the dealer and see what they say.

Gixxeritis 10-04-2003, 12:12 PM Ok, I feel like a squid. I knew my tires were low on pressure but it was low on my priority list because I was doing a clutch change. Neways, then the vibration persisted after the clutch change which pissed me off even more. well I went for a little ride to warm up the bike today and decided to take my trusty tire gage and put air in my tires and VIOLA! vibration gone. I didnt think that was my problem because it didnt increase with speed. But to anyone that has problems like this, check the little stuff first, you might be surprised. thanks for the replies fellas http://www.gixxer.com/forums/images/graemlins/thumb.gif
