vibes

mikaserla · 07-30-2008, 01:13 PM

I seem to have vibes from the range of 3000 rpms to 5500 rpms. Higher than that they seem to go away. Which is good because I usually cruise at 6500rpms.

Does anyone else have vibes in this range.

I have a gy200-2. Do you think a gy5 with a counter balanced engine make the vibes go away. Does the counter balancing make zero vibes.

The two back engine bolts are likely the culprit. You may have to go the Gorilla Glue route to reduce the vibes, I did.

I did replace the two back bolts because they broke. It doesn't vibe at above 5500 rpms so most of the time It's pretty smooth.

I have heard on this site that those with the counterbalance engines also receive some vibes so I don't know how much of a difference it would make by having this feature.

yes it does. there is very little vibration on the gy5 I have tried a gy 2 type and the balanced engine makes a world of difference in the two bikes.
