Bad Vibrations
 

Hi All. Is It Just Me Or Do The Xt660x Vibrate Big Time. Getting Numb Fingers Vibes Through Pegs, Brand New 2008 Xt660x With 350 Miles On Clock. Please Assist Or Will Have To Sell Bike As Can Not Get On With Vibrations....

Cheers Mark................

aggy00,

1. Tyre pressures - 28-29 front. 30-32 rear dependent upon your weight
2. What tyres do you have fitted - plus get the wheels re-balanced at the dealership
3. I had a 'duff' tyre from new and had a similar situation but managed to get it swapped
4. Get delaership to double check that all nuts & bolts have been tightened to the correct pressures as part of the pdi

Not sure if the above helps, i'm sure other members will chip in and fill in the missing bits to check up on...

Are you a new rider? are you hanging on to the bars a bit too hard? I found that in the begining I was suffering from bad fingers but after I settled in the the bike a bit it stoped, I do get it in my feet a bit if i,ve been on the bike all day. I hope you can get over it they are great bikes.

nice one kev http://www.xt660.com/images/icons/icon14.gif

I fitted my standard pipes back on last weekend 07 XTX, my bike now vibrates quite a bit now over the 60MPH mark or 4000rpm. Having the Carbon cans on does reduce the vibration on my bike heaps. I will try rubber mounting the rear can brackets to see if it help & come back to you.

Being a new bike I would run some spanners over the bike tightening every bolt & nut that you can see, especially the engine & bar mounts.

thanks guys will look into all these things

cheers what style of renthal bars do you have? ie what dimensions, because most shops have told me they wont fit!

thanks mark
