pdsw60 Posted October 24, 2005 Share Posted October 24, 2005 I bought a 2002 with 4700 miles on it. It is pretty smooth until about 5200-5300 rpms and the I get a little buzz in the handbars. My old bike (RIP) didn't do this. Any ideas? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
K9XX Posted October 24, 2005 Share Posted October 24, 2005 little buzz in the handbars I personally wouldn't worry over a small buzz. I have ridden about a dozen other Birds besides mine now. All of them have had slight differences here and there. Sounds like something you just have to get used to, unless there are other symptoms :wink: Really, a 100 RPM gap is nothing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pdsw60 Posted October 24, 2005 Author Share Posted October 24, 2005 Maybe i wasn't clear it starts at about 5200 - 5300 rpms. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Iceman_40 Posted October 25, 2005 Share Posted October 25, 2005 Does it get worse as the RPM go up or does it disappear? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pdsw60 Posted October 25, 2005 Author Share Posted October 25, 2005 It doesn't get any worse. I can't really say if it goes away either. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
demon Posted October 25, 2005 Share Posted October 25, 2005 Does it change with speed instead of RPM? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MileHi Posted October 25, 2005 Share Posted October 25, 2005 Maybe i wasn't clear it starts at about 5200 - 5300 rpms. Yeah, and a few more details would be helpful... Kinda like my Ex calin' me up and telling me she got the blue screen of death... I ask her what the error said and she tells me she doesn't know 'cuz she rebooted the PC...

BarryG Posted October 25, 2005 Share Posted October 25, 2005 My right bar got a little buzzy. I found that the bar end was loose. I unscrewed it and then matched everything up in there and re-tightened. It seemed to help a good amount....get little buzz now. I do get some peg buzziness in 5th but the rpms have to be around 7k or higher. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pdsw60 Posted October 26, 2005 Author Share Posted October 26, 2005 It's about the same @ 5200-5300 rpm no matter what gear I'm in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
