Hi, guys, nice 4m here. I just got a used 02. This is my first cruiser (I've been riding sportsbikes and decided to cool just a bit).
I noticed very excessive (at least I think it is excessive) vibration right away, since I don't have any comparison with other cruisers, I don't know if this is normal or if this indicates that something is wrong with the bike.
To put it in perspective: even at idle 900~1000 RPM, if I get off the bike and look at it from the side, I can see the handle bars as well as rear fender vibrate (move up and down ~0.5 inch range). When I ride it and open the throttle for more than 1/3, I feel vibration through my hands feet and right between my legs [:I], it's very uncomfortable. Once I reach the speed I want and keep the throttle low, it is acceptble.
I have had V-twin sportsbikes before which did have more vibration then 4-bangers but nothing like this.
What could be wrong with the bike to produce excessive vibration? Thanks.
