Hello, during my ride, I felt a large and abnormal vibration of the bike.
so awkward that I had huge spikes in my arms and legs.
Something I didn't have before or less.
I have a slight noise at the front of the engine as if the belt has failed.
is that talking to someone? thanks
Check your motor mounts as one of then maybe loose. That will increase vibration a lot if any of them have come lose. One of your tires could be out of balance as well. Give your bike a once over and make sure everything is good.
I don't think it comes from balancing the wheels, not the same feeling.
the vibration would rather come from the mechanical part.
I do not know if the translation will be good but the vibration gives me very unpleasant tingling
I’ve got nothing other than what JV said. I double it’s internal as the bike probably wouldn’t run. Does it vibrate as soon as you start the bike or does it come in later?
I had a lose motor mount and it made my bike feel all out of wack. It felt like it was vibrating so much harder. I’d start there and if it’s not that then I’m not sure. What exhaust do you have? I have found that the free floating exhausts that only mount vis flanges cause more vibration as well.
I’m not trying to discount any of the previous possible mechanical suggestions that have been submitted, but I found the Warrior to be very harsh and vibrational, particularly in the handlebars, until I got the Ivan’s ECU reflash. It was literally like a night and day difference between the two. My two cents.
edit: my experience wasn’t “all of the sudden” vibration. It was always there since purchase until I got the reflash done. Your issue could very well be a mechanical problem.
Do you have aftermarket handlebars? If the bars or risers make direct contact to the top tree bypassing the rubber bushings they'll vibrate like crazy.
hi then the handlebars are not original.
I have the rubber rings, maybe they are worn so we should disassemble this one.
I am attaching a photo to you.
Hey madtom, thanks for bringing that up about the handle bars. When I changed from T bars to mini apes the vibration was pretty high. I ended up putting double rubber bushes on which improved the vibration by 70%. However I do think it is more like a combination engine mounts and not being use to the warrior. Just throwing it out there.
If it did not vibrate as much before and now suddenly it vibrates more but only when the motorcycle is moving forward, then check your front drive-belt pulley from several angles looking for debris or indications of looseness. Also check your front and rear wheels in case balance weights came off (even if you do not think its the cause) and verify axle nuts and air pressure. Check any mods or repairs done immediately prior. Lastly since its not common, check the steering head bearing (see e-manual) in case loose.
Please let us know item for item if you checked and what you found.
ok i will check the pulley, apparently this is a problem that comes up quite often on the warrior.
I will balance the wheels, maybe even change my tires, they are not completely worn but not far away.
I have a lot to control and I will tell you when I find the fault
hi no added anything, finally if I put down my rear wheel to drive a remote license plate holder.
the history of the pulley could stick because I have a noise about at the level of the front pinion.
is this a common problem

salut alors le guidon n'est pas d'origine.
J'ai les anneaux en caoutchouc, peut-être qu'ils sont usés donc nous devrions démonter celui-ci.
Je vous attache une photo.

thank you, very interesting reading. but that kind of thing is impossible for me because I live in France. too complicated to ship the ecu. it's really a shame to live so far away. unless a member knows someone in europe
Hi there Nico , you've got a vibration yes ? Try checking that the front drive belt pulley nut has not come loose. I had the same type of problem years ago and it turned out that when I removed the front drive belt cover the pulley nut looked ok ,but when I knocked the tab on the locking washer back the pulley nut was finger tight . I obviously torqued the nut back up plus a couple of lbs. Everything was ok .A lucky escape.🇬🇧🇺🇸. Frec 🇬🇧
What is normal warrior vibration? When I bought mine I was surprised it has so much shake at idle at a stop light. Reminds me of a Harley, I thought it was normal but now I'm thinking I need to check my motor mounts.
Stock bars sometimes the mirrors shake enough to be useless. It gets worse if aftermarket bars do not play well with the Warrior's vibration isolation (rubbers and cap washer).
Adding Ivan's flash has made my mirrors completely 100% good at any speed even with my TT bars.
My factory mirrors do not vibrate that bad at all it's more a whole motorcycle shake lol. Its honestly probably normal I'm just used to sport bike vtwins. I dont think I have an Ivan's flash at least I didnt see any markings on the ECU but eventually I would like one.
You have to realise Chomoro that each cylinder is the same capacity of an 883 Sportster. That being the case the warrior has to vibrate. If it doesn’t vibrate when your out riding either means you have stopped for a rest or it had broken down. Me personally I like the vibration, because I can feel the power of the beast between my legs ( let’s not go where everyone is thinking ). It’s a case of the old bull ( warrior ) and the young bull ( sport bikes ).
I started my research on vibration.
I checked the toothed pulley and the tightness of the engine supports.
I did not notice anything abnormal.
do you think poor belt tension can create this kind of problem?
I ordered a belt tension tool. I think mine is way too tight. After I recieve it and test i will post up my results on if it cured any of my virbration.
hi guys, news of the vibrations from my bike. I think I found the cause. my front tires are completely deformed and I also have a leaking fork seal. I have an appointment in 10 days to replace all of this. I will keep you informed . have a nice week end
hello guys, little news about the vibration of my bike. I come back from the motorcycle garage, I had the front tires changed which was deformed, replaced the fork seals because of a leak and put the belt back online and check the tension. the vibration is still present and very unpleasant. in my opinion the vibrations come from the bottom of the machine. as she was restrained.
Have u actually removed the bars to inspect the bushings
I switched to Tbars on my first warrior
Vibration was horrible..
The bars were a lil thicker and the was on the Triple Trees
That was the cause of my vibration
A couple rubber rings n solved.

I am with Desertboy here. When I installed the risers on my bars I had to cut some pieces of rubber to help dampen the metal on metal connection of the bars to the triple trees.
Thank you for your answer .
Obviously I'm taking all your suggestions into account, I'm just going step by step, I'm wondering why.
I will take them apart and take pictures for you.
no problem
Its possible you have two troubles. Its smart to take the handlebar riser metal-on-metal issue out of the mix before jumping into things that cost money (as you have already). Your choice though. No need to separate control cables etc. Just pull the headlight bucket to get at the bolt heads and lift up to get a pic before disturbing anything between. Protect the fuel tank. Post the pics and someone will likely be around to help.
Check the e-copy of the service-manual for details of how the anti-vibration assembly should be.
ok i will look from this side.
I absolutely do not question your experience in the subject.
the expense I did was anyway, misshapen tires and leaky fork seals.
I will try to take it apart and take some pictures.
I keep you informed.
have a good day
