vibration

[Silverlegacy]

Silverlegacy-my bike has the same annoying vibes you describe and I've been through absolutely everything to get rid of them with no luck, so if you manage to fix it please let me know!  I can confirm that (in my bike at least)  its not the exhaust, downpipes, fuel tank, fuel tank mounts, pegs as I've ive replaced all of them with no change!  also done several carb balances.


hope you figure out what it is, but it seems like some fazers are made a little better/smoother than others!

My bikes going back to the garage Friday for another carb strip and clean as i had it done two weeks ago and wasnt entirely happy with how he did them so he said he will do them again for free (guilty conscience)
I am going to him to go over all the internals and check needs and jets and everything this time, worst case if anything needs changing then this may resolve the problem.
Hard to tell how things have worn since 1998 when the bike was new, but its only done 36k so hopefully theres still loads of life left in it.

This is all just my opinion but they all seem to vibrate to some extent at around 5k so I don't think that vibration alone is an indication of there being a problem with the bike. If you've got a drop in performance as well then yeah you've got a separate problem but I think that vibration is just a trait of that model Fazer and that it's due to something in the design of the bike rather than an indication of there being a specific problem with the bike. Cleaning carbs isn't going to get rid of that vibration. I'd say if you put a brand new set of carbs straight from the factory into your bike it'd still vibrate at around 5,000RPM so you'll probably have to live with it (or get a different bike). It doesn't bother me at all I just stay above or below 5k and that's it really problem solved :lol

I really wish i could find another fazer close to me so they could either ride mine or i could ride theres to compare them.
I have heard alot about them being a bit vibey but i thinkmy patch between 5-7k just seems be a bit to much, i am pretty sure the fazer i had about 10 years ago wasnt anything like this and I used to love pushing the engine, where as this one i have now i feel like I have to hold off or try  and stay below 5k.
Maybe its more to do with worn parts than clean carbs.
Hopefully will have more info come weekend/early next week.
