The vibration really comes in at about 45mph in 5th, 35mph in 4th....I'm guessing around 3000 to 3500 rpm. I suppose this is normal. Don't remember my Honda 200 being quite that buzzy. The engine sounds OK. I can hear the valve tappit tick....don't think the valves are adjusted too tight but will check them later after a few miles. I thought this bike would be less "buzzy" with the counter-balanced engine. Does this seem normal for a Storm?  |
Make sure the motor mount bolts are good and tight. Loose motor mount bolts really make whatever vibration there is much worse.
