VIBRATION FIXED !!!!!!

PROBLEM SOLVED

The top engine bolt was not tight. We took the bottom big bolt in the back out...I snugged it down as tight as I felt comfortable with and then when I went to remove the top one, it was far easier than the bottom to remove. I replaced it and snugged it down as tight as I could and guess what...the vibration gone. The bike is back to the way it was when I bought it.

I still plan to do the locktite treatment but time was short today and I was lucky to get help when I did.

Now of course I feel like a total jerk and a complete moron.

I pissed and moaned and groaned and it was just a loose bolt. I was sure they were all tight but I guess I couldnt get them tight enough by myself while reaching over the bike and ratcheting. with me and gene both on it, we got those bolts really snug.

I also posted on the AL site so that there would be complete disclosure on this issue.

I rode the bike 30 miles after tightening the bolts and all is well.

this is humiliating and i really had to push myself to make this post.
