This question is for those multiple uly owners like myself....

Is it normal to have more vibration on an 08XT as compared to an 06X???

I have 're-torqued the front isolator, front, center and rear tie rods and there is still a noticeable vibration in the foot pegs that makes my feet tingle and go numb after about 30 miles....

The only thing I haven't checked is the rear motor mount... Really don't want to rotate if I don't have to....

Check the primary chain tension. Loose primary chain can cause excess vibration.

I'll look into it, I have no low speed/low rpm jerking tho so I'm doubtful on the chain but I'll check.

You've retorqued the front isolator, did it look OK?

Yeah, it appears fine, no real dry rot or cracks yet....

Did you lubricate any of the heim joints on those mounting arms around the engine?
