Author Message   Spuh Posted on Sunday, September 17, 2017 - 11:40 pm:        My Uly's been vibrating lately. Now, I know "they all do that", but it used to smooth out above 3000. Not any more. So I replaced the front isolator and sure enough it had a few cracks. But that doesn't seem to have done anything . If anything, she's vibrating even worse. So, what would you guys recommend I check next? 2009 Uly, all stock except EBR ecm. Thanks in advance.   Shoggin Posted on Monday, September 18, 2017 - 12:02 pm:        Thicker underwear? I'll say I'm pretty sensitive to NVH changes and will become 'aware' of things like that on the STT on occasion (usually in the middle of nowhere), but either it's gonna blow apart or it's not... If the heavy spinny stuff have an issue that big, you'll know once the inside parts become outside parts and it won't take long. Other than the new isolator that you put on, there isn't much else to do. Check your header bolts? IMO Just ride it.   Teeps Posted on Monday, September 18, 2017 - 12:03 pm:        Check the "tie bars" for binding. https://cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/1713/7809/produc ts/DSC0957_large.JPG?v=1493471501   Portero72 Posted on Wednesday, September 20, 2017 - 08:09 am:        Muffler straps and header bolts solid?   Spuh Posted on Monday, September 25, 2017 - 12:11 am:        Yep, muffler straps and header.nuts intact and tight. Torqued front isolator bolts and no motion there. Rear isolator looks right : no cracks visible from outside the bike. Any other suggestions?   Natexlh1000 Posted on Monday, September 25, 2017 - 12:21 pm:        Primary chain too floppy?   Spuh Posted on Monday, September 25, 2017 - 11:59 pm:        Natexlh1000, you may win the prize this time!👏👍😁 Except you got it backwards. The primary has a tight spot in it; it was too tight! I imagine I was insufficiently diligent last time I adjusted it, I rotated the engine past that tight spot and adjusted to the next tightest spot. I guess I have to be more careful. I only went for a 12 mile ride after readjusting. Seems smoother but I reserve my judgement until I can do a proper highway ride. Thanks everyone for you leads. (Well, except for you Mr Tight Undies)😜   Spuh Posted on Tuesday, September 26, 2017 - 12:02 am:        Oops! Sorry for the ?profanity? ($&- etc) those were smilies when I typed out this missive. Peace and smilie faces.   Natexlh1000 Posted on Tuesday, September 26, 2017 - 02:01 pm:        Heh. Not floppy enough, eh? Weird.   Spuh Posted on Wednesday, September 27, 2017 - 01:48 am:        A definite maybe. I'll know better when I can go for a longer ride. Won't be home for a couple week so stay tuned.   Rkc00 Posted on Thursday, September 28, 2017 - 03:52 pm:        I had my 2009 engine replaced for that exact reason. They tore the bike apart 3 times installing front and rear isolators. Still had the vibration. The dealer talked them into sending a new engine. No vibrations after that.
