I had posted before about an (to me annoying) wiggling of the tach needle at 4-5 K RPM.

I eventually found the problem to be the hard mound screws for the instrument cluster (on the CR under the easily removed bikini fairing).

I tried tightening them- (problem stayed the same)

I tried loosening them a bit - problem went away after a trial end error of which nut got tightened/ loosened which amount.

Now - no issues

My .02 (again)

I put a chuck of rubber under the upper left corner as Sly had suggested in an earlier thread. Worked perfect and a lot easier than tearing the front end apart to get to the console screws.

Some medium to soft grommet style washers ought to help.

I think the XB clusters are rubber washer'ed.

getting in there is easy- remove 2 screws

The screws (bolts) tighten down over a rubber bushing (washer?)

I only tried this after I too suggested the "shim" under the display- which for we did not work.

Cheers

The R is much more difficult to get to the bolts. Also you need to experiment a little with where to locate the shim.
