I did a quick search, but not sure really what to call it

My engine seems to be sagging forward - front header pipe is actually bangin into the frame rail when its runnin

Now, Its been like this for long while, in fact my front header pipe cracked awhile back - but I misdiagnosed the problem, thinking somehow it was a heat problem (had the bike running VERY lean for a bit - but thats a different problem and solved)

Anyway, I just got done wrapping my pipe this weekend and damned if it aint slapping against the downtube - Are my engine mounts toast? Or is there some adjustment possble to move the motor rearward slightly?

Ive been saving up fro the true track stabilizers, but I understand that this will only limit side to side movement, and fore aft will remain the same

WTF!?!?

 

What kind of bike, what year, how many miles???? Would help a bit....

Might want to check your front isolator.

EXPY did a good write-up about these failing.

+1 front motor mount may be bad

 

Front motor mount....warranty.

 

26,000 nice.you been beating the pavement.i would also say your mount is fubar

 

thanks guys

specially Icecaps for the link

ive got 3 weeks before my warranty is up - better get it in

 

Tell them when they replace the mount to do the engine alignment procedure.

 

update:

Local delaership warranty replaced my front isolator - the thing was toast!! though I suspect it was questionable from the beginning, as this had to be the reason for cracking my pipe in the first place - oh well - lesson leanred

But now, with new bushing - pipe clears frame (gee what a concept) and VERY little peg/ bar vibration.


Thanks all for feedback
