60 MPH Vibration?
I went for a ride today and noticed I have a very noticeable vibration in the foot pegs at 60 mph. It is only present at 60. The bike feels a little bouncy and seems to sway a little in the curves now. I also noticed that during a slightly hard acceleration the bike seems to shimmy side to side. Has anyone ever had a problem like this and if so what was it? In the morning I will check the motor mounts and such. It just seems strange that it suddenly start today.

Wow, it's funny you should mention this problem, as I too have noticed a sudden vibration as well. It only happens when I am on the throttle. When I get off, the vibration stops. I recently put the true-track on my bike and was thinking that perhaps I didn't tighten the bolts through the motor mount enough. I am going to remove the front True Track, clean up the bolts and put it on again.
