strange one
this has happened to me more than a few times. ill take my bike out for a ride and theres literally no vibration. i mean its almost like having a electric motor. runs the same, same power and idle. i know im suppose to have a smooth vibration but none, well that strikes me as something being wrong. i know its not the tires, it seems like something to do with the engine. almost like it comes into perfect balance for a while. any thoughts on this. hope this isnt one of those = all is quite before the storm, things.

I don't mean to put down your concerns, but at times I worry cause I can hear every gear and chain clang around in there. Its strange that at times I can hear every little strange noise, and that upsets me, then other times, I know the same sounds are there, I just never hear them. my.02 Maybe its all in my head?

My TC is nothing like as smooth as my Evo or Buell!
My first Harley was a new shovel and that varied a lot the way it ran. It was best in the pouring rain, like a wild thing, when you most needed it to be tame.
Is this just a passing thing, a change of weather, or new oil or something like that? At least get out there and enjoy it, before it changes its mind!
