Over 75mph vibration
Yes, I know this has been mentioned many times but I can only find it in reference to older models.
I have a brand new 2017 750 Street, has anyone discovered the source or remedy for the vibration? I've had it up to 90 (
)(after putting a few hundred miles on it) and the vibration is at least consistent from 75mph-90mph
Yes, 90 is as fast as I've gone on any bike. Only did it for a moment to put good distance between me and an a$$hole driver.

I hit 120mph this AM on my Street-Rod on my way into work, I've been Much Much faster on my Japanese Super Standard bikes (FZ1,Bandit 1200, B-King and current Connie 14). 90MPH is not fast...
It's how these motors are. Couple remedies.
A) don't go 90mph :lol: but where is the fun in that? Truthfully my XG-A does get buzzy at sustained highway travel as well. I just deal. The motor isn't stellar, Good but not stellar. I personally don't mind the buzz and I think compared to the other HD models the motor is pretty decently balanced. So keep the spped down and plan more time in.
B) Gear it down by throwing a larger rear tire on (larger in width and aspect ratio). Might help with the high speed buzz by dropping the RPM down a bit. Aftermarket support on these bikes is pretty poor which makes me want to pull out of the game. If I could I would swap to chain and sprockets and find a gearing that works better for my style of riding. I went the other way and put a tiny tire on the rear just to get better acceleration and wheelies.
Where are you feeling the Buzz? They have been making products for the Japanaese market for years, bar end weights and weighted snakes to dampen the vibration felt in the handle bars. I can post links if interested.
Hope it's somewhat helpful.
Best,

Can't say I've noticed much vibration at speeds. I've had it at 100+ and while the wind gets a little fierce at those speeds, it's not vibrating much. I must've just got really lucky with my Rod.
As far as aftermarket support - Patience, grasshopper...

AKC I'm comparing my XG750A to my ZG1400. Apples to really big Fing apples. The XG-A is smoother than my old 81 GS750L but that was my first bike and at $500 the fact I got 70K miles on it was good nuff... Compared to any of my I-4's the XG has a vibration at higher speed but it's no way bad. I still do 500 mile days with it and don't think twice... It's a phenomenal little bike!
