have a 86 fxst softail seems to have more viberation than before. checked all motor mounts and tranny mounts, it seems to be with the engine. when i give it throttle it viberates, clutch in or out seem to be with engine. any ideas??

 

Could be allot of things (just what you want to hear I'm sure). A loose compensator nut, flywheels a little out of true, a worn rod big end bearing, loose primary chain?

 

the primary chain is ok just checked it its right on.

 

How many miles on it?

 

speedo says 26,917

 

speedo say 0nly 26,917 not many mile for a 86. might be different speedo someone else put in

 

was told to check clutch bearings , it does viberate more under stress,

 

My 2008 Street glide has about the same problem. I live in FL and it started on my way back from arkansas. Dealer said its within specs. My front mount was kicked to the left about an inch when the dealer got it. They moved it over and said all was good. Not hardly. I argued with them to no avail. Bike is out of warranty. Going to a garage this week. I hope they can remedy the problem. The dealer also said my FuelPak may be bad and if its out of tune it will vibrate. Tried to sell me SERT.
