Vibrations
I many threads all kind of vibrations is the issue. There might be a lot of reasons
behind but in my case it was a dry bushing. I have a SGS 2015 and from the day one I had bad vibrations - like Sportsters before rubbermounts. Finaly after
12 months we found the reason. The front engine stabilzer bar bushigs were
dry and were not able to work accordingly. Couple drops of oil and the bike was
smooth as silk! So next time you get extra vibrations check the stabilizerbar
bushings.

Your ref the stabilizer bar thats attached to the frame on 1 end & the other 2nd end is attached to a bracket (over front valve/rocker cover) thats mounted on the front cyl close to ex port,correct?

Vibrations - front engine stabilizer bar
Yes, that's correct. I have heard that some call that stabilzer bar "dogbone"
which remains the shape. In each end there is a eye with a bushing. They
must be oiled to be able to move and stabilize vibrations. In my case the difference was night and day Wien dry or oiled.

Thanks for the clarifying that & letting us know your experience with it.
Anything we can do to reduce engine vibration & or noise from vibration so easilyby simply using a little bit of lube/oil is a good thing for sure.
So after reading your post i am going to include lubing the dogbone/stabilizer joint as reg maint item since you got such a positive result post doing it.
Thanks again.
