I have a 2011 FLHX with 32,000km and a vibration from 2500 to 3000rpm. It started around 25,00km. Feel it in the seat, bars and floorboards. Been to the Dealer 3 time and they say they can't feel it but when I looked at the work order on the counter the tech says a vib on decal. I point that out to the service guy. I'm told that they don't know what it is and if I want to go further with it, it's my coin. So much for Factory Warranty.

Mine started right after a rear tire change. 24-2500 rpm range only. All gears all speeds. Took it in and they said it was the 'inner main bearing' in the tranny. They replaced it under ESP but the problem is still there. Got dissed by the dealer when I took it back so I'm dealing with HD Canada and ESP now. ESP will not pay for diagnostic so the part has to fail before it's fixed.

My 12 street glide develops a vibration in the floorboards.only after about 20 to 30 miles though. Its smooth beforehand. Any ideas? Going to take it to dealer but thats most likely going to be a waste. Could it be something in the tune? Im rynning a PV woods 555 cams and complete jackpot exhaust. Checked everything like mounts exhaust so on.what would cause vibes after awhile like this. Seems to run fine
