running lean vibration
I had a stage 1 done and the bike vibrates in the floor boards and highway pegs at certian rpms Would a set of xieds richen it up enough to get rid of the vibration?
To make it short will a lean running motor cause vibration?
2008 ultra V&H true dual headers high flow A/C modified oem muflers.
thx

my 2006 flhri had the stage one done on it before i bought it. it shakes real bad at idle.more than most ive seen. other than that,its smooth as silk. i have noticed that when i'm out and about riding and after the bike gets much hotter, the timing retards a bit and the idle is very smooth. have been wondering what i can do about the idle shake. it has the shifter moving up and down pretty bad at idle.

thats exactly right.when you first crank it and for as long as it sits until youre ready to roll, its shakin and bakin. but if i happen to ride into town in the summer like today and stop at a traffic light after a few miles, the idle is smooth as can be. i say idel but i should say the motion of the rubber mounted engine. the idle itself is fine. the engine is just all over the place.
i read that as the fuel injected twin cam motor heats up, the computer retards the timing as needed. i assume this is what is smoothing things out. its not a big deal. just not something that i am used to.
