    Hi guys, hoping someone might have an insight to this, great up to 140mph then get a vibration through the front end but seems to push through it from 150mph on, a bit lost as to what it could be???


    any help appreciated

    cheers Daz

    Wheel balance would be no 1 suspect to me if you can rider through it.

    Can't say myself it could even be your leathers having an affect .
    At 150 plus it's all a blur to me so you are doing well to notice :D

    Plus 1 on wheel balance as being perhaps first place to look.

    Uneven tread wear, Blocking due to running tyres below recommended pressure or hard braking.

    Clearly the engine revs have matched your hoop's resonant frequency! ;)

    Could be many things but my first thought as suggested is wheel balance. I had wets put on at my last TD at Silverstone. I had no issues up to 100. but between 115-140 it was shaking it's ass off. Got the wheels re balanced after to find out the rear was 25grams one side and 50grams out the other. Not happy as it made for a fun TD at a very wet Silverstone.

    Mine does the same.
    Balance and pressure bang on .. and its only done it since fitting a 55 profile rear ..

    Will get the balance checked by another firm to make sure however ..

    Bearings, tyres, wheel balance would have all been evident way below 150. Suggest you check all engine mounting bolts and handlebar end weights are stock Honda not some flimsy ally that cant absorb high speed resonating
