Vibration

[kool rider]

On our way home from the dealer last week, I noticed a mild vibration at 72 mph on our new 2014 RT Ltd... felt like it was coming from the front wheels. Backed off to 70 where it was smooth. Back up to 72 and vibration again. Slowed down and back up a couple more times... same vibration. Only 300 miles on it and tire pressure checked okay before going to the dealer. I don't think the dealer did anything while it was in the shop... just had two extra keys cut & programmed. Anyone else have similar problem? If so, how did you fix it?

A dynamic balance will likely cure the problem. Far better than the static balance from the factory. imo

I had my '14 3k mile service done at the dealer last week and that includes checking the belt tension. When I rode the 150 miles home, I immediately noticed the foot peg vibration between 74-80 mph was barely noticeable. I'm thinking the dealer may have adjusted the belt slightly.........

front end on that many miles...gotta be balance, or tires although a laser alignment could help. (if it hasn't been done) To new to be the other culprits. Vibration on the hands/bars will be front end vibration on the feet come from belt/engine....

Did you get the vibration issue resolved? We have a similar vibration in our 2014 RTS.

I understand that several 2014 RT's have had the same problem and that was caused by a batch of bad tires...You might want to check on that....

Bad front tires. One of my friend had the same problem. BRP replace his front tires at no charge.

Had the same problem, BRP replaced the front tires, brake rotor and pads.... problem gone... no vibration.
Took a year of bitching and 2 case numbers.

Most 14 RT Ltd's have Belt vibration in the 70-80 mph range. It is very long belt. A belt stabilizer helps sometimes.

Mine still vibrates a little even with a stabilizer. You get used it and ignore it.

My 13 rt ltd vibrates from 45 and up.

I had the exact same problem. My dealer adjusted the belt during my initial service and that got rid of about 98% of the vibration.
