Anti Vib Work

[frank3]

Got the Rt all apart and waiting for handle bar to come back from painter. Decided this was a good time to cut/grind clearance for the engine support rod which causes everyone vibration. As you can see in the photos, I don't have much room in my basement garage for this project but it works. Other photo shows the nut that WAS rubbing on the frame.

Mine is fine so far.

I knew that mine had the problem as soon as I brought mine home, and when I saw the vibration thread here it confirmed it in my mind. The hole that the bolt goes through (as I understand it) is elongated, and perhaps due to tolerance differences some (if positioned all the way to the top of the hole) may actually not have interference. Many though seem to have it. My dealership was nice enough to fix this under warranty work for me.

Can we get a pic of where this bolt is?

You are correct, the hole this bolt goes through is sloted. I ground clearance on my bracket and raised the bolt to the top of the slot. Mine was all the way to the bottom and vibrated like crazy. Sounded like a rod knocking under heavy acceleration.
