Today when I'm driving the highway I notice at times when I'm at approximatley 70 to 77MPH (113KM to 122KM) the bike would be driving very well and at times the handle bars and foot pegs would start to vibrate even the engine sounds a little different. It's not tires, balance etc. To me it almost seems like the clutch is trying to kick in. This will happen with or without the cruise control on. It's not continuosly happening. It may last for about 15 seconds and go away for a short time and then return again. My foot is not touching the brake when this is happening.

Bad gas? Not you the bike.

Vibration

Sounds like the belt issue that vibrating at 5200-5500 RPM when accelerating.

I know lots or RT's that have this issue.

The only real fix I am aware is adding the tentoiner to your belt.

You do not need to ask your question in multiple forums. It gets you better answers to post just once.
