• There were many reasons for the change of the site software, the biggest was security. The age of the old software also meant no server updates for certain programs. There are many benefits to the new software, one of the biggest is the mobile functionality. Ill fix up some stuff in the coming days, we'll also try to get some of the old addons back or the data imported back into the site like the garage. To create a thread or to reply with a post is basically the same as it was in the prior software. The default style of the site is light colored, but i temporarily added a darker colored style, to change you can find a link at the bottom of the site.

lower speed vibration

Just wondering if anyone might shed some light on an a vibration issue I am having with my 2019 F3 Limited. I literally only have this issue at speeds between 59-63 mph. So, it is not the typical belt vibration I have read about at the higher speeds. I can feel it coming from underneath my feet area which leads me to believe it is the belt. I already have a Lamonster belt dampener installed with very few miles. So, I was just curious if anyone else experiences this or ideas on a cause.
 
Could be the front tires are out of balance and/or it needs an alignment. Just guessing. My original Kendas did that, but now that I have car tires, all is good and well.

IMHO if it was due to un-balanced tires, once you get to a speed where you notice a vibration .... the vibration only gets worse, it doesn't stop by going faster. .... However if the tires are OEM Kenda's all bets are off .... they have many issues that cause problems, some of them can not even be Balanced.... Mike :thumbup:
 
As good as belt dampeners are, you can still experience some light vibration under certain conditions. From the front tires to the rear tire every moving part has its own harmonic vibration however slight. When one, two, or more of these slight vibrations come into sync with one another it can be hard to diagnose their origin. Particularly at 59/63 MPH. Throw in the road surface caused vibrations and together they all can drive you crazy. Try to focus on conditions that may create the vibes. Uphill, downhill, flat and smooth acceleration, or deceleration, and so on. I have a slightly annoying vibration when I'm on a long downhill when using cruise control. I don't think anything will cure that. Check your belt dampener bearing too.
 
Thank you for the replies. A little more info, I switched to Q5 tires already because yes, the Kendas suck. Tires are well balanced and have no apparent flaws.
