I know this has been discussed many times before, but I still need more help. I have a used 2014 RT10500 mile Spider. I have a vibration in the whole bike, meaning the wind shield, handle bars, seat, foot pegs at 55 and up. I cant tell if it's coming from the front tires, back tire or belt. I have new tires on the front, ContiProContact, balanced with dina beads still same vibration. I have adjusted the belt tension to 180 with the kricket. The back tire is stock Kenda balanced with dina beads. I've always worked on my bikes so now I'm learning about the spyder. I don't trust the dealer so now I need a little help from the Forum. Thanks, Neil

I just wanted to follow up, the vibration is fixed. It turned out to be the tires plus some self inflicted troubles. Front I installed 155/60R15 Continental ContiProContact spun Balanced. Rear is a Michelin Premier A/S 205/60/15 with no balanceing. Smooth ride!!
Thanks to all that helped me on this forum.

OK, gotta ask, why would you do that ??

why

.

Because the tire shop was unable to balance the rear tire. Wouldn't fit on their machine.

:shocked: There's a whole bunch of ways to balance a tire... :banghead:

I mean without a machine: of course!
