Vibration

[SpyderDon]

I have a vibration, especially around 4800 - 5200 RPM, it feels like I'm going over a bridge grate.

Anyone eles experienced anything like this?

Chances are it's your belt tension.

Will it hurt to ride it another 100 or so miles? I've got a little over 500 on it now and the dealer is 70 miles away. I'm streatching it out as much as I can stand because I'm waiting on a GPS. I've read that they are on back order till Nov but he said at time of sail he would have one around the 17th. I really don't want to make two trips if I don't have to. But, in 11 days and a wake-up, but who's counting, I'll have plenty of time. Now if something turns out to be more than a one day job, that's another story. I own a 5 by 8' trailor, know anyone that wants to trade for a 6 b610'? Sure would make it easy.

I wouldn't be to concerned about it. Just have them check the tension on your next visit. You're always going to have some vibration from a belt that long but you can move it to a different rpm by adjusting the tension.

In addition to getting the belt checked---- what gear are you in when this happens? Does it happen in all gears? Make sure you're not lugging the engine. Spdyer likes higher than 5,000 rpms for the most part.....

Thanks Lamont, I sure feel better about making the trip to the dealers, hopefully this week.
