• 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.

Vibration

5500 rpm sounds like grinding rocks.

"My 2011 RSS SE5 feels like it is grinding rocks at 5500 rpm, all gears. There is also a cyclical vibration felt in the left foot peg. What is it? How do I get rid of it. I have about 2500 miles on it and like to ride aggressively."


Posted the above previously and didn't get a good answer....further searching brought me to this thread. I am not very mechanically inclined, so I hope my dealer doesn't give me a hard time when I tell him to look into the solution presented here.

One source of vibration has been investigated and its cause and a solution found. Try the info in the following link:

I got rid of my vibration with the drive belt tensioner, smoothens my RT right out! The drive belt tension has been reduced in 2010 so with such a long belt the bottom slackens up under load and it seems to want to jump the rear sproket. The tensioner takes care of that. Thanks Capt Jim?

I agree that this is a viable solution for a lot of people, no problem with mine, but I think a good first step is to check front tire balance first.
