Vibration

[R&L Limted]

had first service done at 810 miles on a RLT-2013 model. dealer service tech. set front tire's at 16.5 & rear at 26.5 . thought they were 18 & 28? Said belt aliment was correct & tension was also.we went about 200miles Sat. and from 58 to 68 our floor boards had alot of vibration - running from 4150 to 5400 rpm's. It was windy and rolling hills but avg rpm's were at 4800. The belt is about 1/32 from flange or . 89-mm. do not have a criket, so do not know tension. I had put the air to 18 & 28. when we left the house we were at 1350 mileage & when we got home we were at 1565. could the belt have stretched? :dontknow::banghead: we always ride two-up. Thank you!

I would take it back to dealer to check tension on belt. You will have some vibration but your sound excessive.

You probably need to cruise at a higher rev. Mine gets real smooth around 5.5-6K.

Need to be more specific. What's your rpm shift points?
4800 is no means high. My shift points are 5800-6200
With speed limit at 55 in ny i'm in 4th gear the most.Won't shift to 5th
until i get up to around 6000. Certain rpms will get more belt vibrarion.

JMO:yikes:

Shift points 5300 to 6500, was cruzing on a four lane 68 mph,with cruze set.

Sounds like all is well with shift points. I get a little belt vibration but not severe.
I would have dealer check it out or go with a belt tensioner. I would have one but have nor seen one for 13 rs.

They are an easy install:clap:
