Question
i took my 07 1700 yamaha siliverado to the shop for a vibration. it was like the vibration of a 500cc two stroke suzuki or worse. the shop said thay found that there was two much oil in crankcase and oil in the air cleaner. when i ask how does that caus a vibration i was told that i had a sticking valve. so i ask how does a bike with only 2500 miles have valve problems. i was told that the excess oil was causing carbon build up on the valves. what is your opinion? chuck d tampa fla.

hardly noticable in nuteral but when crusing at 60 mph it feels like bees in handlebars and floorboards
Accepted Answer
if it were a problem in the engine w/the crak shaft or pistons it would vibrate in nuetral. and the same with the clutch it would vibrate in nuetral becuase the clutch basket is spinning with engine rpm. I would say your problem lies in the front wheel, either with balance issues or loose spokes. check your tire tread for uneven wear. the engine is not balanced with a counterbalancer and has inherent vibration built in.
