Ok, so I'll say I'm not the easiest on my meanstreak, but I do regular maintenance and love to ride. In the past month a few problems has come up that I have yet to figure out. I've searched here on the forums and have found several different possibilities. I haven't done any mods as far as performance for a while now. The bike has 14k miles on her.
The problems that have occured...
1) vibration between 2k and 3300 rpm throughout the entire bike, handlebars and seat even sitting still. Not a big deal but kinda worries me... Some say headlight rattling or radiator but I've checked them and still does it. Possible cam chain tensioners need extenders?
2) lights seem to flicker (cluster lights and running lights). Bad ground maybe?where are the ground points at on the meanies?
3) Fuel shut off is at 120 mph at around 5300 rpm in 5th gear. I know it used to would top out at 132 mph at around 6k rpm. It'll redline in all the other gears though. I don't always speed, but like to know I have it when I pass on a narrow road. What could have happened to cause the change? Another ground issue? If so, why only in 5th gear though?
