    it didnt vibrate before so its just what 172's do then but it vibrates so much it makes your feet numb everyone will think i'm pissed when i get off it haha

    As said you mounts were probably bad before or on the way out and you never realised. The kit being fitted youll definetely feel it more and it can make it worse too.

    Bike + Big bore + Dodgy mounts = trouble... Get that engine out and sort those mounts before you come off!

    vibrations on an sr

    iv had the same problem. but i put a new bush kit in and its still the same so i took the fly wheel of took it to a friend and had him put it on the lathe and lighten it. she runns much smoother now.

    p.s
    that was with a malossi 172 fitted. :punk:

    Re: vibrations on an sr

    any reason why your writings in red?? lol

    or u just in a colourful mood lol

    thats whats put me off 125/172 etc. the vibrations get on my fecking nerves, but having said that you do get used to it pretty quickly

    red writing will get me noticed lol.

    you can get a silent block kit aswell with helps stop the vibrations as its made from more dureable rubber.

    dont get put off 172s as they rule.

    Loool..... if you carry on writing in red you will probably end up getting banned for destroying peoples eye's as it is a little difficult so why not type like so :D

    use dark yellow it jumps off the screen more, helps dyslecsic people read for some reason.
