    Driveline vibration elimination (hopefully!)

    Not noticeably no. I decided to do a test yesterday and pulled it to about 100 mph. Vibration returned and, interestingly, remained also at lower speeds, around 70-75 mph for a while, then got less and less until it was 'back to normal'.

    Driveline vibration elimination (hopefully!)

    Small update is that, while I am still waiting for some of the necessary parts to come into to do the chain guide swap and belt change, I did do my commute yesterday and today and, interestingly, the vibration has become much less in the 75-90 MPH range. So it does not seem something 'broke and...

    favorite online BMW parts?

    Here in the US, I just got a small tube (= plenty for many belt changes) from a Honda dealer - apparently Honda use it on some of their motorcycles.

    Driveline vibration elimination (hopefully!)

    Thanks Rolla - we'll see once all the parts have come in to do the various tasks. I do hope it's not the torsion vibration damper, that would be a major undertaking to replace. As for the 'steal pricing', I have the used part but haven't installed it yet. Given how rare any reference to this...

    Thanks Mike. Actually that Unirex N3 is exactly what the workshop manaul calls for, I've managed to track some down in the form of a tube issued by Honda (same grease) as I was unable to find it stateside anywhere earlier today.

    Driveline vibration elimination (hopefully!)

    In a few other threads I reported that my 2016 C650 Sport with 13,500 miles on the clock last week developed a driveline vibration at higher speeds, upward of 75 MPH (120 KMH) that gets progressively worse the faster I go. It did not use to have this, or at least not nearly as noticeable. I...

    Please chime in on chains

    Thanks so much for this info, again, Delray. I just ordered the various items on your list to install my first (stage 1) chain rail. I am just over 13,000 miles, so it's a bit early, but then again it's had a pretty hard life with the bulk of it city (Los Angeles) driving, start-stop and so on -...

    C650GT Rear Wheel Bearing Life

    I decided to, for the first time on my 2016 Sport with about 12K miles, check the rear wheel play yesterday. There is only in one specific spot a tiny amount of play side to side, I estimate about a half millimeter or maybe less, at the outside of the wheel. The rest of the circumference has 0...

    Torque wrenches

    Not sure to post this but ..... I never use a torque wrench for oil/filter changes, I seem to be able to do it fine 'by feel' - have not had any issues in oil/filter changes for the past 15 or so years on maintaining our 8 cars and 4 motorcycles, even suspension work like shocks/struts/control...

    a matter of aesthetics and the proportion of a tall driver and engine

    Here's an entertaining comparison. If you pause at 3:13 and 8:24 I think you will instantly see why you have that impression of difference in size:
