I've read this article here :
http://motorcycleinfo.calsci.com/ST1300_b.html#Engine
and a few other articles on the ST forum so I think I'm going to try it in the next week or 2 (when I get some free time). However, none of the articles or threads I read seem to tell me what is it exactly I am 'feeling' to know that I need to adjust it ? I have owned this 2005 since new, have 130k on it and never needed to adjust it. Then all of a sudden a few weeks ago, I notice a vibration in my seat, my bars and in my pegs. At first I thought I was low on oil, or my new tire was out of balance, but its not a big vibration. Its this annoying as hell vibration that I feel on my track bike thru the handle bars because it has no bar end weights. Like a secondary vibration ? I feel the vibration at 40-60mph (where most cruising on back roads happen) and almost in any gear.
Is this the tell tale that I FINALLY need to adjust the balancers ?
Any thoughts appreciated.
Thanks.
