  • CBZ Xtreme vibration problem

    Hello guys i need your help again.
    I have a cbz xtreme (Black+red) which has done approx. 7000 km. But for many days i am having a problem with my bike for vibrations. I talked with many mechanics but none of them were able to solve my problem. the main problem is:

    whenever my rpm crosses 4k in any gear the bike vibrates mainly handlebar & footpegs. At 5th gear whenever i'm close to 60kmp/h it starts to vibrate. After crossing 97kmp/h my bike vibrates a lot by that i mean the whole body vibrates. (i think its common for all the cbz's they vibrate after 95kmp/h or after 100kmp/h)

    I didnt have a headache with it till now coz it was still lot smoother than most of the other 150cc's & thought the vibration will reduce by time.

    But recently i've gone crazy after driving a brand new hunk of my friend. i didn't feel anything from it till 7k rpm ( thats the highest i revved on that bike) it was so damn smooth. After test riding this i drove another cbz which is thrashed all the time, i mean no running-in done, used 20W40 grade oil etc, but still that bike showed no vibration in handlebar or footpegs.

    More information: i completed my run-in the way it has to be. I always used 10w30 castrol power 1. Done the servicing on time. never revved my bike till it has warmed up. Top speed i have achieved till now is 118kmp/h. currently getting a mileage of 40+ kmp/L.

    please everyone help me about this.for some days whenever i drive my bike i get no feel no happiness as it has been my best friend since i bought it. please tell me what should i do to remove this problem plzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

      hii,

      i have new hunk.just 1 months old. done 850 Kms. i have also the same problem (exactly) but may be this is a new bike thats why I'm getting vibes but if it persists I'm going to give some earful to the regional sales manager. I had two conversations / complaints regarding the dealer to the regional manager and my GOD the reply was prompt and smooth.. Just mail or talk to regional manager nd I hope you have the warranty. At least I will do it if the vibe doesn't goes beyond 2000 kms.

      Experts need good suggestion please

        thanks bro for your reply. I live in Bangladesh so unfortunately i can only avail warranty only when my engine is not running at all thats why i'm searching for solutions. And to tell the truth i am having this problem till the start but didn't feel it that way coz i hardly revved my engine beyond 4k.
        Hope you can solve your problem as soon as possible & dont ride any other cbz/hunk till this problem solves otherwise you are going to be very dissatisfied with your bike just like me :P :P :P

        Seeking expert help plzzzzzzzzzz

          there are two things possible

          Resonance: which is normal and will occur at a particular RPM. [example 4000 rpm engine sounds bit rash and slight vibe feel ]

          Vibration: this may happen if any parts are loose or faulty

          if you feel its vibration do consult a reliable mechanic or SVC if they are reliable

            hii MSN,

            my hunk is new ( 1 month old). I have the same problem as described by the thread creator. along with that I'm getting a mileage of 37-38 kmpl. its shocking because previously I had hunk which was 2 yrs old and I was getting around 48. I have done 820 Kms and first service alre4ady done. changed engine oil at 243 kms,now at 750 Kms and next planning for 1500 Kms.

            kindly shed some light what may be the problem because I will be going to the svc on monday. Suggestion?

              i will try to assume that engine is alright internally.

              now for vibrations, check and tighten engine mounting bolts i.e. engine foundation bolts and also check if vibration reducing pads are in place and ok.

              2nd thing -- is it handle bar vibrations of handlebar wobble. try to check cone set and bearings and check and tighten the nuts holding it in place.

              if this vibration problem was not present earlier (when the bike was new) and appeared now, there can be other problems too like crankshaft, bearings etc.

              btw, 10w30 oil........plz check with manual.

                Honda engines have counter balancers inside it to avoid vibration problems, the engine shouldn't vibrate beyond bearable level.
                Why don't you guys head to the HH SVC and ask for a solution ?

                The mechanics there ride 100's of CBZ's every day, they may have a solution.
                It can be the rubber mount issue as prince mentioned, but i doubt weather honda uses rubber mountings to hold the engine like bajaj does.
                or could be some other problem.
                Whatever it would be, can be rectified under warranty.
                Head to the SVC soon.

                  I would suggest a method of trial and elimination.

                  Your vibration need not necessarily be engine related.

                  Try this, place the bike on centre stand, and rev up to see if you are getting same vibes. If yes, defenitely engine or mounting issue.

                  If not, try to raise rear wheel and try the same. If vibes exist, could be drivetrain issue. Check primary and secondary drive (sprockets)

                  If no vibrations felt while on stands, check the trueness of your wheels. Could be balancing problem.

                  Good luck. Ride safe.

                    ^^^ I second that. Isolating the problem should be the first step.

                      today rode my hunk for 55 Kms in kolkata city giving a 30 mins break. When I was coming I felt the engine to be very hot and when I rev. black smoke is coming out continuously from exhaust+ vibration is still there.

                      monday going to SVC. pls suggest me what are the things to be taken care of. As i'm going to eat up their heads unless and until they rectify all my problem. Even my mileage 37-38. Its shocking after first service. I have completed 850 kms today. suggestion please????

                        Vibrations were present from the day i first start it . I think engine mounting bolts are ok coz everytime i go to svc or to my mechanic i tell them to do it.
                        about the handlebar? i dont know which one is cone set.recently one of the mechanic loose the handlebar & said it wont vibrate now but no result.
                        HH recommends 10w30 oil for cbz xtreme.

                        When i place the bike on center stand i get the same vibes. I didnt try this by raising the rear wheel, after doing it i'll let you know for sure. Mechanics said that the wheels are balanced.

                        First of all the vibes that i'm having from 4k rpm is bearable but spoils the party coz other cbz's dont have it. But when my bike goes above 97kmp/h i do feel there are unbearable vibration.
                        In Bangladesh there are only one authorised svc of HH & they do nothing & can't do anything.

                        Is there anyone who has faced the same problem & solved it??
                        By the way thanks for so many replies.

                          Warm up the engine by riding for 5 Kms , then drain the old engine oil completely...fill Engine with fresh MINERAL oil of 20 W 40 with JASO MA 2 compliance. Drive the bike for at least 20 Kms and see ... there will be improvement...10W30 recommended by HH is thin for our temperature and deteriorates fast...

                            ++1 to PSR the bike engine is from Honda so trying Honda recommended grade wont cause any issue

                              thanks buddy for your reply...i'll definitely try it....by the way the other bikes that i drove also use 10w30. so if those bikes dont have vibration then why my bike should have it? this is my main concern actually.
                              Did you have the same problem? what bike do you have? did you solve it by applying th above mentiones method....

                              i'll definitely try the method you said after some days because i drained my oil 2days ago.....
