vibrations...
Ditto'. same here. I thought I was assuming the needle vibrations, till I got my friend to ride the bike and he confirmed the same. The vibrations started after I crossed 900kms or so and its felt more on the left foot peg at 4 to 4.5K RPM. There are no vibs on the handle bar as such. Also, after the first service (at around 700kms), the bike had developed a certain knocking sound on the rear brakes, took it to the service center and they took off the rear wheel and put it back in! the technician told me it wasnt put back properly the last time (during first service!Originally posted by abhichotu.abhi View Posti feel vibrations on my bike when revs above 4K rpm.. rpm needle also vibrates. bike has clocked 1094kms
is it normal or something wrong with my bike
) but that solved the knocking sound. The vibrations started about 1 week from then. I've clocked 1130kms so far and haven't faced any other issues apart from this.
Is this a known problem?
Any solution from the gurus will be deeply appreciated..

man i was lucky enough....my warrany would have been void...i crossed 2.5k mark approx 2700 kmsOriginally posted by ayilliath View Post2000 kms to 2500 kms on the odometer reading
i assumed that its 2000 to 2500 kms from the last servicing
thats why i didnt take it for servicing before 2.5k......
today i went to the service center.....i bluffed the guy that the bike has done 2425 kms instead of 2725 kms......that guy directing entered into the manual...without even checking the odometer reading......
thank goddd.....from next time onwards i will be really cautious....

i have never felt vibrations until 80 kmph....which is around 6.5k rpm.....yaa only the rpm needle vibrates...
the bike feels really smooth after the 2nd servicing is done......

dude nt only ur bike every new bike makes the owner feel like vibrations at the initial states when u cross 4rpm as it is nt used to high speed the engine needs some time to get adjusted.....as u said ur bike crossed 1000kms hav a ride of around 20-30 km long @speeds of 30kmph in 1st gear,45kmph in 2nd gear,60kmph in 3rd gear,80kmph in 4th gear and 110kmph in 5th....ride in this manner fr a long ride aftr that u il find ur bike vry smooth.Originally posted by abhichotu.abhi View Posti feel vibrations on my bike when revs above 4K rpm.. rpm needle also vibrates. bike has clocked 1094kms

I think +- 200 should generally be acceptable.Originally posted by deepthekool View Postman i was lucky enough....my warrany would have been void...i crossed 2.5k mark approx 2700 kms
