Vibration!!!

Hi All... Need some input on a "problem" with my SP1.. When pulling away from a standstill, there is a vibration felt through the frame & pegs. This is most pronounced in 1st & 2nd gear.(ALOT worse with my GF on pillion!!!) I have replaced the chain & sprockets, and checked wear on the clutch basket...(it also used to "snatch" the clutch when pulling away at rpm's over 2000 resulting in power wheelies and a poke in the ribs from my GF!!!)..The basket & all plates are in spec. Any ideas???

Re: Vibration!!!

I agree wih RED Rider - Whenever the chain is alittle loose, you'll get alot of chain slap - vibration
