Motorcycle Forum / General / Yamaha / July 2003vstar vibration
My 2003 vstar 650 classic vibrates at 60MPH or faster. Below that speed there is no vibration. Is this typcial for this model or is there someting that needs to be adjusted by the dealer since it is a new motorcycle? V-twin engines are notorious for vibrating. It's in their nature. I suspect you are at pretty high RPM at 60MPH and above. Probably getting near the red line with the 650. > My 2003 vstar 650 classic vibrates at 60MPH or faster.

I don't have a tach so i am not sure what the rpm is....I would assume that the motorcycle is capable of doing that speed and then some, right. I just don't want the vibration to do any damage. > V-twin engines are notorious for vibrating. It's in their nature. I suspect > you are at pretty high RPM at 60MPH and above.

They will not rev past a certain RPM. I don't believe you can actually damage your machine that way. > Check this out: http://www.powersportsnetwork.com/enthusiasts/answer_create.asp?veh=5554&quest=2335 > > I don't have a tach so i am not sure what the rpm is....I would assume > that [quoted text clipped - 12 lines] > > someting > > > > that needs to be adjusted by the dealer since it is a new motorcycle? Thanks for all the input guys. I appreciate it. I am still learning about this stuff. Mark > One more thing: The V-Stars have rev limiters. They will not rev past a > certain RPM.

Hell, it'll handle over 90mph with no problem. The vibration is just typical V-twin stuff. You'll also notice that it seems to need a 6th gear. That's also by design. The motor is designed to rev higher than a Hardley so that there's good oil distribution.  SignatureSteve >My 2003 vstar 650 classic vibrates at 60MPH or faster.

John My wife's VS 650 Classic has a vibration at about 55 - 60 MPH and then at 62 MPH goes away. We regularly drive 65 - 75 on the freeways and she has no vibration at these speeds or higher.

Try a front fork brace, I added an ATK to my XS11, and man, it makes a world of difference. Cheers!
