Hi Guys,
Need some expert opinion please. I have a 2015 Gen 2 Super tenere without ES.
I bought my bike used at 17000km and i just did a major service at 22,000. I had the mechanic change the oil to 10w40 Eni brand. Put a new OEM filter. 4 New OEM plugs and HiFlo Air filter. I also had the mechanic check the throttle bodies and balanced them.
The problem is that the bike has developed a lot of vibrations on the handlebar at 4.5K RPM onwards. I cant really maintain rpms higher than that without suffering a lot of vibration.
It was super smooth before and I have reached speeds of 200kmph and more without vibration.
Things I have checked -
1) Had the TB sync redone.
2) Pulled in the clutch slightly at higher RPM's hoping it would be the clutch basket related issue. No difference. I have a Gen 2 and everything seems fine with the clutch
3) Not holding the bars tightly. Using the cruise control at higher speeds and not holding the bars at all. (bad Idea, I know). Both the mirrors shake and get blurry. So it doesn't make sense going higher than 140kmph with the vibration.
4) Pulled in the clutch to coast at higher speeds. The vibes go away while coasting so it definitely is something with the engine.
4) Changed the preload, compression, damping to different settings hoping to experiment and see a difference. No noticeable improvement.
Does anyone have an idea what could be the reason for the vibes?
I have had multiple trips to the mechanic for the last 3 months. I cant be sure what is causing the vibes. I am not sure if the vibes have progressively increased or directly related to the maintenance performed.
I do have a bent front wheel that tends to shake at speeds of 50KMPH but it all goes away after 100 KMPH. Its not the wheel.
I am thinking of buying anti vibration risers. Grip Puppies. A manometer to do the TB sync myself. But before I start a spending spree, maybe I can get it fixed at the mechanics.
Any help will be appreciated.
Thanks
