I'm an s10 noob! That said, my bike has a super annoying footpeg vibration on acceleration between 3-4k RPM . I noticed it right away on the test ride and made the shop's mechanic assess it before I'd be willing to purchase it. Anyways, he explained it as a drive line/shaft drive nuance, and since then I've seen a very good explanation online about what causes the shudder (can't seem to find it now). Anyways, the logic behind the vibration makes sense (loading and unloading the u-joints(?)), but I'm bringing it up because it seems like no one online is talking about it. I assume the lack of discussion is for one of two reasons:
1. Because it truly is normal for the bike, and everyone just ignores it because we all have the same sensation, or
2. Because no one has that sensation, and there's actually something wrong with my bike and mine alone.
I guess I just would like some input/reassurance from the community as to whether or not I'm in the clear to just enjoy my new moto.
