Foot Pegs vibrating, what are my options?

It's not an RPM thing, more of a speed thing. I notice it vibrates around 30 mph, then around 65-70 it seems to get worse. What's weird is at about 95 mph it smooths out and is nice. I know it doesn't make sense, lol. But it's tempting me to speed.

 

Wheel balance? Bearings?

 

I agree with Tinker. I'd order the DynoJet Kit. Do not go cheap. Get the real deal. Study the instructions off and on for a couple of days. Follow the instructions to the nth degree. Don't cut any corner. If you're not sure which jets to put in, call them. They'll be glad to help you out.


I've seen jet kits reduce vibrations in a gen 1 FZ1, and my Honda 599. The 599 has a bad rep for being buzzy. Re-jetted, they're not bad. I also had a Honda 919 that broke things, before I put a Power Commander on it.

 

My foot pegs are also vibrating, left one is worse

Hi, you say the thing should run like a sewing machine. Really? No vibrations in foot pegs above 6500 rpm? I feel like it used to be better, but I´m not sure whether it has not been there since I bought VFR 800 1999. I know my bike has already 103 000 km, but this season it seems to be more noticable and irritating that when accelerating above 6,5 k RPM especially left footpeg starts vibrating and keeps vibrating till I reach maximum RPM and switch gear. It seems to me fiddling with foot pegs is just covering the problem, not solving it. I have read quite a lot threads devoted to this topic here and some riders say the V4 should vibrate and it´s a common feature of all V4s. You say they should run smoothly. Well, I unfortunatelly have had no other opportunity to ride any other VFR 800 FI, but there are lots of riders who have plenty of experience. Should this model run smoothly with no perceptible vibrations over the whole RPM range or is it typical to feel vibrations here and therefore we should not be worried about that?

My 3rd gen runs smooth. No frame or peg vibrations. Could help that its is very low km also.

 

Turn the engine off.

 

FWIW mine being a 5th gen, being I rode it through all types of riding conditions over the week end, it was as smooth as silk in all the rpm and speed ranges. One might look into tire balancing, or lost or lose engine mounting bolts.

 

Bad chain will vibrate ur feet . As soon as I change it then smooth again..

If it starts at the same rev range, no matter what gear you're in or what speed you're doing, then it has nothing to do with chain.
Mine does it as well most noticable on the left peg, it starts around 6000, gets to it's worst at 7500, but continues all the way to red line.
It will change for better or worse and up and down the rev range a bit if I fiddle with the starter valves.
So my guess is fuelling/air flow related.
All my engine bolts are torqued correctly, and my injectors are clean and flow tested to within 1%. I also have a PCIII.
From information here, it seems some bikes are worse then others.
It is not really bad, but very noticable. My grips are fine.
