Hey guys

 

2013 street bob with 103

stage 1 kit with VH big radious pipes

i cant belive how much vibration goes through the hangers / pegs and frame in general ... i was reading online how there might of been a recall for front engine mount.

i called my local HD dealer and they have never heard of it being a issue .. ran my VIN with no records of Recalls ...

it vibrated that much i lost seat bolt....

going to take it to my local dealer next week to get it sorted ... need to wear a bloody mouth guard...

Get onto it mate i have one of the first streetbob's with the 103 and i went through 2 front engine mounts in the first 6 months

On a tangent, but inline with H&Hs comment ...

My 103 has stage 1 / SE Super-tuner, as applied by dealer.

It STILL pops a little on deceleration.

Is the Supertuner ONLY any good, for a 'flash tune' .... or is the diligence / ability of tech at dealer, more in play ?

I get a lot of pops sounds awesome but could be to lean :/ was just a dealer tune ..
The bloke who I'm taking it to next week said he will go over it ..

It is my understanding that Dealers configure them with a map which is generic & only covers a limited amount of fine tuning which will be adjusted properly with a Dynotune in the right hands

awesome .. could be the case as i have another issue with the rear rocker head getting so bloody hot it burns my inner thigh.. very uncomfortable riding it.. i think it needs a decent tune .. hopefully Monday will get it sorted

Check the alignment of the front engine mount..

It might need to be shimmed..

Makes a huge difference if set up properly.

Search the forum,, there are heaps of posts on it

Thanks mate very helpful..

local harley dealer said and i quote " YOU BOUGHT A DYNA GET USE TO IT "

gday limpn,bought an 07 low rider a while ago.on the 2 hour ride home,the vibes in the right peg killed my foot over 95 kmh.checked the front mount and found the outer mount section had sagged on to the inner piece.fitted a new mount [ on the dealer ] and reduced the vibes by 85 % then shimmed the inner section back from the frame a bit and rdduced another 10% of the vibes.as this is my first proper harley ,i have nothing to compare it to but its good now. if we told our customers to " get used to it " they would probably shove the machine up our arse sideways.hope this helps a bit.cheers

Find a different dealer or someone different at the dealer as that attitude should be left at home. I would crack the chits with a dealer saying that to me and go straight to the dealership manager.

cheers guys

this is the same dealer 3 years ago told me " i would never be able to afford a harley and to stick to my jap crap"
words from the salesmen mouth .....

i now drive 2hrs to sydney cbd and get my parts .. instead of the 20min drive to those local rip off bastards..

they just quote me 2k for a service and fit and supply mid controls

got bike back yesterday... put polly bushes in trees got rid of 80% of the vibration i was getting.. just a little bit now in the pegs but its bearable
