CG vibration through foot pegs?

[mudcow007]

took my CG for its MOT yesterday, it failed but only on pitted fork stanchion - tester actually told me to stick gaiters on it an he will pass it

and the tester said they don't charge for MOT fails (Mersey Motorcycles on Derby Road) which is nice....

anyways this is the first time i have actually ridden the bike on the road an gotten up to "proper" road speeds 40mph+

its got quite a bit of vibration through the foot pegs, maybe its me ridding it in too high a gear? or could it be caused by anything else?

thanks

Making sure the engine bolts and nuts are tight.
And the foot rests.
Check engine drive sprocket it could be worn.

Agree with the OP, it could be a worn chain and sprocket set causing this.

cheers all, chain an sprockets are new...

i will check all my nuts n bolts.

i think the cush rubbers in the back wheel are worn, maybe that has something to do with it?

It could be down to the fact that the footpegs are bolted onto the bottom of the engine itself. It's natural therefore to get vibrations through the pegs. Make sure the engine is securely bolted to the frame, and that the pegs are likewise with the engine.
