Im talking 'bout the BAD vibrations....

[richie....]

Well, as you may know, i have a Suzuki GS125 on a T plate with about 13,500 miles.

Its vibrating quite bad, its fine if you go easy, i.e ride proplerly upto 30 in 5th, but if i pull away in first, into second, as the revs get higher, its get worse.

Im starting to think it could be an engine bearing, the vibration feels like its coming from the engine, all the bolts around it are tight and i can feel the vibrations worse from the foot pegs upto the handle bars.

can anyone shed some light over this issue?

im worried about the bike going pop and i rely on it for work.

cheers guyts.

You're doing 30mph in 5th gear??

And check the tyre pressure - That can result in bad vibration.

[hmmmmm]

Is there timing on these liike the rs/ mitos?? But tyre pressure quick and easy check 1st eliminate that

[JoeDougieDoug...]

I'm fairly interested to see how this one plays out - Let us know what it was when you find out.

well ive done the tyres, its helped a bit like (aswell as better handling andmore speed, obviously, waxs only 20PSI in them lol)

as doing the tires, i noticed that the rubber from the air filter to the carb hasnt got a jubilee clip on and its practically come off so obviously, the engine isnt running as it should!

illlet you know what happens when i sort this out later on back at home!

[jimmyRS]

a loose air filter wouldnt cause these bad vibrations your on about, although definitely fix that.

So the vibrations only happen when you increase rpm? not speed? In which case why bother with checking the tyres and wheel bearings? And bad timing also wouldn't make it vibrate like crazy; just run shit.

I know youve said you've checked all engine mounts and they're secure, but check where the mounts are actually welded onto the frame/cradle, no cracks or splits in them? I had a similar problem and that was the cause of it.

No knocking from the bottom end at all? Chain tensioned correctly? Sprockets and chain aren't worn?

[jimmyRS]

lol nout to do with input/output etc. If the engines vibrating enough to send it all the way through the frame to the pegs and up to the bars then it'll definitely be putting it through the sprocket/chain

n yeah aha ;D

[Mikey3]

[jimmyRS]

course, but what im gettin at is if that chains worn and slipping around on the sprocket, or vice versa, thats not gonna help at all with vibrations

[Mikey3]

[richie....]

Well, carbs done, there a pain aint they?

Anways, we may have an answer.....the bikes a bodge.

Guy i bought it off said it had been powder coated but its been slung back together, random size bolts, tank having NO bolts in it, rubbers around fittings missing......

Also, the chain and sprokets look past it.

Are they easy to do, i mean i know how to do it, ot just getting the rear wheel true again...

[jimmyRS]

[richie....]

cheers, need to het haynes first, could do with cables aswell, rear fairing is smahed and the headlights a mess, yeah £560 gone good lol.

I bought it to my test to sell on but feel its far too tatty to sell on for decent money back....

[jimmyRS]

nah it'll be worth it in the long run good to get to know the bike and do a bit of problem solving, itll help down the line

as for getting your money back, maybe not, just stick to a tight budget and if you're not in a hurry to sell it you should atleast break even

reminds me when i picked up my rs50 project bike, the guy wanted 500 initially, ended up riding it away for £190 aha! But its definitely been a project and a half, and still is

[Mikey3]

[jimmyRS]

LOL, love that man

heres one for you

much love
