Engine vibration

bkray · DTR Senior Member

Erm, not sure what to say mate... generally the engine does vibrate, just im guessing not as bad as your describing... :/ is your engine secured in properly? thatd be a good start. :) hope you get it sorted though.

Does it rattle or rumble atall? Or is it jus pure vibration ?

all 2 stroke's vibrate mate....and it get's worst because most 2 stroke's dont have rev limiter's they just hit a flat spot in that gear! Which is why it get's worst....

I would'nt worry mate as long as there is no bad knocking noises or anything it should be fine biggrin
