Vibration, what vibration?

[MrRiden]

I have to laugh at a lot of of the bike reviews I've seen in magazines over the years. It seems when a reviewer is stumped at what to say next he'll go for some idiotic comment like "slight buzz felt in foot pegs" or other. This is nonsense on the order of complaining about toast because it was a bit crisp in texture. Twins inherently have a good rhythm that can be felt and one of the reasons I prefer them. I will say though that when running on the freeway above 5k my R65 begins to have an electric motor like feel, it becomes that smooth.

I had a vibration problem with my 80 R-65  It was most noticable at the foot pegs. I saw an article in the Bmwmoa news. My local shop owner bought rubber motor mounts from an old chevy and rubber mounted the motor. My size 15 feet were very happy after this fix

Did you save the metal spacers that were in there from the factory, or were you able to use the rubber mounts with them ?

My 1980 has the buzz at about 4200 rpm.  I made it go away with a Luftmeister Kit off eBay.  Replaced the spacers on the engine bolt under the cylinder with rubber coated spacers.

Problem solved.
