Minor accident, I now have vibrations at 3-3.2krpm

[Anonymous]

hi again all.

Sorry to say I took a dive over someones trunk. Dumbass cut off 3 lanes of rush hour traffic.

I cant figure why the engine would now vibrate a bit more and a lot at 3000 to 3200 rpm.

Anyway I busted the R turn sig and dinged headlamp.
I have eng guards but almost unnoticable scratch on chrome cam cover.
some scratches on R fork base. thats it.

ANY Ideas to check are welcome

My guess is that the crash caused a misfire in 1 of 2 ways: First, either gas or oil slightly fouled a plug when the bike was lying on its side. Second, a piece of dirt that was in the carb bowl bottom was shaken loose on impact and has plugged a pilot or main jet. The impact doesn't sound severe enough for much else (bent crank end, torn coil wires, cracked spark plugs, etc...) so I would investigate those 2 avenues first.

Hi Stimpy, you didn't say at what angle you hit the motorist?? did you hit the forks? could be fork or body tweak.............................ken.........

I would also check the carb sync, could have jared them out of sync

Looking at the trauma the bike took, i'd say to check the torque of all of the engine mount bolts. You said vibration, not a miss, right?
