  • Returning Visitors

    If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.

    If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

Putting extra weight into the handlebars? didn't make any di

Easy to check the crank while still in the frame. Use either a dial indicator or positive dead stop with a degree wheel. I never twisted a 1100 or 1150 crank but twisted a 1000 crank in 78!

I was just wondering if it were possible that your crankshaft is a bit twisted
i removed vibration from my bike by a combination of the things mentioned. The thing that finally cured the problem was an electronic ballancing of the front wheel.

Both front and rear wheel is balanced, same vibrations with different tyres and different balancing, due to normal tyre change.

I think the problem is engine related or the GS 1150 just is like that.
 
I just filled the "stainless steel sand" into the handlebars.

Must say there was actually no difference of the vibrations. :cry:

The best improvment so far, has been to retourqe the engine.

An other strange thing is, if it is cold outside 0-5 C and I start the bike in the morning, take to the office, the vibrations are much less, almost all gone. This state is what I am aiming for.

In the same evening as outside temperature rose to 10-15 C and I go back home from the office, the vibrations starts again, and always only at 112 - 122 km/h in fifth gear, other speeds no problems at all, if another gear is in it appears at other speeds.

Maybe the GS1150 is like that, I compare it with my former GS1100 1981, witch not had that problem.
