Low speed trembling
« on: March 22, 2012, 05:15:33 AM »
I've noticed a few times when giving it a little throttle at a very slow speed (just barely enough to keep it upright) that it will sometimes tremble. It goes away, but seems odd. Anyone know what I'm talkin' about?

Yeah, I know what you are talking about! Mine has been doing that since new over 10000 miles ago. I think it is at the friction point of the clutch and goes away when you power through it. Slow speeds  are tough. I think, since things have not changed on mine that it is a characteristic of the drive.

I believe I've written about this in at least 15 threads on this forum, but probably never
in this section.

Yeah, it's the clutch.
Easy to fix, too.

Pull both brakes in, hard, open up the throttle (a lot), and slooowly let got of the
brakes, just enough so the bike will slowly start creeping forward. Let it go forward
a foot or two, stop, repeat 2-3 times.

Shuddering gone.
