Use the search function for the local rags, look for slim blonds between the ages of 25 - 40 looking for thrills, you'll have a lot more fun

A silly question... but have you checked your chain + sproket?

You didn't mention if the vibs were at low revs or not, but some Capos run a bit rough (i.e. a hesitation) between 2-3000 RPM and there seems to be additional back-lash in some of the drive parts. The hesitation can be helped by remapping or by fitting Iridium sparkplugs. Also it is a big v-twin, so some of the engine’s "characteristics" are more noticeable than say an in-line four, but it never usually a problem at normal cruising speeds.

thanks guys , i do know about the v-twin and inline fours , its just the monster aint as smooth as it was , if it's low down you can hear a rattle from the lower end of the engine. milage is 12'000 and somtime its a bit snatchie , when changing gears , ie giving throttle . i just want it to run as smooth as it was when i first got it .

Sounds like your drive chain has too much free play, or is worn out. Check the lower chain guide/roller also. My original roller was short lived, and the replacement part for later model Capos is completely different and should last much longer.

Good luck,

Apart from chain, etc as others mentioned, check spark plug connectors are fully clicked on the plugs. The internal connector can slip back inside misleading you believe the connector is on when it isn't. If you wiggle the top of the connector it should be stiff, not err... wiggly. Also, check the battery and charging circuit & do the solder mods if necessary. The regulator doesn't put out a lot of volts at low revs and if the battery is a low you can get stumbling. Your noises may be down to loose exhaust manifold nuts, so check for tightness. 'Course, the noises might be only in your head, if you are getting voices along with the noises, this might not be the right forum for a fix.

ok guys cheers for the info , ill keep you posted on to problem, and thanks tommygun let me know if the new chain and sprocket makes a diffrance . ok i cana speeeeelllllllll spell .lol.
