question... i have always owned 2 strokes, and i know how they sound and run. i know they vibrate alot. just want to know if what i hear is normal. when you give it gas, just alittle, probably about 1/4 throttle, it vibrates alot. it has like a metal vibrating sound to it, but it is fine as soon as you get on it more. i especially noticed it alot the other night when my girlfriend was driving, because she kinda babies it alot. has anyone else expirienced this vibration. its almost like a tin can sort of sound. well, in the spring i'll be putting a pipe on anyhow. i think that will change the cheezy sound of the stock pipe. its not bad, but i like to hear a nice crisp sound. i am guessing it just the vibration of the pipe at a certain r.p.m.

Big Devil,
Guessing at the pipe/engine at a certain rpm is a good start. I remember right after I got mine till it was broke in fully there was a certain point in the lower rpm that it did have a strange sound. I'm not saying this is it, but mine sounded weird at first too.
c-ya,
