Default Engine vibes coming through handlebars and seat

well a few months ago i made a psot liek this but in a dif way and people were being smart@$$es abou t it and it jsut seemed to go away then it started doing it again a few weeks ago... in a way it's like when your in 6th and at a low rpm and try to give it hell and your chain starts getting kind of gittery and offbalance and rattles alot.. it's liek that but a much more freequent vibration... i JUST tightened my mtor mounts...

Well i dunno. i will pull my Warrior out of the container and do some runs this weekend. but its a Vibrating obnoxious beast so i dunno if will catch you sympton. so you have ruled out a broken motor mount on the top? cuz those things are crap. I made cuztom ones outta 1/4" plate after i broke a few sets.

I have been scratching my head over this one too. My wife's KFX used to do it bad and my Raptor didn't. Now the situation has reversed. I haven't isolated it yet. I can't help but think it may be air pressure related.

The spindles come off of the front a-arms and are the equivalent "front axle".

Is it a vibration when its in neutral or just when its rolling? If its when its moving then it could be a number of things, but you have narrowed it down, and it may be caused by a misaligned tire. Man when my tires were not aligned right they would shake so bad. Also somthing simple like a loose rivet in the exhaust could cause alot of vibrations. check the bike over.
