I have a cyclical vibration that I get at lower speeds on my 1200 Sport.
I can feel a rumble in the pegs that sort of cycles on and off in a consistent manner.
It doesn't seem to matter what gear I'm in.
By lower speeds I'm talking about around 40 and below; once I get above that I don't feel it but that doesn't mean it goes away, it could just be that the cyclical nature of the vibes start to blend at higher speeds and get lost in the background.
Sometimes this is quite pronounced and bothersome.
I have about 15000 miles on the bike but it's been doing this for probably the last 7000 or so, at least that I've noticed.
I'm good at ignoring it when I get up into the speeds where I don't feel it anymore.
Could this be normal? What sort of testing, aside from disassembly of the entire drivetrain, can I perform to try to narrow down the problem?
If it's a real issue it would have to be in the transmission, driveshaft or CARC; that doesn't narrow it down to anything inexpensive at first glance.
