Mine is very smooth, especially with the J. Costa. I'm sure Scott at Crown will let you try another. Last time we were there they had 2 in the showroom.

Derek,

Do you know of anyone else in your city (maybe your dealer can refer you to someone) who has a Silverwing who could take yours for a quick ride and see if it feels, sounds, and acts the same as theirs? I've ridden two Silverwings and they both felt identical and the same in the way they feel, sound, and ride so if one had a vibration or something that was wrong, I probably would have felt it. This would be a good way to get the opinion of someone who has a good frame of reference. Good luck and enjoy your Silverwing!

Derek next time we ride together we can trade bikes for a mile or two and then you will know . My buddy had a vibration like that and it was his garage door opener in the rt compartment .Another one had loose plastic over the rad .It is amazing,what these things can cause .

Likewise if you're up in the neighbourhood by the dealer I am 2 blocks away. I can certainly take yours for a quick spin. You can see how smooth mine is.

Just purchased a 08 Silverwing with 10k miles. Runs great, however has a serious vibration starting at about 4000 RPM and thru 5000 RPM, can be felt on the floorboard, in the hand grips and seen in the mirrors. Having owned an 02 and 05, never remember anything like this. My friend has a 09 and he has the same problem. I am thinking possible trans or bearing problem in the trans. Steve

Hi racer, I also have a 2008, I was just wonding if this vibration only happens when the scooter is cold.

The vibration is there hot or cold.

It almost sounds like a tire balance problem.

It is not a tire balance problem, when you are on the throttle and going thru 40 to 50 mph with a load on the engine is when the vibration occurs, let go of the throttle and the vibration stops.

Try cleaning your variator rollers. They can get really gunked up with rubber from the belt.

I will give that a try. Thanks for the tip.

One more thing you might check is the belt. Check it for wear

buying a 2004 silver wing with 1300 miles, has a bad vibration on take off and when riding everything shacks . Very weak acceleration don't know whats wrong with it also rear wheel spins at 20 mph when idling on center stand . didn't buy yet deciding if its going to be an expensive fix . does anybody have any advice thank you mike

Almost sounds like the variator bolt is lose.

For what It's worth I also have some slight vibration in the front plastic on
My 2007 with 1100 miles so far . Only really noticable at idle.
I guess it's just something you get used to
