    Hi all,

    Has anyone had issues of varying amounts of vibration on the right side foot peg? I am pretty much sold that its the exhaust doing it, i have the Akrapovic on there and previously it was fitted using the metal flange though the large hole with the large washer, but it drove me nuts and i removed the pipe, even the OEM muffle had its moments. Replaced the fittings for the OEM rubber grommets both sides and the collar going through the middle as OEM, took it back out and it's changed and.....better, but not gone!

    Any had this problem and overcome it... Your help would be great as it messes up the riding a little.

    Cheers

    Heavy OEM pipes have been known to make vibes on bikes of all types and ages.. my brand new ypvs used to drive me nuts with it. Light weight pipes usually don't vibe so much, but also check motor mounts and chain tension innit :)
