Pre-amble.
I have 200 miles under my belt with a K-series bike - so wet behind the ears doesn't even come close to describing my experience level with this bike.
I bought an 87 RS just before Christmas - nice looking, but needing some TLC.
I put the bike back together yesterday and rode for 100+ miles or so. I have a harmonic vibration (Buzz) at about 3,500rpm, any gear - too fast for tires (I think) and the feeling is consistent, regardless of speed.
I did lube the clutch splines - is there a balance point with the drive shaft? I just pushed the drive shaft back on to the click, is this a balanced system, I didn't see any marking.
Is this just throttle bodies out of sink a little or
is this just a normal bike?
My normal ride is a single cylinder which makes balancing the carbs or throttle bodies a little easier.
Cheers, M
