Started to get a vibration today at 60mph. Bike accelerates great and pretty smooth. But got on the throttle heavy at 60 mph in 5th gear and it felt like an off-balance tire or an engine vibration. I have been thinking that I need to get the carbs synced, so I immediately thought that maybe one cylinder was getting fuel starved at high demand, but it did not do this high rpm in lower gears. Carbs out of sync? Just need a good cleaning? I was at WallyWorld so got a can of SeaFoam and put half of it in with full tank. I'll give that a try first. I also checked to make sure all plug wires were on. My other thought is, as I have read here before, that getting on the throttle hard in 5th gear at 60mph is just not gonna get it done. No torque. Am I on track or missing something? Bike is 2007 RSV, 12,000 miles, fresh oil change with Mobil 1 MC 10W40, rear end fluid changed at 10,000 miles.
