Today for the first time my bike started backfiring on deceleration...these were not the usual rumbling or small pops I normally heard when coming down a mountain road but rather loud backfires..It did it both in 3rd and 4th gear at about 4000rpm decelerating to 3000 rpm..I thought it might be due to altitude but it did it at lower elevations also... I did the needle modification to lean out the bike, could that be causing it? All else is good..starts and runs fine..alls good except the backfiring..

I have an '88 Venture Made in '87 with 35K miles. Not a Royal I am getting a strong vibration at 3,000 to 4,000 rpm, strongest at 3,500. I get this vibration in all gears including neutral with the bike not moving. It does not mater if I am accelerating hard, steady speed or decelerating. It is strictly engine rpm dependent. Above or below that rpm and it is nice and smooth. Any ideas of where to start looking?

I am new to this "Post New Thread" thing but for better or worse, here goes. I have just picked up a first generation (88 DUC) with almost 37 K. Runs absolutely perfect in all respect except one. The whinning when decelerating is not really too annoying. It is just that it makes one wonder what could be going on. I also have an 83 TC with almost 50K on it and it has not unusual noises when decelerating. The 88 seems to have the same level and type noise regardless of which gear the bike is in. I have been reading through some of the posted topic and I am totally convinced that most of you have far more expertise concerning the VR's that I. So, any thoughts and/or recommendations would be greatly appreciated. One procedure I will soon be performing is the drive shaft maintenance posted here. Looking forward to anyone's reply.
