Why does my Harley shake so much?

Why does my Harley shake so much?

The vibration of Harleys is mostly because of the V-Twin motors that power them. The smaller AoD allows for a more compact engine but increases the engine’s shaking forces. As a result, Harleys vibrate more than other motorcycle brands such as Ducati and Moto Guzzi, even though they use the same V-Twin engine.

What year did Harley stop making the Evo motor?

2000
It was made in the 1,340 cc (82 cu in) displacement for Harley-Davidson Big V-twins bikes, replacing the Shovelhead engine until 2000 when the last EVO was placed in a production factory custom FXR4 (FXR2 and FXR3 were the first CVOs).

Why do Harleys sound different?

The secret to the distinctive roar is simple. Engines make noise when the hot gas escapes the exhaust valve opening when a spark plug fires. With most bikes, one spark plug fires on one revolution of the crankshaft, and the other fires on the second, so the sound is smooth.

Can a Harley Davidson Evo make your feet vibrate?

Discussion in ‘ Engine, Fuel and Exhaust ‘ started by brt650, Jun 22, 2010 . I’ve read most posts on EVO vibration. But after checking the common concerns I can’t find anything that stands out.

Why does my Evo have so much vibration?

The concern I have is that vibration may be indicative of too much runout on your drive shaft/pinion gear. I am afraid the only way to check that is to gut the cam chest and then measure the runout on the shaft. Before doing that, you did have the new tire dynamically balanced, right?

Can a Harley Davidson engine reduce the vibration?

They eliminate the vibrations to almost nothing. This required a redesign of the entire engine case to facilitate this design so it was a problem for Harley or they wouldn’t have spent the money to redesign it to the newer style. I saw this product to reduce vibration a while ago but I do not have any personel experience with it.
