ok all of those are great things fo rme to check awesome, ya i jst got on headed to work and went to do a hard pull to pass someone and notice a vibration mostly above 3,500, seemed to always pull smooth before, chain and sprocket are in decent shape resonable slack not to much sprocket seems good. are the motor mounts rubber? and the rubbers under the tank are good, just hit 35,000 miles on her today

The engine is a stressed part of the frame, thus there is no rubber at all between the motor and the frame. It's all metal to metal, thus the importance of proper torque of the mounts. I believe they must be torqued in a certain order as well. And a special castellated socket is required for at least one of them.

No, that's not what I'm saying. I'm just putting additional info out there, building on what the other guys were saying, and answering your question about rubber motor mounts.
What's the answer to the question in Post #9?

Does sometimes spit or cough after riding then coming to.a light and twisting the throttke a bit it will cough.sometimes a little hiccup while cruising.I have a new air filter coming should I do the plugs? If so what's the best plug to tun and the gap I should gap it at? And for the wires I havnt really inspected them .
