Street 750 Engine Vibration

where are you located, I wonder if it might be more likely to happen with bikes in a specific nation over another.

I'm in the United States, Omaha Nebraska. From what I understand this bike would have been built in Kansas City Missouri.

I've heard some charges that the Street isn't so comfortable, this seems to just add to that notion. Do you find that the Street is uncomfortable because of this engine vibration and other things like the comfort of the seat?

I had my 750 out last weekend at those speeds and did not notice anything. I will be on the highway this weekend and will now be sensitized to it.

Testiphony, in answer to your question vibration is my only issue. Other than the higher speed vibration (60+ mph) I found the bike comfortable (seat included).

PatLav, where are you located? Just curious if your bike would have been manufactured at the same facility that made this one.

Austin Texas

Thanks PatLav. I'd say they were both made in Kansas City. I'm a little more suspicious of this bike, since you aren't feeling it.

ITS A V TWIN!!!!!

Expect a bit of buzz...

Is anyone else feeling some engine vibration with the 750 when exceeding 60 mph? The vibration is felt in the feet and knees (at the tank). I didn't feel it when driving the 500, but it is definitely there with the 750. Anyone else experiencing it too?

+1. That. Harley's vibrate even at stop lights. The liquid cooled bikes vibrate a little less. Welcome to Harley bikes! And there are pegs you can get to dampen the vibration but it still will be there.

Thanks for that. Glad to hear that the whole bike isn't uncomfortable. I guess that means the vibration is only bad on the highway. Luckily, I plan on mostly urban driving instead of highway driving.

I've noticed no vibration except when I'm not in the proper gear and running too close to the rev limiter. My boots are pretty thick soled however so that might be doing it. I haven't gone much faster than 65mph however.

I do wish the engine was a 'bit' louder. I can't hear it over wind noise at 65mph, or over my friend's bikes.

yup, v-twin = nuff said.

There must be something wrong with the bike I test drove. The salesman and service manager drove it and said the vibration of that magnitude should not be there. They are now contacting Harley technical support. I passed on the purchase of it.

So it might be more of a one off thing instead of a problem that is happening with all of the Streets?

I went for a 120 mile ride today with 3 friends on much bigger Harleys. I was able to keep up just fine. I did not have any vibration issues.

Did they not have another 750 in stock for comparisons sake?

Well You could get yourself a used big single with buck horn handle bars and feel a lot less vibration at 60 mph. I should know, I own one. My 750 makes my right hand somewhat numb but I'm 55 years old and work in Maintenance and turning wrenches is starting to take a toll on my carpal tunnel nerves. Some day Kuryakyn will make ISO grips for the Streets...Are you listening Kuryakyn?
