solving crash bar vibration problems.

[mark ward]

Hey all Lately when I try to open a "pdf" file etc. a Blue page, "Windows media" opens, and I have not been able to open the files that are supossed to be there. It shows sports, music etc. But even when I right click, nothing shows how to use the page. As my sister (RIP) used to say, "Splane it to me, Talk to me like I'm a 5 year old." (OK My 8 yr old grand son most likely does already know's how. LOL) Mark (West Mich.) [Non-text portions of this message have been removed]

Right click on the link and a little menu should pop up by the cursor. Select the option that says something like (depending on your OS and browser) "download link as..." or "save target as..." etc..

It felt smoother overall including the bars, but primarily in the lower frame areas you mentioned. -Jeff Khoury ----- Original Message ----- From: "SniperOne" < sniperone308@... > To: "Jeff Khoury" < jeff@... >, "KLR List" < dsn_klr650@yahoogroups.com > Sent: Friday, June 22, 2012 10:26:20 AM Subject: RE: [DSN_KLR650] Solving crash bar vibration problems. Jeff, Did your fix also reduce the vibration at handlebar level, or just round the engine/guards/road peg area?

Good Morning, For those of us who have crash bars, you're probably familiar with the sometimes annoying, sometimes pronounced increase in vibration that comes with installing them on our beloved KLRs. I have the Givi bars, which have a pronounced harmonic vibration around 3,500RPM. It's terrible. It makes the whole bike shudder and 3,500RPM is a nice engine speed around town. In my reading I've found many suggestions on how to deal with this vibration, from "live with it" to fixes like filling them with silicone or lead shot. I've had them on there about 2 years and I've tried several things to reduce the vibes, with varying success. I've even attached weights at strategic points on the bars hoping to cancel the harmonics, but all I really succeeded in doing was changing the harmonic point and moving the vibes to a different range of engine speed. However, last night a solution came to me in a flash of inspiration and quite frankly I'm embarrassed that I didn't think of it before. Taking a bit of inspiration from the king of motorcycle vibration, Harley-Davidson, I decided to make a low-tech elastic vibration damper for them. The front of the bars actually replace the front motor mount, so the b [The entire original message is not included] [Non-text portions of this message have been removed] [Non-text portions of this message have been removed]
