Hi there. Hello from England. I do hope you can help me. My wife Sarah has a
1986 Voyager 1200 in trike form. Unfortunately we have a problem and
although I used to own a motorcycle shop for 20 years im afraid im a little
unsure on this one. The bike starts and runs great but vibrates like hell
in 3rd 4th 5th and 6th gears. If i take off the 'star' shaped cover off the
front final drive box and turn the large nut a few revolutions the problem
subsides and it doesn't vibrate as much but then after a few miles it
returns to vibrate mode! Can you shed any light on the problem. Do we need
to buy a replacement front final drive unit? Any help would be good. Many
thanks.
Hello everyone! As of today, we have 90 registered! That's going to be a great turn out!
Just a reminder that rally registration closes on May 9 so that we can place our t-shirt order for the rally.
If you are coming, but have not sent in your registration, do it TODAY or TOMORROW!
After that, we will not accept any orders for t-shirts. We order a few extra of the most common sizes for the rally. You can only get what is available.
Have you all made your hotel reservations? If not, do it NOW! If our blocked rooms are full at Laquinta Inn, you'll have to find other lodging.
See you all soon!

Re: Vibration
Is that cover right above the engine oil sight glass ? If so and that nut is loose. STOP take the key out and put it in you sock or underwear drawer. Your done riding. Until you get this issue repaired , that nut retains the pinion gear and will just tear that gearbox up and also contaminate the engine with metal....
