    New owner. Just wondering if it's normal for this bike to vibrate. The old owner has huge rear sprocket on it. If I put original sprockets back on will this stop the vibration? The bike is almost unrideable. It bike only has 150 miles on it.

    Thanks

    I have a 07 TE450 and while it's buzzy, I wouldn't call it unrideable. If you are riding it on pavement with low gearing, the over-rev could be uncomfortable, but if you gear it stock (14/50) and it still feels bad at highway speed, I'd check motor mounts and other sources of vibration. I know the bike vibrates at idle enough that you can't leave the bike unattended or it will walk down the driveway backwards by itself!:p

    Not enough information just to say "it vibrate":excuseme:

    If it vibrates at high RPM then I would agree with DD.:thumbsup:
    If you're talking about Hwy.Vib. then I would check and see if the wheels have been balanced. Most likely not.:D
    I added 4oz to the rear and 2.5oz to the front opposite the rimlocks.

    Check the motor mounts, I've seen/heard of a few 07 bikes with loose motor mounts.

    I just added dynabeads to the tubes, I think they have helped with tire balance. added 2oz front and 3 oz rear.

    Checking mounts as we speak. At a standstill, when I rev engine, I can feel it in my hands, feet, and inner thighs (nuts). One more item. Bike has been lowered, front and rear, by previous owner. Could that have anything to do with it? Thanks again.

    Took the rear sprocket (58 tooth) off and put the original (50) back on. Took the front sprocket (12) off and put the original (13) back on. Problem solved. What a difference. Why would the original owner do that? Thanks for all your help.

    Holy climbing walls Batman! 12/58! That's crazy, crazy low. The previous owner needs a trials bike.

    Ditto! Did you have to shorten the chain length for the return to stock?

    He put on a new chain. Original was in the box. Fit like a glove.

    as stated, make sure everything is tight,, and balance your wheels. Check your tires for cupping if it has has alot of road use.

    Wow, that would have been worth having a go on - what sort of riding did he do? Wheelies only? Check your headset bearings :) Top speed of 60kmh at 7000rpm? :)

    You went from 4.83:1 to 3.81:1 (or a freaking huge changing in ratios)
