Default 2005 Yamaha Road Star 1700

I purchased a Yamaha Road Star 1700,, 2005 model with 70 miles on it,, black and white and white-wall tires,, beautiful bike.

The only thing I hate is the virbration. The dealership says it is normal for a big bike, but it vibrates. I added running lights to it and they keep vibrating loose. Have had to take them apart 3 times and add new washers and tighten the bolts.

Anyone else had any problems with these monsters.

Happy Motoring......

Nope, they just vibrate a bit. Loctite should help! I haven't lost a thing in 16 months on my 06.

You've got a nice cruiser under you! A bit moody, but a good ride!

Post a pic!
