I've had my M50 since new, 05 bought and assembled in 06. All maintenance has been performed by certified mechanics. I currently have roughly 24,000 miles on the bike. I have had the bike up to an indicated 117 (More like 105-107 maybe) several times just for fun on secure, familiar roads. It was of course way up there in the rpm's and I could feel that in the vibration. However..... I had the latest valve check/adjustment at around 21-22K I believe, whatever it was I have ridden many times since. Here lately though I would bring it up to speed and the vibrations and the rpms felt at around 90-95 (indicated) as it did back when I was running at 115ish (indicated). In other words it feels like the bike is being overly stressed at high rpm, more-so than what I was accustomed to. I'm not overly reckless and I wear full gear and getting up to that speed is a seldom occurrence for me. I was just curious as I had noticed this a couple times and I thought I would ask seeing as how there are many more mechanically inclined individuals than myself on this site. |
