Motorcycle Repair: 1999 road king twin cam, engine vibration, market thanks


Question
Hello Mike..I seem to have excessive front engine vibration. I want to change front motor mount donut. my service manuel doesnt explain how to do it. do i need to jack engine up from frame? also is there an improved mount maybe after market? THanks FRED

Answer
Before you change that make sure that is the problem. Check your play in the fork triple tree. You might have a bad bearing. Also, check your tires. run your hand around the front tire looking for bumps and waves in the tire. Look for exceissive wear in the tire.
If you dont find another problem then you can change the front motor mount. Yes, you will have to take the pressure off the motor mount by putting a jack under the motor.
Good luck and happy riding
Mike
