Hi, any advice pinpointing the cause.
My 05 GS (45K miles) has developed an orrible vibration al of a sudden. its not the front wheel bearing.
I took it for a little spin today and killed the engine. its still their. It has a tendency to feel as though their is some drag from the rear end and the vibration can be felt through your feet. (footpegs).
I was only going a few mph and weaving a little and oddly its more pronounced when the bike is leaning left? I thought it might be wheel bearing but their sound. no noic, not bad feel or movement in the wheel.
Any ideas?
Our BMW dealer doesnt have a great Rep so im loath to take it along with a blank cheque and my biking buddy is very mechanically minded so stripping bits and replacing swinging arm or drive shaft bearing ist beyond us, but I dont want to go on a mystery trip if the cause is well known and can be pinpointed
any and all advice appreciated
