First Ride Down the Steeet
First Ride Down the Steeet
After picking up our CRF 250 2 1/2 weeks ago and the 500 donor 4 days later, we went for the first ride with the AF 500. Wow what a rush, after riding 4 strokes since 02 this feels like a bullet. Just a question, why do they vibrate so much when sitting? Can't wait to go riding. Pics will be up a soon as my son teaches me the procedure. Special Thanks to Aliso Bob and this site for making it sooo easy.

That's one big piston flying around in there. They all vibe...all the time.
I had STR balance my crank. It shakes at idle....doesn't feel bad on the bike.
The important factor is killing the vibes at ride RPMs.
I can see cars in the distance through my mirrors, so I think mine is tame compared to what others complain about.
Even though 99% of the people say that crank balancing doesn't help (and don't recommend it), I'm glad I had mine done.
