Hi, recently bought an xvs1100 Dragstar and really like it but one thing I find strange is it is a very smooth engine until I hit 70mph and then it feels like a bag of nails and vibrates a lot! On a 1100cc bike this surprises me as I would have thought that at that speed it would be humming along, is this right??

Just a quick hi! Had a number of Yamahas over the last 43 years in fact my very first bike was a two stroke Yammy 80 in 1976.....fun times. Recently bought a xvs1100 and loving it.
