are the z motors vibrators? mine seems a little bad? but maybe it is me.i have been on banshees mostly.twins are balanced better by design. i have ridden some bikes with the counter balance off and you cant hold on to the bars in the powerband.mine is nothin like that.but it is noticeable. i think when i rode tim sr, quad-z it seemed to vibrate a bit too.am i worried about nothin? or should i pull the crank and have it trued and welded? i had the crank and rod done when i did the motor and i know the z motor has no balancer.when you rev this thing up though,the footpegs shiver somewhat. it runs great.i just dont want to hurt the motor if it is abnormal.any input guys?thanks.tim,maybe i can stop by one day and do a comparison? if that would be okay?

Typical Tri-Z. Mine is exactly the same. I check all the bolts on the bike regularly now, after having many vibrate loose. It's not too noticeable once your riding it for awhile, but if you jump back and forth it'll drive you bonkers.

Loctite is also your friend if you own a Z.
