But I agree that the driving habits has a great deal to so with it. I can't help driving it like I stole it everywhere I go. I love to gun it off the light and hit the speed limit in as short a time as possible. I like to hit the redline. I love to feel the power band from 4K to 8K RPM... I'm lucky to get 17MPG. I know.. I need to "grow up" and cut it out. But it's just so much fun. swoope 07-21-2006, 06:11 AM plugs, replace plugs... cat, replace cat with something hi flow.. no cleaning it. broken motor mount... would be my bet for vibration... see if you can find a product called b&g 44k. it is an engine / plug / valve / injector / carbon cleaner... it is about 20 bucks in the us for a can, but the stuff works... beers :beer: theboy 07-21-2006, 08:44 AM plugs, replace plugs... cat, replace cat with something hi flow.. no cleaning it. broken motor mount... would be my bet for vibration... see if you can find a product called b&g 44k. it is an engine / plug / valve / injector / carbon cleaner... it is about 20 bucks in the us for a can, but the stuff works... beers :beer: Bro can u give me the website of that b&g product? and more info for that product? swoope 07-22-2006, 08:06 AM http://www.bgprod.com/products/fuelair.html beers :beer: midlifer 07-22-2006, 09:44 PM Someone that carries it. http://www.autobahnpower.com/products.asp?recnumber=92&gclid=COD6x7zdpoYCFQhNGAodGhsZCQ Bob theboy 07-22-2006, 10:04 PM i am happy to have friends here that share and help each other out.
