Hey guys,
I just bought a used 2010 C5 a couple of weeks ago. It had about 3000 miles on it when I bought it, and I've only put about 75 miles on it so far. The bike is in great condition (at least aesthetically), so I'd guess that the previous owner was careful about running it in properly, but I have no way of knowing for sure.
Last night, I took it on the highway for the first time and took it up to 60 mph. The handlebars were vibrating a lot at that speed (to the point that it was uncomfortable to ride, and I exited off the highway after a few mins). I've read up on a bunch of forums on comfortable cruising speeds with the UCE engines, and it seems that most people say the C5 should be pretty good at 60-65 mph after it's been run in.
Any suggestions as to what I should start with to try and reduce vibration at highway speeds?
One other thing to mention -- I had to get the sprag clutch replaced. I noticed that the mechanic put 10w40 (motorcycle) oil in after replacing the sprag clutch, but the manual says to use 15w50. Is this a concern at all?
Thanks in advance for any help.
