Vibration at low-speed, SH300

Post by cliverlong »

Hello

(question cross-posted in other forum)

I have recently bought a fifth-hand Honda SH300, first registered 2008, that has done about 25,000 miles. The bike runs fine, acceleration good, except at low speed (0 to 10 miles per hour), there is a fair amount of vibration felt in the whole bike. Above 15mph I feel only a slight “buzzing” from the bike. Is this vibration from pulling away normal for a scooter or could some bearing or belt in the CVT be starting to wear or something else needs replacing?

Thanks

Clive

Sounds like the drive belt may need replacing as well as a good clean of the driving/driven faces. If the drive belt has already been replaced, it still sounds like a good clean of the faces is required.

My bet is on the 3 clutch shoes and the clutch housing bell, as others mentioned you need to open the CVT and inspect everything, then you will know for sure....

Ride the thing like you stole it until it won't go and then fix it.
