Default SN95 VERT Weight Removal

This is to all SN95 Verts. In your passenger inner fenderwell is a 25# weight that can be removed! I'm doing it this weekend!

It is there for vibration dampening, mine has been off for a while now and I have noticed no difference from 10 to 100 mph or any speed in between.[/align]

its impossible to dampen a vibration past the spot creating it. thats what harmonic balancers and weighted flywheels are for.

Will do! I have heard from 4 other vert owners that have removed it and they did not notice a difference.
