I´ve owned my 04 Marauder since May 04 and have enjoyed it for the most part. It´s a real brute. I´m not sure I like the shaft drive but love the power and brakes!

I have been experiencing a problem no dealer in the area has been able to resolve. It may be two individual problems. First, when I´m riding and lean left or right ever so slightly (doing 25-40 mph, there is a mild vibration, best described as a drone felt through the handlebars. I would think it may be a bearing but have had them checked. The dealer seems to think it´s the tire but the occurrence isn´t regular enough to make me think that´s what it is. The other problem occurrs at low rpm (1500-2000)in 3-5 gear, there is a vibration that resonates through the bike that makes it uncomfortable to ride. So I usually down shift to reduce the vibration. The dealer tells me I´m lugging the engine but the owners manual states it´s within the shift range of the bike.

Any thoughts has to what my problems may stem from?
