Default Vibration

Just wondering if other 8 owners have experienced a bit of vibration at the higher speeds. At about 190mph today, I felt a little vibration in the pedals.

I?m going to do a prop balance just to eliminate that.

Do others experience vibration at the higher speeds?

Thanks,


Don

Does it change when you hold your brakes? Could be tires spinning. Maybe not but possible. Nose gear too....if you have a trike
