i have a 2009 apex ltx 136 and it vibrates 60 and above
this has been going on for 2 years
i can feel it in my feet and handle bars
changed belt 3 times
since this vibration i took it to ---------- yamaha and they tried a bunch of stuff and suggested a few things
so i changed drivers/track to a ice attak /secondary jackshaft bearing/driveshaft bearing/all wheels/looked at all wheels for contact at lugs
ran tight track/loose track/changed both primary and secondary clutches with my other apex 121 /chain case all looked good when apart/
added 4th wheel kit/new dupont hyfax/pulled limiter up 2 holes
no changes still vibrats the same
(by the way i have 7 apexes and this one handles and runs the best of all them but i cant ride it vibrating like it does )
thanks for any help or ideas

Maybe check the runout on your driveshaft and jackshaft. sounds like you have tried all the obvious things.

Check the brake disc fit for wear on the jackshaft. My 08 was worn considerably and caused this type of vibration. The jackshaft needed to be replaced. I started greasing this fit with tacky grease to prevent wear, seemed to work. Sled had high mileage though 30+k
