Triton GLX-R 2011 - vibration issue

[merseybluenose]

Just went and looked at one to purchase secondhand and found it to be a little uncomfortable at 110km as it vibrates. I figure it has something to do with the 20" rims but wondered if anyone else found their triton to act similarly??

I have one and travel from Caloundra to Brisbane everyday and have no issues. GLX-R model, 2011 with factory alloy rims. Have done over 60,000 klms. Well thats my experience

More than likely wheel balancing issues, try knocking it out of gear at speed and see if the vibrations are still there.

I'd be thinking along the lines of cheap 20 inch rims and tyres giving you balancing problems. Check to see if there's a load of wheel weights prob only on the inside of the rim. It can be done to balance a wheel without weights on the outside but it's a bit of an art and not many places take the time to do it properly.

Also with big rims there ain't much sidewall to absorb impact so even a small pothole can damage a cheaper low quality rim quite easily - almost impossible to see and harder to fix.

Yeah will be the rims/tyres for sure,

no vibration issues noted by owners and i run a Mitsy Service department

I got a 2009 model with 170000k and never had that problem.
