took car to dealer today to try to get vibration resolved.
They found that
1) the front suspension bushings were worn. There is a front suspension upgrade kit for early 94 ng900s. This is supposed to fix klunking problems, but could help the vibrations also.
2) front shocks leaking fluid.... not too supriseing at 105Kmi.
3) excess play found where drive shaft goes into trans. New/rebuilt drive shafts won't fix it. Rebuilt trans won't fix it. Needs new transmission!!! The looseness is internal to the trans. This is a US$2800 part.
The primary cause of vibration is deemed to be the trans not the shocks or bushings.
