Did you get the wheel and tire Dynamically balanced at the bike shop, if not , Do, check tire pressure , yes its possible and it might make a noise if installed backwards.
new tires make funny noises , but sounds like balance issue

i think the speedo drive has a little molded ridge on it which should slide into a slot on the fork leg, thus stopping the drive from spinning round the spindle. drop the front spindle out and align the drive correctly and then slide back the spindle and bolt it all up and you should be all good to go.

SOURCE: My 2006 Triumph America has a problem starting.

I have a friend that has a 2006 Triumph America and the same thing happened to him. Started running on one cylinder and then just refused to start. I did a check on everything and found that the CDI went bad. This is mounted under the fuel tank along the back bone and is about 3 inch square box.
They mounted them with a type of plastic rivet and would vibrated on the mount and cause something inside to break. When you replace it mount it solid and use a piece of rubber between the mounting plate and the CDI.

SOURCE: changing rear shocks

Surprising not to have a centre stand fitted to a tourer, however it can be supported on the frame rails beneath the motor if weight is distributed over a large area and balanced. A sturdy crate or stand is required and someone to help you. A moveable ramp or block and tackle for front wheel is easier to lift and keep steady.

Just purchased this car for my son. The rear end vibrates at speeds over 65 MPH but runs fine at lower speeds. Had tires rotated but they are more than 50% worn.

Again, if the vibration wasn't apparent before the tire rotation, look for a broken belt in the tires, bent rim or perhaps a wheel weight has gone AWOL.

How do I pull/replace rear wheel bearings on 1995 Mitsubishi Montero sport?

i assume you mean **** when you type *****,just say ****.this sounds like the rear tires may be out of blance or has a defect in the tire(s).a wheel bearing won`t cause a vibration unless the bearing is so bad its about to or is coming apart.a wheel bearing will make a noise like a humming or growling noise.have teh wheel balance check and the condition of the tires checked for belt separation or bulges.

Put new tires on front(dealership in march-rear in december) now the vehicle is vibrating @ high speeds- seems like the vibration is in the rearend mostly

You probably need to balance your tires? Hit any curbs lately, any large bumps? You can check this by doing either 50 mph or 70 mph. If the vibration is most notable at those speeds then your tires need to be balanced. If it is all the time then it could be a bent rim or a bad tire itself. Bent rims can be balanced out to a degree, but defective tires cannot.

2002 avalanche, 168,000 miles, vibration at 30 mph and 70 mph under load. Noticable at 30, very noticale at 70. about a 5 mph band at both speeds. Not noticable in remainder of speed band including over 70...

I'd guess you have a tire out of balance, it sets up a harmonic around 30 to 35 mph, and at twice that speed, or 70 mph. I suspect if you drove it at 120 to 140 mph, you'd find another one. Could also be a tire that has a belt that has failed.

How many miles on this set of tires, did you get a lifetime road balance on them? Hazard warranty? How soon before you need new tires. Need to take all of these into account, but need to correct the problem before you have a tire failure and a wreck.

Speedo only reads 1 & 2 mph

Common problem on Triumphs - the rotating magnet in the speed sender on the front axle gets broken. This typically happens after some front wheel service activity like tire replacement, due to improper re-fitment of the wheel.
The magnet is not available as a stand-alone replacement part unfortunately and the entire sender assembly must be replaced - not cheap, about $170 (sorry to be bearer of bad news)
