dennish is on a distinguished road
That brings up an interesing point, (at least to me) I felt the same thing happen when I bought my new, at the time 1999 EG, everytime I shifted into 5th gear I felt my head vibrate, enough to blur my vision. No other gear but 5th and at any RPM, I keep the RPMs at 2500 minimum. The dealer didn't know what I was talking about. So I finally figured right or wrong that it was the helmet since I grew up in a non helmet state but now live in a helmet state and am just not used to wearing one. It seems as soon as I cross over into Idaho and take off the helmet the issue goes away. I bought an '07 SG (which I cannot believe how much nicer it is than my '99 EG and I loved the EG) on the way home from the dealer I shifted into 6th and bam the blurred vision was back. All this time I thought it was me.
