How To Check Front Motor Mount

[Twinkie07]

Like the title says.I was riding along and noticed a vibration after I hammered down on it.Felt almost like a flat spotted tire.But when I stopped the bike didnt idle a smooth as it should.Motor seemed to be moving more than normal.But it could just be me.
The front mount does look to be moving a bit.This is my first rubber mounted Harley.
How can I check it for too much movement.

That didnt help much on what I am looking to find out.
How do I check the mount for TOO MUCH play

The manual does not give any measurement for this, it only states to be sure the mounts support the weight of the engine, that said the Dyna is notorious for weak factory front and rear mounts The front mount gets destroyed if not using good oil filter changing practices

It is very difficult to diagnose a problem like your question remotely. As it's your 1st rubber mounted Harley, you may not be used to the exaggerated engine shake at idle, which is different than "vibration" underway. My 23 yr. old Dyna has the original mounts, but doesn't "shake" anymore than my 8 yr. old Electra Glide (which is considerable at idle). My suggestion is to find some other Dyna's when you're out and about, and talk to the owners, & observe/compare those engines to yours when running.

All good advice but if in doubt, just change it for peace of mind.

Not sure about the Predator but this is a very good front mount.

when my front motor mount went it sounded like the engine was slamming against something when I accelerated, if the bike was sitting idling I could give it gas and see it was moving much more than it had in the past, it was shot, I replaced it with a stock one

I bought the glide pro for my eg. Huge difference. No more motor shaking and no vibration in the handlebars at all. Would do it again
