Unexplained vibration levels on r22 is cause to ground the machine until you know what the problem is. A senior pilot and instructor were killed in Australia from this very problem. Engineers had tried numerous times to balance the main rotor without disassembly, crack in retention bolt hole propagated and blade departed the machine.
