Vibrations??
Ok maybe its me but im not new to bikes been riding them for 20 years but this is my first liter bike in sometime.....ya ya I know blah blah :0 I am getting alot of vibrations in the handle bars so much that my hands go numb pretty quickly. It really vibrates when im above 4k rpm's, I cant even see out the mirrors they are shaking so bad...ya like you can anyway. The bike has a little over 1000 miles now and it seems to be getting worse but the dealership says there isnt anything wrong, ya like I havent heard that one before. Any ideas??? I thought it could be the stem bolt or even loose bar ends but the bar ends are tight and the stem bolt seems to be tight also?? Hey thanks for any ideas or help on this one. Love the bike man is it fast, gotta love it

I am getting a bit of bar vibration also. I am going to have to change my tires (probably tonight) and at the same time I will adjust the steering head bearings. Also you need to check the motor bolt torque, loose mounts make vibration. I have been constantly checking the motor bolts and they did come a bit loose.

Found the vibrations.......its in the air intake, it was vibrating against the intake fairing, put some foam tape around the intake and put the fairing back on and what do you know, absolutely no more vibrations....I knew I would find it..... Love the bike got about 2300 miles on it now with a hyperpro damper and man that thing screams......!!!!
