06 zx10r risers
What are some of the riser options available for the 06 10R? I've contacted Heli and every month they keep saying that bars will be available at the end of the month. Looking for any suggestions to get rid of the vibration in the bars. Already tried the shot in the bars, this did not make much of a difference. Put heavier weights on and the vibration seems to have smoothed out some. Is it normal on these bikes to have hand numbing vibration? Tightend the motor mounts, still no difference. Has anyone experienced vibration caused from throttle body sync being off on the zx10r?

Just so u will know that I know what im talking about ........ I currently own a ZX10r 06 with 5k and a CBR1000RR 06 with 700 miles. My last 4 bikes were 02 R1, 04 GSXR750, 00 R1, and a 98 CBR900RR
Regarding vibration ....the ZX10R is the Least amount of vibration out of the current 4 liter bikes. If u run the others back to back you will find the new injectors on the ZX10 are a Fine Mist so its smooth as silk. With that being said ..... vibration is not a problem for me and im 44.
Regard Clip On .... here's the quick fix that will make a World of a Difference !! Underneath the Triple Tree you will find a Casted Piece which acts as a Nuts for the Clip Ons. The Clip On Bolts up to this casted piece. The Triple Tree Piece is 3/8 of an inch Deep. I cut mine down 1/4 inch which still allowed well over a 1/8 inch of thread for the Clip Ons. See .... that moves the ClipOn UP 1/4 inch and in the world of ClipOns that's Huge. Next, I swapped out the Factory Bolts which have a Wide Section. I am now using Standard Bolts so that gave me another 1/8 inch movement forward ....... which amounts to about a 3/4 inch at the ends of the Bars. That completely changed my zx10r feel. I now have much much more leverage on the bars along with sitting more upright. The bars are No Longer leaning way back so my control during wheelies is Night and Day.
Next .... I also had two small brackets made for my Rear Sets which moved them down 1 inch and back 1/4 inch. The never hit but then again Im not scraping my knees.
That totally transformed my ZX10R into a very very comfy ride with great leverage for 100 mph wheelies for $50 bucks.
There is no comparison to the stock setup. The first thing you will notice is your grip will be wider on the bars so you will have a lot more leverage. Next when you notice you sitting far more up right kind of like my cbr1000rr 06. Finally, you will notice your legs wont need the first 15 min to get used to the tight position. When you sit on the bike if feels far more relaxed.
Im 44 with a back injury from wheeling in my youth but I can ride my zx10r 06 for a full 8 hour day.

I installed these on top of the top clamp on my 14,
I had to loer the forks, so they portruded enough , and lowered the rear with adjustable links the same amount, so that the geometry stayed stock...
I'm not a knee dragger, more drag race and distance riding, so all mods worked in my favour
LSL also has these
Depending on how much change you want, you could use either set above or below the top clamp....
Not a direct bolt on but can be made to work...
Spiegler Usa... check em out!

Thanks for the reply on the clip on fix. I will give that a try as soon as possible. I also like to ride all day long without needing at chiropractor at then end of the run.
Now back to the vibration. I'm 44 also, been thru CBR 900's, 2001 R1 and 2003 GSXR1000 and still have not experienced vibration in the bars like the 2006 ZX10R. I bought the bike with 900 miles on it. It has a full Akropovic evo exhaust, power commander and has been dynoed and mapped. The left side exhaust mounting bracket seems to be slightly loose, is it possible that this could be causing the bars to vibrate like a tuning fork. I've had the bike to dealers and they don't seem interested in resolving the issue. Any ideas would be appreciated.

Good to see us old guys are still around riding the best of the best.
The vibration thing is kind of odd .... what RPM are you at when running at 50 MPH ?? Very very important ... you should be 5K at 50 MPH. If you Higher then Your Geared Down so it will buzz through the bike because your running at a Higher RPM all of the time. If that is true then just return it back to the stock Gearing and you will be shocked by how smooth and powerfull the bone stock gearing is. Mine power wheelies (bone stock) at 50 -105 every time all day long and thats is only first and second gears.
Anyway if that is Not the case ......Im glad to say that mine has almost No Vibration. So unfortunatly I have nothing else to add accept the knowledge that it can be fixed given I do Not have this problem.
However, my CBR1000RR 06 is geared low from the factory and its a buzz saw needing to be shifted all of the time. It vibrates through the bars and puts my hands to sleep within 2 hours every time. Also .... it cant touch my ZX10R none of the @#$ mags give the facts on the comparisons. The CBR runs at 5K on the tach at 35 MPH .... sucks compared to the ZX10. The CBR plastic is cheaper, breaks better, power is better than R1 but cant touch ZX10R ...... but the seating position is GREAT !! Its kind of like a 750 to the ZX10R smaller, lighter, easier to turn but the ZX10 fits me like a glove so Im one with the bike with super powers

I was going to ask, is it speed or rpm related.
I devevloped a flat spot on my frt tire, and it would vibrate like a mother, tire slap around 160k, and would only get worse.
Changed the tire. Good.
I was doing rolling burnouts, grab frt brke at highway speeds in 2nd, and whiskey grip it, but one time the frt locked up, and the rear pushed it about 80 ft, hazed the frt, and after that the tire was fubard

Flat spot in Front Tires are 90% of the time from Landing Fast Wheelies. 10% of the time is from Stoppies gone bad .... but by then you have trashed the bike
Vibration from gearing will be RPM related. The Higher RPM from Low Geared bikes transfers the vibration up through the bike at a higher rate/level then expected by the factory.

I was experiencing the vibrations prior to dropping a tooth in the front. The vibrations do cease once I pull the clutch in. I'm going to remove the rear seat cowl and tighten up my left exhaust in order to see if the vibrations go away. The bike has been to two shops and both of them are claiming that the vibration in the bars is normal. I thought the zx10r had counter balancers and would be as smooth as my 03 GSXr1000.

Sounds like you must have something going on because I have 5K on mine and your correct .... its smother than my R1's, GSXR, and my new CBR. It's like silk.
FYI ... I had my bike down to one of the shops i deal with and the front end was out of alignment from the factory. This is not to uncommon and takes 20 min to fix. The clowns told me it was the nature of the new ZX10. Pretty funny but given there lack of knowledge I though it would be best to drop by one of the other shops i deal with. They walked up to the front stood it up the lined up the tire by sight and said ... shit another one out of alignment. Droped it off next day and now life is perfect.

yup the front will come out from under ya real quick if it pushes at 60 mph, as mine did ...
my bad and i knew it as soon as it happened, same ride it had a new vibration up front...
skiided a flat spot into it...
My bad but my SAVE... never dumped it, let off the frt brake instantly, and stayed on the gas,
one head swap, and massive counter steer...
MOTO-X SKILLS AND SOME LUCK.....
