vibrations in handlebars
Does anybody have a noticeably increase in vibrations through their handlebars in the lower revs (2000-4000 RPM) going through 1st and 2nd gear?
I haven't noticed it in any other gear or higher RPM. Thanks, Nick

Re: vibrations in handlebars
Has it just started or has it always been there?
All bikes have different resonant frequencies and the FZ6 is no exception.

Re: vibrations in handlebars
It's always been there. I just wanted to see if anybody else has had the same issue/qwirk with their bike.

Re: vibrations in handlebars
I just picked up my 2007 FZ6, and after riding at highway speed for 45 minutes (with sufficiently padded gloves), my hands were quite numb. My feet were also a little numb from the vibration, but less noticably.

Re: vibrations in handlebars
you may want to try some different bar ends. Heavy barends will help with vibrations in the handlebars.
