I'm trying to figure out if I am trying to fix something that just can't get any better on my 04. Currently at 6k rpms and up I am getting what I would consider unreasonably high levels or handlebar and seat vibes (I can live with the seat vibs). At 9k the stock mirrors are useless since they are shaking so much. Gets worse as you go to redline. Cruising at 70-80mph will make my hands go numb after 15-20min. This has been the only bike I've owned so I can't compare to anything else. Don't have any local friends that ride to try their bike. Only thing to note is an out of town friend with an 07 fz6 said he didn't notice and excess vibs, but I don't know how aggressive he rode it.
I have changed plugs, new air filter, new oil, ran freering in 2 tanks of gas, 5° trigger wheel mod, +1 on front sprocket (I think, which ever makes the gears taller), checked the plug wires, synced TBs at idle and 6k rpms, added grip puppies and weighted bar ends. The only thing I have not done yet is check valve gap. The bike has 42k miles on it, I've only put 5k of those on it, but is running great (besides the vibs). No history to know if it has ever been done. This is the only issue I have with the bike so I'm really hoping to fix it.
