Vibration issue

[vinz]

Hi fazerians...recently got myself a fz6s2 and encounter vibration while traveling at around 105-120 km/h...numbing my hand at the throttle grip, front suspension also seem to be an issue, too soft I could say...any bros to advice??

I noticed some vibration as well when I first got the bike a couple weeks ago. I've basically accepted it and don't really notice it anymore. Front suspension is soft for me too. This winter I may upgrade to racetech springs and emulators.

Sync your throttle boddies.
Check the rubber mounts (various parts of the bike) for cracks.
Get heavier bar ends.
Work on a light grip.
Live with it --it's a buzzy bike.

Suspension: replace fork fluid, see if that helps.
If it doesn't improve to your liking, get custom springs, given your weight and riding style.
Or, go with an r6 fork mod.

Thks buddies for the advice!! Would it be related to the steering cone or wheel bearing etc... Had been great riding this bike, jus small wear n tear issue since it a 5yrs old machine

Thks dude... Will go for forlorn fluid change or spring change...r6 fork think would be expensive

if it's the steering head bearing you should feel some notchiness when you turn the bars.
if it's a wheel bearing then you will feel notchiness when you spin the wheel.

i have a similiar complaint, although it really only happens when travelling at fairly speed for an extended period. my hands feel numb from the vibes :BLAA:

i was considering heavier bar ends aswell to try and sort the problem.

would a steering damper sort the problem??
the guy i bought the fazer off is selling the ohlins steering damper he had for it for a knock down price

didnt think i needed one but it is going cheap....

steering stabilizers are good for wheel wobble, not vibes.
i've had them for my last 2 bikes.
