Not sure what your question is... but yes, the FZ6 tends to be a "buzzy" bike. I notice it in the bars, the footpegs, and the seat (not as much). And the mirrors vibrate like crazy too - everything is blurry at highway speeds.

First thing is to properly sync the throttle bodies, supposedly this helps a lot - I have not done it yet, so I can't comment.
To help the bars, there's a few options to help reduce vibrations.
-Gel grips or grip puppies will help absorb some, or gloves with a gel palm
-heavier bar ends
-Fill the bar with silicone/RTV, something heavy like lead shot or sand, or supposedly a combination of silicone and lead shot helps the most.
You should really TRY THIS as none of that is necessary!!
