Maybe try some decent riding gloves? I used mechanics gloves for a while for commuting, but longer rides I noticed they get real tingly.

try heavier bar ends .
maybe get some a square sorbothane pads and sandwich that in-between the handlebar and triple tree. something like that....

I know of a few people that have mixed silicone and lead shot to fill the bars with to reduce vibes, seems to work pretty well. Apart from that you can look into different gloves, grips, bar ends etc. this is something of a common complaint on this bike and there are as many solutions as riders it seems

Bar risers, new grips, and a throttle rocker helped me with that issue. Also helped with my wrist & lower back issues on longer rides.

So far, I've tried new ProGrips 719 grips, Grip Puppies, and filled the bars with lead shot. I did not use silicone with the lead b/c I'm not sure what silicone to use that would not be so sticky I could pour it into the bar.

I'm going to try the fz1 bars next, for less sweep and a different angle on my wrists. All the mods so far seem to help, but the vibration is still there, most noticeable b/t 5-6000 rpm, and it only bothers my throttle hand. It seems like maybe a steel throttle tube would be better than plastic, but I don't know.

At least now I can shake it out easily, before my whole hand would just go numb. I might try syncing the carbs as well, but at this point I'm pretty much feeling like I can live with it as is. It's now no worse than any dirt bike I've ever had.
