Hi folks,
Everyone knows that the FZ6 has a distinctive buzz around 5500rpm and it's never been much of a problem for me. I've always thought of it as a "tactile tachometer" letting me know through the bars precisely when she passed through 5500ish rpms.
BUT, I just got back from a ride and my hands are numb. This has been getting worse for the last several weeks. Also, the buzz range has expanded (I think) to 5100-6300rpm where before it was just around 5500.
Is my engine buzz really getting worse? Maybe I'm just getting more in tune with my new toy? Has anyone else had this problem? Are there ways to minimize this, ie. something needs to be tightened, engine adjusted, new handlebar risers, shock absorbers, etc?
As always, thanks in advance for the excellent feedback I'm about to get from this great crew.
Peace,
Mike
