I don't know if i'm going crazy but my bikes got fair amount of vibration at 5000 rpms not at 4500 not at 5500 but only at 5 grand. I've noticed it a week ago. My bikes got 1180 on the clock.what do you think?
The FZ6 or any inline 4 will be buzzy to some point. If its really extreme, there's a problem.
I'd get a throtle sync done on it. Check it not only at idle but at 5k and adjust accordingly. The sync is generally not covered under warranty but I'd bring it to the dealer and have them look at it. I have a Carbmate which works great, no fluids, very easy to use and very accurate.
I had a similar "buzz" (not vibration) at 4K, I did the throttle sync at both idle and 4k, got rid of 90% of it.
If they determine its normal, I have the grip puppies(basically foam that goes over the grips) and like them. My leather gloves also have Gel on the inside of the palms to quell the vibration as well. I also had the seat done with a material to soften it some and stop the vibs thru the seat...
You may just be noticing different things (good and bad) with the bike as you get used to it...
what gloves do you wear with the gel in it?
thx
