Hey guys,
I need some help with the vibration problem. I've searched and read as many of the posts as I could find about this.
My problem is that I can only ride about 7 to 20 miles before my right wrist starts to get sore, then tingly, then numb. If I stop for a couple of minutes and shake out my wrist, it gets better, but as soon as I start riding, it comes right back.
The bike is a 09 and I bought it new in July of 2010 and put about 1450 miles on it and I figured it would get better over time. I was wrong. I replaced the grips with gel Pro Grips and added HVMP heavy bar ends. No improvement. I synced the throttle bodies, made sure the chain is adjusted right and torqued the engine mount bolts. No help. The bars vibrate at any rpm above idle and 6K + is worse, especially at WOT.
In comparison, my sons 06, with Scorpion cans, only has the normal vib at 5 to 6K, smooth everywhere else. He's ridden it and said he thought the vibes were pretty bad.
So, if anyone has any ideas, I'd like to hear them because a for sale sign is next as its no fun to ride.
