hello, does any one have a problem with vibration through there handlebars?
I've checked the engine mounts for tightness and they were ok. What else can i do? I've been told i can fill the bars with lead shot and that will cut down on the vibration. I drive 12 miles to work and by half way my thumb and hand on the throttle side go numb. Any help would be appreciated.

Thank you,
dslman

first get yourself some gloves with padded palms. next switch out the stock grips for some super grips or other brand with cushion grips. lastly dont hold on so tight.


i have carpel tunnel in my right hand. this makes my hand go numb very fast. the gloves and grips help lots for me but if i am riding with a death grip one the bars it goes numb very fast. i ride mine 18 km to and 18km from work every day to save money on gas. hope i helped.

You can also fill the bars with silicone. It absorbs and reduces the vibration.
