Bar Vibration or Not??

[Deleted]

So I've had a mooch around online and people seem to complain about vibrations from the bars over 75mph. Does anyone else get this? I've swapped to Renthal MX bars and I have BikeTech flush bar ends. I didn't notice any vibration before and I still don't. I only swapped the bars because I didn't want gold ones. I'm just a bit curious as to why mine doesn't vibrate and apparently everyone elses does? I haven't put rubber in the clamps or filled the bars with expanding foam(although I can't see what that would do  )

Never had that myself ever- rode the zed home from Outlon Park the other day in the shittiest weather ever between 80 and a ton....nothing, never have though either....

Rather than trying to cure the end result try no one ever seems to try to find the issue....are the front wheel bearings worn? is the tyre balanced? did or has a change of the front tyre altered the vibration? are the discs warped...? whats the state of the forks? have they been stripped, checked and rebuilt...? Head bearings...are they worn?

As I say - id personally be going for the root of the problem rather than trying to negate the end result. If yours is ok then you've got a good in but that's not to say a vibrating bike is bad....it just sounds like stuff needs to be checked.

As comfy said, when i bought mine it shook like a big bird on a jack hammer, had the forks done, new rear shock & wheel bearings smoooth as a silk

if there is any engine vibration peeps could try a set of Grip Puppies over the standard grips to smooth the vibes out a touch .

I put grip puppies on my 2008 zed,and now my 2017 zed never looked back,best £13 I've ever spent much better grip, comfortably,ide recommend them...

yep got em on my z and no vibes and comfy too, takes a bit for the heat from the heated grips to work its way through but its a good trade off .
