Just how much vibration should there be?

balls, well thats me fresh out of ideas.

Mine vibrates a fair bit, this is displayed beautifully by my handlebar mounted camera. I have some videos (yet to be posted, soz) and you can see wherever I gun it or go for an overtake the vibrations send the image into double vision however anything below 5k is smooth as anything.
(this makes for very boring/irritating viewing-all the good bits are too vibey!)

aw man I liked that can!

Non standard bar ends fitted?
That could cause your tingling problems. If fitted with aftermarket bar ends they tend not to be heavy enough and this causes more vibration

hmm, more things come into play then. will check the cold tyre pressures tomorrow and see what ive got. must admit its seems worse in the past few weeks, but maybe just a coincidence.

As for exhaust, Ive got a scorpion can too, but would that really make much difference?

anyone got a close up pic of a standard bar end weight? And Dave, be interesting to see those vids, my bike barely noticeable under 6k, 50mph and you dont feel a thing, yet do 75-80 and its there.

Good afternoon all.

One thing often overlooked with vibration related issues is the engine mounts. Simply leaning on them with a spanner or socket is not good enough.
It's best to remove them & apply a little anti-seize compound, & torque them up to their required value. try it you may be surprised.


Cheers.

nothing to loose there, will give it a look, anyone know the values required?
