Default Vibration

I've only had my SV for about 2 weeks now but I've noticed that there is a small amount of vibration through the bars, enough to make my right hand go to sleep, get pins and needles or just plain warm itself up!

I've been told that I may have been gripping to tightly but I'm sure I'm not but sure enough after a blast (especially on duals or M-way) my right hand seems to have a mind of it's own (In fact on the way home this evening it went completely to sleep as I spent most of the journey on the M5 filtering).

Also, after a long ride (Such as this evening - 80 mile trip) my hands feel like they do after you've been sanding for a while (They feel like they are buzzing on their own).

Any ideas?

You had a v-twin before fella? Im just wondering if you're learning the joys of a throbbing v-twin between ure legs!

My only other v-twin was my Varadero 125 (Not quite the same power league!) this is my first big bike as I've only had my licence since the 17th May.

Well congrats on the test pass. Had you been far on your 125 before changing to your sv? This might sound daft but different bikes are different physically to ride, you almost need to build up stamina on riding bikes in different posiotions especially with the sv being leant over more then your varadero maybe just give it a bit of time and your body will adjust to riding the sv.

Thanks for the answers guys - I hadn't really been as far in a single ride on the 125 (I think the most would be about 40 miles) but I've done a few 90 mile trips already on the SV!

I thought it was something along the lines of a v-twin trait, but wanted to make sure!

Just have to fit those clear indicators and look at getting a new lid - I like my Caberg, but riding around with my own personal wind tunnel isn't great.

Yes, V-twins do make a lot of noise and vibration as a normal trait, I'm not sure which bike you have ie new or older,but if it's an older curvy model, I would suggest the possibility of balancing the carbs if you have the tools and knowhow (very simple job in my honest opinion). Do you know when they were last balanced or if they have ever been balanced? (what's the mileage on the bike?) presuming it's a curvy model of course!

It's a K4 with about 1600 miles on the clock.
