Vibration Reduction
Motoroost1:
I'll try the looser grip for sure . I'll also look into a different set of grips perhaps to see if there is anything else that might absorb vibration better then what I have now .
I really want to ride this bike on a few longer trail runs this summer (60 miles or so ) and the only way it will be possible is if I can find a solution to the vibration . Currently , after only 20 miles or so , my hands are so numb that's it's a real issue .
alward25:
They made a big difference on my bike. :wink:
Motorrad:
A true crank and proper balance factor does wonders
Motoroost1:
No question about a trued crank , but , I am not going to disassemble the engine to address this . I have to find a reasonable , bolt on "remedy" .
If I can't , I'll live with it the way it is . Not the end of the world .
I'll investigate bar options tonight online .
Suva:
Cheep option is to fill the bars with expanding foam. Can shoot it in your frame as well.
