Re: Bad vibrations?

[Neil Halbert <halbert@xxxxxxx>]

I would agree with Dave in the at vibration has not been a problem with
the bike. The only time that I had noticeable post ride buzz. Was after
a trip to the dealer where the mechanic suggested that I "beat on it a
bit harder" and I played a bit "squid" with it. This consisted of
sustained periods in the 6-10k rpm range. (100 mph in second). Between
the ride and the adrenaline from the vigorous ride back to work had the
hands tingling. Otherwise in normal day to day fun it has been no
problem at all. I also, always where gloves. Nothing special or extra
padded.
