Handle bar Vibs

Does anyone else have issues with handle bar vibs at around 3K rpm , I find my hands falling asleep fairly quickly , Other than that I am very happy with how this bike runs ...




On average 3.2l/100 kms

Yeah, I didn't like the way the stock grips felt. Too small and vibrated a bit too much for my hands. So I put on a pair of foam grip covers. It has helped out quite a lot, and they're cheap too.

I replaced my grips with Progrip 714. It's intended for off road and requires trimming with a razor to use with bar ends but it is a much fatter gel grip and relaxes your grip because of it's larger diameter. They're fairly cheap and well worth it. I've used them on four bikes in a row now over grip heaters (not necessary this time of year) and don't see myself switching to anything else in the near future. I've tried foam grips before and they just didn't do it for me... they also didn't last long. YMMV.

Another vote for Grip Puppies... brilliant improvement, extremely comfy.

Good tip. I will look for a set.

nope, no issues at all, but then I traded in a bmw g650gs thumper which is a paintcan shaker compared to the nc700
