    Anyone else get a numb right hand while running-in?? I'm hoping the problem goes away once I'm not limited to 4,000 rpm - 170 miles to go...

    I had two test rides before I ordered the bike, one of three hours and one of two and never had this problem then... but then I was, a-hem, using the whole rev-range... ;-)

    Cheers,
    Dave

    Mine was a little rough before it was run in, it does get smoother the more miles I put on it.

    Mine also vibrates a bit through bars and footrests at high speeds, certainly more than I expected and more than the loan bike I had recently. I've got the low bars and the thicker grey grips. I sometimes get numb hands if I'm stuck at the same speed for prolonged periods, goes away as soon as I get on an A road and am braking and accelerating.

    I found the bars hurt my delicate paws o_O.
    For me its more about arm angle/position rather than vibes, I notice (possibly due to my girth :eek: ) my hands don't naturally sit 'square' to the grips... Thinking about trying some Grip Puppies as suggested by others on't forum... Maybe these would help you?

    I don’t gat any noticeable vibrations through the pegs at any speed, only a little through the bars if I’m in too higher gear at low revs

    Had a good ride today at B road speeds and did notice bar vibration at 3500 revs that went at 3800 all good everywhere else, which I’ve never noticed before looking for out for it:)

    You can add weight to the bars, either heavier bar end weights or fill the bar's with sand ! This will dampen the vibrations away to a bearable limit.
