OK to ride brand new bike all day?

Thanks for not nuking my thread (whomever didn't nuke it)

Great ride, about 250 miles, awesome bike and love everything about it but the vibration is killing me above 70mph. Right below 4K is starts buzzing enough to really irritate me. Stock grips, stock bike, what can I do?

You've got it looking real good, and I like the Vario windshield. Buzzing? Vibration? Where are you feeling it? Try powering through it. You can afford to twist the throttle a bit. See how it feels at 6-8K RPM.

6-8K and I'll be over 100mph. Please tell me there is something I can do, it's only through the bars that I have an issue.

Do a TBS before you do anything else and see if that fixes it. No law says a new bike is delivered in perfect running set up so now's a good time to learn the easiest way to smooth out you bike. Doesn't cost a thing (except for the Morgan CarbtuneII or whatever you get) and I'll bet you have a smoother running bike afterwards.

Thank you, I ordered a Morgan this evening and a vibranator. I also have some BMW grips I'll be doing at the same time. I don't need it to be smooth as glass, I just need it to feel like I'm not in 3rd gear on the freeway.

Maybe after some break-in you won't feel this as much?

But a quick help would be to slide on some Grip Puppies or equivalent and some heavy bar ends. I use the Throttle Meister Heavy's, this will also give you a make shift cruise control but I'm not a big fan of that side of them

Enjoy Amigo, looks like beautiful scenery out there
