Hello everyone. A have problem, i don't know what to do. A have vibration above 5000rpm. it's really making me nervous. And after couple hours of riding, my palms and and foots keep vibrating. Any ideas? Moto - 2008, 5k miles on it
5000 miles on it, speed doesn't matter. in a low speed it feels, but not really well. tires are in good shape. nothing changed on it. Maybe wheels unbalanced

It's one possible solution out of many. It really depends on the source of the vibration. The bike will always vibrate to some extent, and will vibrate differently at different parts of the rev range. Are your hands and feet going numb from the vibes ? If your hands are suffering more than your feet there are many other things to try before you start shelling out cash at the dealership. It could just be the normal vibes you would expect from a bike.

If you ride not more than 1.5 hour you ain't feel it. i can feel more vibes when i put fingers on the brake lever.

I found the grips to hard for my liking, so I bought some grip puppies, and there is some vibration, but not that bad. But then again I came from a Harley...

Look into some heavy duty bar-end weights, and maybe some puppies like tomcat said!
I used to run my rebuilt 650F without bar ends, and I'll tell you, after an hour, it's like you spent a day with a dual-action sander! hahaha my hands tingled all over for 10-15 minutes.
There's a sort of mechanical resonance you're just gonna have to live with on the 650F I've found out. keeping fresh oil in it, keeping the chain healthy, and properly tensioned, will take the Sting out of it. a 16T front sprocket will do wonders to keep you out of the vibe zone on the road. It'll only really come alive and vibrate and zing and sing when you're above 70.
