I've been getting some bad vibrations in my right side handle bar. After awhile my hand starts to buzz. Like that it's falling / or fell asleep and you get that tingling feeling. Recently came home from 2000+ mile trip with out feeling anything, then noticed it when I went on a little 100 mile day trip the next weekend. Any Ideas? | ||

I had the same exact issue.The primary chain was way loose. I also added the heavy HVMP bar end weights just for test and they made it even better. http://hvmp.com/universal.htm | ||

I tightened the primary when I changed the oil out, part way through the trip, but that was near 2000 miles ago. My be time to check and retighten. | ||

I find on shorter trips I tend to let the engine run near 2500 RPM. 5th gear at under 60 MPH will let my right hand go asleep. I used to have that problem when running a 6" grinder or W-3 chipping hammer on the line at the foundry. Hands would hurt so much when I came to work I couldn't wait for the line to start so they would go to sleep. | ||

Be sure to check under the flyscreen for anything loose or broken. My horn got loose once and caused some bad vibes. | ||

It's funny where the vibes come from on a buell. I busted my front exhaust stud, and felt a similar vibration in the rhs handle-bar and rhs foot-peg. I didn't find the cause till the flange started to rattle. 200miles later, I felt the same vibration. I pulled to the side of the road and checked,and the same stud had broken again. |
