Anyone managed to eliminate the vibes experienced below 3000 revs through the bars on tubers.Been thinking of bar end weights,and perhaps some form of rubber mount.Weird thing that my former mount ( a 96 XL1200S ). was smooth up untill 3000,and the M2 smooth from 3000 up Ideas Lee | ||

I have experienced the same thing. I went with gel grips and gel gloves and it has helped but just keeping the rpm's up through town still works the best for me. Rubber spacers on the risers, if you have risers should help also. I have a 2000 M2. | ||

Bar ends help a little bit, the heavier the better. | ||

Be sure to check your entire exhaust mounting system for good tightness/integrity. Any looseness can manifest increased vibes at the handlebars and foot-pegs. Bar-end mirrors, especially the larger Napolean model, are effective vibration dampers, much more so than any mere bar-end. That may be why I never notice any vibes to speak of on my M2. A good pair of gloves might help too. | ||

What about isolator failure ? Checked lately? | ||

Guys Worked on the HEAVY handlebar weights,about 3/4 lb each,that's what Guzzi use to tame the vibes on the 1100sport. They have worked up to a point,not eliminated the vibes altogether,but reasonably smooth right down to 2000rpm. Thanks for all your input Cheers Lee  |
