My K6 seems to have a lot of vibration around 5000 rpm and above. I can feel this vibration throughout the bike especially in the handlebars, numbing my hands only after 20 min. on the highway. I also ride with my daughter on the back and her feet fall asleep in the same amount of time. The vibration seems to be engine-related. When I pull in the clutch to let the revs drop the vibration is gone. As soon as the rpm rises past 5000 again the vibration returns. :scratch
I have done a search on this site using as many different topics as I can think of and the only answers I have found seem to be things like "it's a GSX-R - deal with it", "it has high horse power, what do you expect", and "fill the handlebars with lead shot and silicone to help with the vibration". I would like to know why this bike vibrates so much. This is my 5th GSX-R and my 13th sportbike. This is the worse bike I've ever had for vibration.
I've only had the chance to ride one other K6 1000 and it was way smoother than mine.
I have syncronized the throttle bodies, I have checked the TPS and it's fine, I have done the clutch adjustment and I currently have 3000 kms or approximately 1800 miles on the bike. Any ideas or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
