Loose bar ends? - Brant_imp - 08-12-2013
I've noticed that after the engine is under load that the handle bar ends vibrate and turn. The salesperson stated this was normal. Any input?

You mean is the vibration normal or that the weights turning is normal????

Deanohh,
The bar end weight on the throttle side turns so if your hand is too far out while you are twisting the throttle the bar end will turn with the throttle. The one on the clutch side does not turn. If you don't want it to turn freely, grab the weight and tighten the Phillips head screw in the end of the bar weight. They can still be forced to turn by rotating the entire weight assembly inside the two rubber doughnuts that are wrapped around the ends of the interior weight.

Thanks, I couldn't figure exactly what the OP wanted to know.

I just thought it was odd, problem solved.

I actually had one fall off on another bike (Suzuki) of mine. Not inexpensive to replace.
Your options are 1. to remove and plug 2. blue Locktite in place 3. screw them down and check ever so often.
I chose the later and so far so good.
