An additional workaround is "Grip Puppies". Get the original brand.

I already tried!!

the grips didn't make any significant difference (I'm not squeezing tight either), 3.5 -5K is just unusable for any length of time...

And everything else about this bike is absolutely perfect for me...

I do like getting above 5000 and noticing vibration drop off, but during those times there's a lot happening so I'm not focusing too much on vibration.
I'd do an oil change, since you're new to the bike.

Thanks Scotty, Oils have been changed...

I wonder though if you could tell me a little more about how long these motors take to fully break in? Do they keep smoothing out for a thousand miles or more/less?
