going from 10w40 to 10w30 on mine made a big increase in vibes. Rode 4 months from new w/10w40, never a tingle in my hands. Temps dropped to around 50 in the fall. Swithed to 10w30 for winter, hands numb after 15-20 minutes.

Might be worth a try?
The smoothest I found was Amsoil 10w40

I switched to Shell Rotella T6 5W-40 last change and my bike is smoother running now and the notchy shifting I was experiencing going into 5th gear is gone. I'm not going back to the 10W-30.
