I am still under 1,000 miles as I don't have as much time ride as I'd like, so hoping it will smooth out as I get some more miles on it.

Next I'll try some new grips and maybe some risers to see if that helps.

LOL - brilliant!

Let us know how your grip change goes. I just ordered a set of Pro Grip 719's at the recommendation of several folks on here. I'm experiencing some numbness in my right hand after pounding the super slab at 75+ mph for 45 minutes or so, but I think this has more to do with how tightly I'm gripping the throttle to avoid getting blown off.

I'll probably get a windscreen/cowl at some point to address the wind, but I figured I'd give the $15 grips a try first.

I haven't had any vibs from mine to speak of. They do have handlebar weights to add for reducing that. Change your handgrips to thick ones and that will help reduce vibration. I had that issue on an old V65. Who doesn't drive there bike above 3000 rpms? You need to take it up into the rpms on occasion to keep the carbon burned out and let the engine work. This bike is a kitten, my little Honda V30/VF500 Magna red lines at 11500 to 12000. It loves getting up there on occasion!!

I must have typed that code a million times! I think I'll go check and see if any of those 8" floppy's up in the attic still boot up.

Wish me luck.
