Handlebar vibration?

[Padmei]

I'm gonna have to follow up on some of your ideas pete. During the last few rides my right ring finger has turned white & numb- kinda weird & creepy when you look at it - sorta like someone has attached their finger to your hand.

I feel the vibes mostly on the RHS of the bar strangely enough - the left feels ok. The bar is bent after a drop (off a cliff) so I'm wondering if the bar is a bit cracked. Anyway I have a spare bar end weight floating around so may give that a try.
The bike isn't also running as well as it should so the carbs being out of synch may be affecting it.

I bought a set of ROX anti vibe risers.... My throttle cables are to short..

Need to find a flatter set of bars... That would give 2 sets of anti vibe rubbers..

Try fitting the mysterious tassle grips.

Then you will be too embarrassed to go out in public for a ride therefore no more vibration issue.

I'm still trying to find some Progrip foam rallye grips...

Bump to see how you're going with the solutions Pete. Did a bit of research for my white finger thing & determined to make it go away.

There is now 2 sets of anti vibe rubbers... the standard set
in the top clamp plus the Rox set...

I'll take a look at those for the WR.
I feel the vibes on highway sections.

Took the Vibranators out of the TT for a ride a while ago to see if they were actually working. Put them back in as soon as I got home. Can't stand the vibes without them.

O thats right..got vibanators in there aswell... forgot they are even in there... unseen out of sight...

Got a set of "grip puppy's" to try... a soft foam sleeve that goes over the grips...

anti vibe risers don't work with the standard anti vibe system with out a
little mod... the handle bars move but the wheel stays still....
If you get them.. give me a yell..i will turn you up the "special mod [TM]" that sorts it out...

[Transalper]

...the handle bars move but the wheel stays still......

Curious to know what you mean. Is it that the bar twists a bit in the rubber before actually steering the bike? The Transalp does that with it's well aged rubber cushoning setup. Wonder if your mod would help that?

The ROX anti vib risers that Crim has are for fat bars, they do not fit the WR250R with it's 7/8" clamp and I'd need longer throttle cables. I'd have jumped on them otherwise.
ROX do do a 7/8" version but for me maybe another day as I have other things I want first.

No not a bit.... A lot... almost lock to lock with out the wheel moving....

Next time have a look at my XT... you will see the mod

Thanks Crim. I think I might try the revinators or whatever they're called. Those that have them - can you use them with the bark busters as the holding bolt thing?
Which ones have you guys got from this page?
