I wonder if there's a big difference in the amount our klr's vibrate or if some of us have more sensitivity to it. I've always considered my A9 smooth. It's never made my hands numb even on all day highway rides. Then again I can't handle even one cup of coffee. Bogdan

Elden told me that from his experience there is a vast disparity in the amount of vibration in stock klrs. He commented on how smooth my 97 is compared to his motor that he had Falicon balance. I don't know where the variance is, Elden suspects sloppy manufacturing tolerances that stack up a little here and a little there. Morgan
