I have had my 2006 for three years now and love it. Since the day I bought it there was always handlebar vibrations at highway speeds.......to the point that the hands would go numb and would have to shake the hand for a few minutes to get the feeling back. I always figured it was mostly from the worn tires....well the other week I had two new Avons put on.....I am still having the same numbing vibrations at highway speeds......assuming the shop balanced and mounted the new tires properly, I should be able to rule out the tires. The vibrations are enough that I can feel them when I put my hand on the gas tank......not enough that I am loosing control or anything.
Looking for suggestions as to what the cause is, how to diagnose it and solve the problem.
I am relatively mechanical adept, although I have never really torn into the '06 yet.....have most of the day to day tools.
Looking for answers.
Thanks
