Bad vibes
      #30399 - 10/08/2008 15:26

Hi, can anyone help. I own a 07 blade and love it. The only problem is i'm getting vibration through the handle bars and my butt. Honda have looked at it and say no problem found. Has anyone else experienced my dilema? or give me some advice?

Unscrew the bar ends, insert some weight (rolled up roofing lead worked for me), insert into handle bar tube, replace bar ends.

I've owned two bikes over the years that had bad bar vibes - the above cured both.

Well, you need to roll the stuff just a little tighter......
