Dep Posted June 9, 2010 Posted June 9, 2010 Hi everyone, I've got a 2007 R6 which has done 13k miles. I've started to notice that the bars are very "buzzie" or "vibey" over 8000 rpm. Im getting concern about this now to the point where I'm about to part ex it for a new Kawasaki can any of you guys tell me if your R6 does this too? Could it just be a characteristic of the bike? Thanks guys / gals Dep
Ttaskmaster Posted June 9, 2010 Posted June 9, 2010 Not a Sports rider myself, but I do see many of 'em with steering dampeners fitted. Maybe that's an option? As for Kawasaki... There is an old South African saying: "There is kak, complete kak and then Kawasak!!"
bonzoid60 Posted June 9, 2010 Posted June 9, 2010 Alot of inline fours are buzzy at high rpm, particularly newer generation fours with their higher rev ceilings. BTW, have the bars/ end weights been changed?

Gas up - Let's Go! Posted June 10, 2010 Posted June 10, 2010 Had a ZZR600 once, dissolved before my very eyes one winter.......... I've a mate who has a versususuuuesss thing, he loves it and it's reasonably quick, but I could never decide if it knew what type of bike it wants to be. Good for twisty roads, but it doesn't cut it against a good single, good for touring but it's not as good as a smooth 4 pot (and the service schedule!), it is a good all-rounder though quirky looks If you want/like the Saki, go for it, all bike have thier fans and fannies, you only every know for sure when you've got some miles on it.

Never a truer word spoken. I've always had twins and single, but the more miles I put on the Beemer the more pissed off with putting tyres on it and stopping for fuel i became. And those damn indicator switches, 3 fcuking buttons to operate one system, OFFS! Handles well for such a heavy lump tho. want to go for something lighter with more range from the tank and less heavy on tyres/ brakes etc.
