yeah i feel it a little in the bars but i guess some people are annoyed as he** about it, some people it dont bother any, and like me some it dont bother but is lookin for any excuse to wrench on their new machine so i was gonna look into those rubber mount things off the 08 ltr and see exactly what they are and if they can help.

Oh, one last thing. I don't know were your at, but down here its all desert and a lot of people put slime in there tires once they get their quads. I know for a fact that if you over slime your tires you get a horrible horrible vibration. Just wanted to mention that.

i think its less than the 450R i had. Will be even less of an issue once I get some Flexx bars.

I am way less fatigued riding the KFX-450 vs the KFX-700 . You guys want a vibration producing trail you need to come to Arizona . I rode mine hard yesterday and the vibrations were less that on the 700 .

yeah, very immature. Grow up and stay on your own forum, since you'll spend more time fixing your ride than we will. Happy Riding!!!

heres a way to fix your problem.find the largest sinkers that you can fit down the handlebars. get alarge tube of silicone and a tube put the tube on the tube of siicone.put the tube down the handlebar.put a little in then put a sinker.repeate this untill the bar is full.barrel sinkers work best.pack the sinkers like your loading a muzzle loader. i did this to my daughters 90 cc race quad. it worked .make shure you finnish with silicone.try blister gloves,and softer grips.this may work.good luck.....

lol. Quit your whining. Go buy a anti-vibe stem and a set of Flex bars and carry on with life. ;) What exactly do you expect Kawasaki to do about it now? Or are you just the kind of person thats not happy unless they have something to complain about?
