I was thinking about getting a KFX for trails but heard the vibes in the bars is kinda bad. Ive had carpal tunnel surgery and is a concern.

I haven't noticed any more vibration through the handle bars than any other quad I have rode.

when you first get it you notice a little bit. But after riding it for a while you get so accustomed to it.

i don't even notice it anymore.

Its a great place to live. The winters have been pretty mild, hardly have much snow. Today was almost 50 degrees. Lots of good trail riding, but the stinking forest service and BLM is shutting places down, because of the the impact it has on the environment. BS, horses cause more damage on the trails than machines ever do. Sorry other than that, Montana is absolutely the last best place on earth but, that's just my opinion. Maybe you can make it here sometime.:D

yes it is noticeable and was annoying for me on long rides. there is a cheap remedy for it made by Fasst Co. they are anti vibe inserts that go in the bar ends and deaden the vibration. I think they were only 50 bucks plus the cost for new grips ( which gives you the opportunity to put softer grips on too). anyway, this helps to almost completely kill the vibration all together.

Pretty tame until you change out the pipe and filter setup, then when rev it up you will feel a big difference, along with the power.
I just put on the Fasst handlebars haven't been able to get out and try them yet.

it might sound dumb but it works, fill the bars with silicone. and get some thicker grips, like ourys.
