Default Handle Bar Vibration

Hey guys, since I have been riding my 03 z400 (about a month) my bars have been vibrating, usually when I am heavy on the gas. It is to the point after an hour or so my hands are asleep. Is this normal for this bike? I love riding it compared to the Warrior, but it tough going with hands that are asleep.

You might have bad front wheel bearings, and I was wondering, do you like the Yoshimura pipe? Does it make a big difference?

Steering stabilizer. Filling your bars with silcone helps also. Or oversized bars.
All of the above will solve everything [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img]

The steering stabilizer I had lasted through about 3 stumps and a tree.

Thanks guys for the help. I will definitly try the steering stabilizer and the silicon trick. Although the silcon trick does sound pretty messy. I am just in the process of changing the wheel bearings pretty much as we speak. As for the pipe it is great. It added a noticable difference in power but the k&N filter added with the pipe made the bigger difference. It has a really nice sound as well that is not too loud.
