    Is anyone experiencing slight vibrations above 3K RPM?? or is it just me?

    I can feel them in the handle bar. I tried tightening the handle bar end weights, but of no use.

    Any suggestions on how to reduce these?
    Hello??? Anybody there????
    From variable Bhps to a constant 17.6 Bhp.

        Not harsh vibes, but just as the throttle reaches 3k rpm , slight kirr from within and also from the console..

            If u are really keen, buy a exhaust in junk (even old ZMA exhaust would do) and remove cat-con and use it. So when ever u wanna switch back to stock u can do and risk factor is less.
            I was told by some bike modifier guy that removing the cat con is equivalent to a free flow. He was even telling me about end cans which will give performance boost and sound!

              As far as I rode my bike, i never experienced such a vibration no my handle in such a low rpm. I felt vibrations on handles only after 105 kmph in top gear. Sorry to hear this. You should consult with svc, i think. Most of the bikes which re riding long and even off roads, is facing vibrations in the fairing.. .mine too...

              started riding a motorized cycle on a chetak classic.
              Learned to accelerate on Y RX100&135.
              Learned not to fall down, the patience to heal wound on knee and to ride long on a classic Pulsar 150(still running)&180.....

                Even I am getting that slight noise between 2.5k to 3k rpm. Once it crosses that point its fine. Am not bothered about it. I feel its something coming from inside the meter. Bcz I had my complete fairing opened and refixed during service still taht noise exists.

                • why it hq happening?

                  why Hero Honda takes this much time to provide spares? Everytime I enquire about the status, my service manager informs me that YOUR SPARES ARE ORDERED IN EMERGENCY, SO IT WILL COME SOON. But nothing happens...i think either Hero Honda should make a regional arrangement for spares supply, as they have got production units in almost all regions or the dealers should stock enough spares like fairings and all other than costly mechanical parts. Because mechanical are not expected to happen always. But for other parts, it may happen anytime. This is my fifth bike and I think this is the worst time, when I had waiting for a spares more than one week.... I think there re many here itself, who have waited for many weeks or a month for spares...
                  Think about riding a 150 cc pulsar classic or 135cc yamaha rx after long heavenly rides on zmr... So I am riding only for 18 kms a day for the last one and a half weeks...
