| | Posted : 19 Oct 2012 - 06:44 Post title : Buzzing bars. | | | Hi to all.I have a bit of a problem.I have short TORS and a K&N air filter.I originally put tune 20306 in and had problems with a buzz through the bars at 3,000 RPM which is 110 kph (cruising speed).I put tune 20359 in and it runs much better but still a slight tingle.The dealer said he thought it was the pipes resonating but I have rubber mounted the rubber mounts and stil buzz.Rabbi has suggested I try tune 20310.Anybody got any suggestions or does any one think this problem can be tuned out or do I just live with it?I have done the spacer thing in the rubber mounts for the risers.Any ideas?Cheers from OZ.

| | Posted : 19 Oct 2012 - 08:46 Post title : Re: Buzzing bars. (Re: Aussieduck) | | | Oih AussieDuck What year model is your Bird.
Early Model Birds, 2009 with SAI ( Secondary Air Injection) Shorties and Sports Aircleaner Should have 20306.
Late Model Birds, like late 2010 and 2011 Which in this country dont have SAI. with Shorties & Sports Aircleaner Should have 20359.
My bike is a 5th month 2011 and I have Shorties and Sports Aircleaner and the 20359 tune. I also have Rivco Riser on Mine and I dont seem to have much buzzing in the bars but there is a bit ( very little bit ) of a 1600cc thump/vibration at around the 2700 to 3000 RPM area under slight load. but as I said I think that from those 2 big explosions going off straight under you.
Dont think you have much to worry about, Just keep wringing it's neck and keep grinning.

I really don't know what to tell you. Theres a few guys that did this spacer thing where you put spacers on the screws that mount the bars to the triple clamp, but i notced no difference at all. Maybe because i have T bars. But i HAVE noticed nearly anything you do to this bike will affect vibes to some degree.

Yep, I second that.
The thing about the bars, is they really need to be isolated. So, I'm not sure if you get the spacer set from one of our members like I did.
But, I can jerk my bars slightly against the rubber. In other words, I can, with effort, move them independently of the trees.
They bounce right back, of course.
What really soaked up the road buzz for me, was new shocks. Now if I could just get a bit more pull back on those bars.....

I eventually had to go the whole hog to 'mask' & damper down the high frequency hand numbing buzzing.... Kury grips , Riser mod and liquid bar-snake. Seemed to be the easier option as anything else i.e harmonic resonator bar weights etc would require mod'ing & drilling out the bars.

I think it just Gels so it dampens the vibration resonance propagation?
