Our 2010 GTR has just started to buzz at around 4k on both grips, RH worse than L, having done 3200 miles. I noticed it start while we were out on Friday. It's rather annoying.

Fortunately it's transient and disappears/becomes less noticeable as the rev's rise. It could well be something has come loose. I'm running PR2s not OEM tyres. It's due for a service in 300 miles so hopefully they can resolve it.

Sahagun .... just breaking mine in at the moment ..2011 model ... so havn't been above 4000 revs but around there and no vibes from this one ... what's the weather like at the moment in Spain ?? Dry like the UK but a little warmer I imagine ?

Hi Lord Rusty -- Amazingly we had really unseasonally warm weather in Spain at the end of Feb. It mad for some great riding time. But unfortuantely it's raining now and it should continue until next week. At least it's still 13 degrees !!!

I was in Gibraltar on Monday with my summer gloves on !!!

And my vibration has never come back since the engine mounting bolts were torqued up.

Good luck after you have finished the running-in !!

Hi folks, sorry to regurgitate this topic but I also have the dreaded 4,000rpm vibration.

I had the 2008 bike and it was perfect, not a hint of a vibe all its life till about 45,000kms when it started a little bit. Traded it in for the 2011 model and the bastid bike makes my hands go numb in any gear at 4,000rpm.

Brought it to two Kwak dealers and they both say that the vibe is there but Kawasaki UK say 'it's a characteristic of the bike'....... As my missus says, if it's a 'characteristic', why isn't it advertised in the brochure!!

I've set up this page to see if we can record how many have the problem, so if you do, 'like' the page and leave a comment about your vibration!
