Couple things and a Bar Buzz

So I stuck to Kawasaki’s rpm recommendations during break-in (up to 600 miles). Sure enough, the buzz gradually disappeared. Now at 1500 miles it’s totally smooth through the rev range.

So stick with it, follow the break-in recommendations and all will be well.

I've never heard of this, but its true.  Last several rides, the bars are fine and no buzz/hand tingle.  I also added a scrotum tingle feature delete.  Alaska Sheep Skin seat pad does the trick. 

Life is good!

Maybe this tingling in the groin area has nothing to do with the bike! Does it stop when you get off? If not, I’ll have what you’re having 😀

This could be particularly awkward if it occurs whilst in the check out queue at your local supermarket
