  1. My wife has issues with her hands,( low blood flow) which is brought on at times by vibration or sometimes cold that will make her hands go numb. She has currently put 26,000 miles on her FJ-09 and I have never heard a complaint. We just purchased her a new "Tracer" ( Actually I don't understand people saying it's a "new" model.) It's a re-name that's all, isn't it? I mean other than a few upgrades this year it is the same motor/frame and has a little change to the seat/body work. How' is that new model? . Ok rant over.. She tested it out tonight and says she feels no difference, guess we'll see in a couple thousand miles. 1 thing I'd suggest. When you receive your new bike. Go over it with a torque wrench. Don't take for granted the assembly guy/girl did when putting it together from the crate. .Could be the main factor in feeling a buzz.......... p.s. Though the wheels have a nice matte blue finish, I personally can't stand the 80's look. ( wife likes em' though ) If you weren't alive or into moto in the 80's many bikes came with color matched wheels . If the bike should buzz a unusual amount and she is tempted to give it to me..;-) the wheels will take a quick trip to the powder coat guy.... lol pic is of the fj-09 , still looking sharp as when it came home in 2015.
