i fitted the original balancers onto the KTM Handguard. the buzzing/vibrations on my hand continued for a few days after i returned from a long trip.

Would you post a pic of where the handguard mounts on the handlebar near the screen? Thanks 
 
you can refer to this thread

were you pumping with the side stand?
 
i managed 4.5 easily while parked on main stand.

has anyone try adding handlebar barend balancers?

sorting out the suspension and lower psi for the tyres didn't work for me. the bike still wobbles at times!
 
this is so frustrating that the bike doesnt give you the confidence to ride it harder than it is suppose to handle.
 
i noticed that the front end starts to get light and pre-empt you with the "gives you the feeling that is going to wobble" at about 170 - 185 KM/H range. or perhaps it is the phobia in me, unknowingly and subconsciously made myself to hold the handlebar much much tighter than i am suppose to ...

sounds like an awesome idea. i have created a spread specifically for suspension setup. feel free to add your setup in it to share the information!

previous I was on 36/40 psi; adjusted the suspension. it was much better but still face the issue at times.
 
i'm currently on 34/36 psi; have not really got chance to test it out.
 
let's post our suspension settings for comparison?
 
front preload: 6 lines (towards soft) ^{(standard 16 mm;     4.0 mm ~ 19.0 mm;      4.0mm being hard ~ 19.0mm being soft)}
front rebound: 9 clicks (towards soft) ^{(standard 7 clicks;       1 ~ 11 clicks;     1 being hard ~ 11 being soft)}
 
rear preload: 3 (towards soft) ^{(standard 4;       1 ~ 7;        1 being soft ~ 7 being hard)}
rear rebound: factory stock
 
weight of rider: 152 lb / 69kg
single/2-up: solo
tyre psi: 34 / 36
tyre make / model: factory stock

have anyone swopped out the dunlops with more capable tyres? and see if it is because of the tyres?

would you please upload more close up / detailed photos (mounting points / things to take note) on how you have mounted the KTM handguard onto the handlebar?
 
thanks!

would you please remove the Givi Baseplate Cover and snap a few more photos of how exactly you had mounted the Givi Base Plate to Yamaha OEM Rack?
 
Top / Side / Bottom photos would be great, much appreciated!
 
 
 

Givi mount on Yamaha rack. To keep soft bags stable at speeds made stabilizer bar.
