Here's something you might choose to do. The ZS172FMM3-A engine in the bike is not counter balanced. It's buzzy at 45 50 mph Not ridiculous but some harmonicas come to play at certain RPMs. Researching "YouTube" I came across Harley owners filling there handle bars with lead bird shot to reduce handlebar buzz and fatigue.. I installed some bark busters and decided to give the idea a try. A mixture of #5 & #7 bird shot probably close to 1 lb to fill the handle leaving maybe an inch of room so it's not completely full. Wow! What a difference it makes. Probably reduced vibration by 70%. I don't like the Xtra weight but I'm very happy with the results...

Back in the racing days, the first generation Honda aluminum frames were bastards. You buzzed from vibrating so bad you’d swear your tooth fillings would fall out. Our fix was filling the twin spar frame tubes with expandable foam. Worked wonders, never heard of the buckshot idea though. Pretty clever
