Guys, has anyone had problem with the vibrations making way up and making the right hand go asleap. It's kinda annoying and wonder if lack of the muffler has anything to do with it. Any advice???

I am on my fourth bike and all vibrated. I would be surprised to find a bike that doesn't vibrate. My throttle rocker helps a bit since I don't have to squeeze the handle.

My first beemer was a 1998 r1200c , bought it new, did over 60000 miles on it and that one didn't put my hand to sleep. Therefore I am just checking if there's any remedy for that. Thanks

check that the throttle bodies are balanced up ok, that your wheels are balanced properly, that everything is tight and you're not holding on too tight to the bars.

I have "NOJ" neoprene grip wraps, goes around grips, held on with velcro.
It does help, about a 40%-50% reduction in felt vibration in the grips.
I also have a Throttle Rocker. It allows me to "Palm" the throttle thus, taking some vibrations away and allowing the blood to flow back into my hand.
Both of these are not "The Cure" but they do help.
