Suzuki SV605 has too much handlebar shake????
Ronald
the SV650. It looked and sounded like fun and comfortable.
I had a ninja 600 last. I had ridden thumpers (Yamaha one cyclinder SRX)
before and I just didn't like the handlebar vibration. I was told that
the SV650 has no vibration, which I am used to from my ninja.
I test rode the 2002 model last weekend and I liked the comfort. I
thought it was torquey, but it was more myself not knowing were the
shift points were at first and the clutch level being too big and tight
(it actually hurt my hand after a 10 minute ride). It did't have a lot
of kick to it and died at the top end, but the thing that bothered me
the most was all the vibration at the handle bars.
I had ridden the bike for 10 mins. I wonder if I would get used to it,
or would it constantly vibrate my arms and hands all the time. I wonder
what would happen at long rides on the highway....
Can somewhere tell me one way or another if my concerns are valid? Can I
do anything to get rid of the vibrations?

I have an '01 SV650S (with fairing and clip-ons, instead of tubular bars).
I have never found the vibration to be objectionable, I commute 35 miles
each way on it without any problem.
There *is* some vibration, but it is nothing like the objectionable high
frequency buzz you get on some inline fours, that will actually put your
hands to sleep.

Handlebar weights might help, but would probably slow down response to
steering inputs. A tradeoff, as is everything.

Well, I've got about 7000 miles on mine and I don't have a problem with
the vibration. I have owned bikes with inline four cylinders that had
vibration in the bars of lower amplitude but at a higher frequency, that
was much more objectionable. Unless you have some sort of physical
problem with your hands, I don't think you'll have a problem. No one on
the SV list I subscribe to has complained about excessive vibration.

I was wondering when someone would catch that dyslexic title "05 SB 50"
switch.
To the original poster, you don't ride an SV like an inline 600cc four.
Inline fours 6-10K & SV 3-7K most the time. Look at the torque curves on
both at MO online. This should take care of any high frequency
vibration. And remember the SV's HP peak is at ~9K but it's nearly flat
from 6.5 to 9K. At Freeway speeds to 90, I find the SV's soft pulses far
less objectional than a buzzy 600cc Inline four.

Neither of my SVs have had any appreciable vibration anywhere. An
inline four vibrates a great deal more. Actually, I would guess there
may be something wrong with the specimen you rode as mine don't seem to
vibrate at all. Good luck on that one.

Same here.

Agreed.

DOH!!! You could try countersteering while throwing that body weight around.
Bar Snake is the answer Ronald was looking for.

Smooth ride, good power and fantstic handling. I highly recommend it. My
last bike was a Suzuki GSX600 so I guess I'm partial to Suzuki but I really
recommend the SV650S
