I bought my 07 500r last week. Soooo much fun. I love it. Got a decent price too on new. They had 2 07 models both yellow. One new, other used for $3999 with 1500 miles. I got the new one for 4490 OTD.
I rode it 1st few days w/ my matching full face helmet and gear. I statred to notice vibration at 5k+ rpm.
I took it 2 blocks to the gas station w/o my helmet and these vibrations seem really loud. Are these normal? I can feel it at higher rpm from the lower fairing, and mid rpm its the headlight. If i rev it andput pressure onthose parts with my handthe noise stops. Any advice?


Edited for spelling because im dumber than i look.

 

Congrats on the new bike! There is normal buzzing, I think mostly from the fairing, at between 4000 and 5000 rpm. Nothing to worry about.

Of course, you're supposed to keep it under 4k for the first 500 miles...

 

lol, i know...but its like kinda hard sometimes. It sounds soooo good.

 

its ok if you go over a little bit. if you need to go to 6 to pass someone or something, its not gonna hurt anything. just dont do a flat out 20 minute top speed run lol.

the best thing is to vary the gear and RPM as much as you can.
