I was thinking of doing just that soon. Would be very easy to do as well.No buzzing here.
Anybody ever try putting tennis (grip) tape over their grips? Sometimes called over wrap. Could be worth a try. Simple to do and easy enough to remove with no ill effects to orig grips if you didn't like it. Usually many diff colors are avail with varying levels of tackiness.
Mine is just short of 8000 miles, and I am starting to notice a reduction in the buzzing intensity as well.Another thing to consider is I've found that vibration does improve as the motor breaks in, although it can take a few thousand miles to get there. While I still have a bit of buzzing above 6-7000 rpm, mine has never been smoother at 16,000 miles.
Agreed. At around 12k miles, the buzz went away. I wonder if using natural motor oil rather than synthetic might hasten the break in.Another thing to consider is I've found that vibration does improve as the motor breaks in, although it can take a few thousand miles to get there.

GRIP PUPPIES! What a name, but they work. I'm not sure if it's the spongy feel or the increase in grip diameter with them installed over the OEM hard rubber grips, but they definitely work for me. I replace them about once a year because the soft surface finish tends to get matted down and a little grungy with use.I have purchased grip puppies to help with this however Ive not installed them,,.
There is a tread on the grip puppies you might want to look at,,.
