The vibration isnt bad at all, its more than a 250r, but not too bad. I can ride mine all day and not get numb hands, i think there is no need to rubber mount anything.

The vibration on a trike isn't that bad but for some reason it seems to be worse on a quad with the same engine.

Bet it won't vibrate more then an 85 Tecate. LOL

I feel the vibration is on par with a Tri-Z. The rubber mounted bars help a little but not much. The trend for a lot of people seems to be they build their 500, and then want to move it, as in sell it for whatever reason.

Personally I'm not joining that club.

You can get use to the vibration, but make no mistake if you are use to riding 4 strokes or 250Rs you will be in for a serious awakening. When you crack the throttle your vision blurs and your getting shook around like you just completed the ground on a 220v line. Your hands will cramp and tire out very quickly... Other then that, they can be a turd to start. They make tons of power and even the low RPM torque will amaze you. Not many machines can throw dirt 3-4ft when you go from idle to 1/4 throttle with just knobbies :lol:

I wouldn't go too long if you're gonna ride it more than just the drag strip. i like my +4. with the power and being able to break it loose whenever you need to threading through the woods isn;t too bad.

Honestly I think the next thing i'm gonna do to mine is a +4 axel. We'll see.
