A quick spray with window cleaner will lube the rubber bushings for re-install, once it dries they'll be just as firm as stock again.

There are rubber mounted weights in the ends already, the outer screw is the attachment point for the external weights. The weights are held in via friction.

@@bwnco At the end of the day, it's still a high revving parallel twin. Some vibration is going to happen, especially with the engine mounted on the frame as a stressed member. What I've found helpful is to work on your grip on the handlebars; you don't need a tight grip on them at all. You might be holding on too tightly.

Thanks so much for making this. I didn't understand you were supposed to be put the bar ends _back_ in the throttle bar, AND align those metal 4 pieces to the notches inside. You rock! (Now if I can just figure out where the rubber space goes....)

No, it's not my first bike. In fact, this is the second Versys 300 I've purchased, as I sold the first Versys I owned in a fit of insanity. I've owned 5-6 motorcycles over the years. Yes, I'm pleased with it. The bike is light, nimble easy to work on and has done everything I've asked of it.

Can these weights be securely reattached after they have been removed? If so, would I just screw them back in?
@the_bishop
Жыл бұрын
Yes, they can. The trick is getting the main bolt out once the whole weight is removed, as it's pretty seriously fastened with red lock tite.

Great work. There is no need to remove the internal counterweights and for vibrations issues its not recommended. I had to reinstall both of them several days after installing Barkbusters handguards, just push them further. Vibrations without them is more noticeable.
