Bar-end weights... - Ducati.ms

Happy New Year all,

I have a slight vibration in my bars on my ST3...nothing bad, but there. I run stock bars attached to Heli risers.

I've heard of folks using Throttlemeister to help take the vibration out, leveraging the added weight of these bar-ends...

What do people suggest? Does Throttlemeister make a difference? Any other brands you would recommend that might be less expensive (I really don't care for cruise control...) ?

Cheers,

Bugs

I had a bit of experience with this myself on the 4s.

I found that someone had put two washers of relatively small diameter on the end of RH bar to ensure clearance between the throttle tube and the bar end weight.

I replaced this with two larger diameter stainless washers of 1mm thickness each and that greatly improved things.

On the LHS, I tried the same thing but it made it worse, then I tried three with no effect. I then tried just one and that seemed to tune it out.

So with one 1mm washer ont eh left and two ont he right, a nagging high frequency vibration at 120kph was successfully damped out for the princely sum of nowt.

Result!
