First, if this has been covered in the past, I apologize. I did a search and only came up with handlebar info.
I have a '99 YZ250 that I have owned now for about 4 months. This past week, my 15 year old (who races a YZ125 and YZ250F) rode it for the first time. After 1 lap he brought it back and said "How do you ride this thing? The vibration is awful."
It's been awhile since I've riden a 250 two stroke so I don't know if mine is "normal" or not. I do know that my hands start tingling after about two laps, and after 4 they feel like they are asleep, but I thought it was just because I'm old.
What is excessive? Is what I'm experiencing normal? Is there things I can check or do I not worry about it and fill my bars up with silicone? (they are 1 1/8' Pro Tapers BTW.)
Thanks for the input.
