[QUOTE="YummYam, post: 947507, member: 28551"] Hi. Read your post with interest as I'm having the same issue with my '07 AE with 9000 miles. Have owned it just over a month and have found what seems to be common issues with abrupt throttle action, heavy return spring(s?)and like you, a tingling vibration at the grips giving me 'pins and needles' mainly in my right hand. I suspect this is made worse by, for me, the grip diameter being too small as I have long fingers and I'm sure this compounds the issue. I'm really keen to do a TBS and reduce the spring tension and also fit larger diameter grips. A kind forum member has described to me how to reprofile the cable cam in the grip but have you tried doing a TBS and did you notice any reduction in vibes? I also fitted sliders myself so will have to check the torque settings. Can anyone advise on fitting larger grips to factory heated originals, reducing the spring tension and also where I can obtain a TBS tool? Sorry to have a shedload of queries but they are the only issues I have with this great bike and would like to get them sorted. Thanks [/QUOTE]
