Picking up bike this afternoon. Mechanic indicates that the buzz is normal because the FZ8 engine does not have an engine balancer. He felt the buzz on a couple of test runs and says they all (FZ8s) have that.
The buzz frequency is definitely bothering me. Some people are sensitive to that particular frequency than others but the buzz is present in all FZ8s. The idea is to move the buzz to an rpm band that you do not use often.
I have been trying to grip the tank more and relax my grip every time I remember so that my hand is not the absorption point for the energy. It has also gotten better with engine break in.
