Vibration

The left side handlebar vibrates almost twice as much as the throttle side when cruising,which in turn make my clutch handle rattle pretty bad, any idea's why the the left shakes more than the right?

Can you physically see it vibrating more or does it just feel that way? Maybe it vibrates more because the throttle side has a little more play in the grip...? Just a theory...

I am just guessing out loud here. Maybe the bolt the hold the handle bars to the triple tree on the left side is loose or missing and the right side is tight.
Just a thought!

push on the outer edge of the fairing. see if 1 side moves more than the other. may be a broken fairing bracket

Mine doesn't vibrate while cruising, but at idle the right side mirror really shakes and the left one doesn't. How bad a vibration are you talking when cruising?
