Are you talking about the handlebar buzz?

I feel the vibration in my hands. when I stopped, it bothered me

I know exactly what you are talking about. It is the first thing I fixed on my Z when I got it. I already had aluminum handlebars (1st suggestion) I then added "Grip Puppies" which are foam covers that slip over your stock grips and for $10.00 they are worth it. Next and the best mod was a product called a "Vibranator". I got the ones with the barend weights since adding weight does reduce vibrations.

I hope this helps answer a few questions so you don't have to spend hours and hours reading how all bike vibrate no matter what anyone says.

weights of the handlebars are not stock, maybe too light. this can cause vibration?
thanks for your opinion !

my 04 is good at 5,000 rpm. above 80and under 60 it is about the same as other sport bikes i have owned. my kawa ZRX was worse. bolts were always getting loose. no loose bolts on the ZED.

yes.. I have heard of guys packing the handlebars full of BB's, and I have also heard heavier bar end weights help.
