BMW mechanic said it is normal, but he only took a 5 minute ride. I did 600 km and my arms and hands are numb and lost sensibility. The vibrations are very annoying, it is like BUZZZ, like mosquitos trying to fly out of your skin.
ok, I've found a few videos here on youtube where some people (not speaking english) say about too many vibrations on BMW F800 GS when going over 5500 rpm..
however - they say - 5500 rpm in higher gears are more than rpm required to keep a cruising speed
The vibrations are independent from the handlebar, present on frame, pegs, seat also.
Accelerometers will be producing numbers shortly. Please don't take it as shouting. IT IS NOT THE VIBRATION INTENSITY (amplitude?), IT IS THE FREQUENCY THAT IS ANNOYING. I can not ride for more that 20 minutes at more than 5000 RPM without feeling like my teeth are going to fall out. I will be back with the numbers.
It hasn't developed the vibrations they are all like that. I put some lead shot from a diving shop into my handlebars and this has cured a lot of the vibes :)
It seems like 5500 rpm shouldn't be a sustained rpm level for most riding. I'm not sure what speed that would be in 6th, but it seems high to me.
