big vibration
Having an issue with my left hand going numb and and not my throttle hand; wierd. While riding the left side bar vibrates at all RPM, the right side as well but minimal. I've had two carb demounts and tunnings performed, the first kept the mixture very rich, as my mechanic was certain he would have to pull it apart again anyhow as I am having much bumping and kicking under accelleration; second mechanic put carbs to factory spec (still bumping and kicking) and now I cannot ride long before my hand starts to buzz. Anyone else ever have this issue? OH and now that I think of it, my right side heel guard is also vibrating roughly. Quite unlike the way it was a year ago, the bike was smooth, in all regards... Any thoughts on that one?
While I'm at it, the real issue with my carbs is that it runs WAY rich. 150 vs 200 km to a full tank, mechanics are baffled for the moment (in depth service in a weeks time), has anyone ever had a bike that drank gas this way? It's driving me crazy!

Either get a girlfriend or get your carbs balanced. No, I'm not talking about eating bread from Whole Foods or a macro-biotic diet. Either way, the stress on your left wrist and hand will abate.

hi guys i wonder what kind of vibrations can cause out of sync carbs.
i got some strange vibration when imm going over 5 rpm.
my both hands are going numb after 20 min of riding but i assumed that that is just because my arms are weak. as time goes by my hands are getting stronger and used to push-pull struggle with hawk.
btw. what is the max. fuel consumption to expect from hawk.
i ride it partly aggressive partly on low rpm through city crowded streets, and my drinks 10 liters per 100km or 23,4miles per gallon is that to much.

Sounds like you are jetted way rich. 23mpg is really bad, While I don't get the mileage that some can with mine I still average 36mpg.
I can get it down to 27-29mpg or maybe a bit lower but that is wringing her neck at 7-9k RPM for the entire time.
Also an excessive rich mixture will cause the vibration you are feeling as the cylinders are not firing on every power stroke.
