Default irritating vibration shake while riding


I'm still trying to adjust to my F4 and the first thing I noticed when hoping on this bike before I bought it is the minor irritating shake on the handle when riding it, which I thought it isdue to the harder suspension set up.

I have never encountered this type ofshake in my previousbikes andI thought twins engines shake but my F4 gives me a tingling sensation in my hands and sometimes feet after each longish ride? I've set the suspension for a more road friendly and I also had new Michelin Pilot Powers fitted and balance.

Is this a character of the F4?
If so, any suggestions to reduce this rather annoying issue?

Have the tires balanced. See if that fixes the issue.

like others have said, balance your tires, make sure your tires are straight (aligned)and check your motor mount bolts for proper torque

I have noticed this happening on my bike as well. I think in my case it is due to it being laid down before.
