*When you change the weight of the bar-end weights, you change the resonant frequency of the handlebars. Going to heavier bar ends will lower the frequency at which the bars buzz. This is not necessarily a good thing -- the buzz at 8k RPM is much harsher than 9k if you retune your bars there (~10 oz weights handily accomplish this; avoid 10 oz). | |||
*There is a set of bar ends from [http://www.murphskits.com/buzzless.htm MurphKits] for the Kawasaki Concours that are adjustable. They have an O ring that sits between the bar end weight itself and the bars. You vary the tightness of the center screw or bolt to change the rpm range where the bar ends become effective. These will most likely work on the 250, but contact them before you order. | *There is a set of bar ends from [http://www.murphskits.com/buzzless.htm MurphKits] for the Kawasaki Concours that are adjustable.
