I am a new two stroke owner thanks to the purchase of my first 3 wheeler ('84 tecate) and man do thase handlebars vibrate when she gets a wrappin'. Is there anything I can do to deaden the vibration other than slowing down? :?

somehow I knew that I would get that reply. I was also wondering what some of the causes of plug fouling where and could plug gap be one of them?

welcome to tecate ownership the vibration is a tradmark...seriously yes there is some minor help avalible they range from expensive (buy a 250R) to costly (buy pro-taper type handlebars) to cheap (barsnake. it slides inside the handle bars to lession vibrations). the more money you spend the less it vibrates. but two stroke vibrate more then four strokes

You could try filling the last 6 inches of each bar end with silicone. It will kill some of the vibes...

Yes, as MRATC has said already, vibration is Tecate characteristic. I run a thicker grip on mine which helps also I think. Pro-grip dual sports. I also run them on my Tri-Z.

Tecate's vibrate so bad because they don't have a counter balancer in the engine.
