Is the bar end loose?

Could be anything but if it was on the bike I would think you would feel it in both bars

Tried that is tight ATM am just keeping it above 6k RMP as a temporary fix ....

Am gunna pull the crash knob bracket of or maybe up next I think it may be vibrating on the headers???...

1000's will vibrate more than 600's. Around 5-6K RPM it could just be the harmonic resonance that can happen with some bikes. Unusual that you would only feel it on one side though.

open up the bar end, grab a small pack and stick a whole bunch of small ball bearings in it and put the lot back together. Problem solved. Had this issue on the 06 as soon as i rode it. Pick this trick up from the guys in the US.

You will find its the throttle cables causing the right hand numbing
