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

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.
