i never thought there was much vibration in the KDX to begin with
are you using brush gaurds at all ?
because if you are not you can add some anti vibration block to the existing handlebars, they just bolt right into the bar ends, just like you would mount the gaurds
it may be a cheaper fix then replacing the bars

Years ago I tried anti-vibration bar inserts on my XR650R, didn't notice any difference.
Here's a newer version that's getting good feedback..

If I can't do it, I'm sure someone else can!

best thing you could do is ease up on your grip

Greetings,
Flexx Bars are a great addition to any bike, as the lessen impacts both on the downward and upward travels of the bar ends. While I've not experienced handlebar vibrations on my KDX, if you are, you can add these vibration dampening inserts to you Flexx Bars:

Had a set of inserts, at first it felt like they helped, but when I removed them, really could not tell any differencektm950se wrote:Greetings,
