Warfarin ?

Or, more seriously......
Check tightness of engine mounting bolts.
Change bars/pegs to alter the load on your hands.

Despite being a twin, the magic of 90 degrees means that monsters shouldn't vibrate to any significant effect.

And welcome, neighbour.

Do check that the bar-end weights are secure - I have an S2R800 and was surprised to find one of them (the left I think) was so loose it could have dropped out. I've read that a routine check of all fixings to check that they are tight is good practice!
Also worth paying attention to is your grip on the bars - could it be too tight? Try relaxing your hold on the bars if it is!

All the best, Martin.
