As mentioned in post #23, lighter pistons (equals increasing the balance factor) reduces the vertical vibration but the horizontal vibration stays the same. Reducing the vertical vibration is beneficial because your ass and your feet feel less of a buzz because of gravity pressing you down on the seat and pegs. This may be the reason that higher balance factors are recommended for solid frames. But you have to specify wet or dry BF. A wet balance factor of 65% equals a dry balance factor of 72% and so on.
