Hello, I just bought an '04 and now have 2500 miles on it. I have read about the vibration in the engine at about 4500 rpm and how that seems to be common and I do have this issue too. However, it seems like my bike is getting somewhat worse and not better. I would have thought that the engine would start to smooth out more rather than become more buzzy. Anyone else have this issue where the vibes seem to get worse with more miles ? Is it just going through a phase (Ihope) ? I can't think what the reason would be. I noticed the other night that the oil was a little low too- down to the 'L' mark before I topped it off. I am assuming that the engine will burn a little oil the first few thousand miles like my BMW did.
I've been trying to guess as to what else might magnify the engine vibration such as a 90% worn rear tire or chain issues or something but it really just seems to be coming from the engine itself. I would like to hear from anyone else that might have experience with this.
Thank you, mike
