Odd Vibration

You don't give them sugary candy like my childhood dentist. Still remember dad muttering something about the guy making his own business.
 
@Dr.D I would not expect this to cost you anything but the time it takes to get it fixed with the bike being so new.

Like the others, I am keen to know what the cause is and hope they find it.

I agree I seriously doubt there will be any costs to me. They may diagnose the problem quickly and I bet it will not cost much.

We are in coyote season now.

I treat my head mechanic and service writer very well and you might even consider this a bribe. It is also a little like a prepaid insurance plan. I do get some perks and special treatment there. Money talk and BS walks but if you combine the fiscal kindness with genuine friendship it makes for goos times and efficient service.
 

It's not difficult is it (combine the fiscal kindness with genuine friendship)
 
Funny, I had the same problem with my 2013 when brand new. Had about the same mileage, and all at once, while riding, a vibration came in. So bad, I pulled over, and had a look see, in case something was coming apart. Couldn't find anything by eye, so went home and called the dealer. Told them I was afraid to ride it, the way it was. They sent a trailer, took it to their shop, checked it over, test rode, and brought it back to me, saying they could not find anything wrong. I asked how fast did they go on the test ride. They said 60 mph, and that was the speed limit where they test. I told them it came in around 65 and up. They said nothing. And it's been there ever since. I guess I've gotten used to it, but it for sure went from butter smooth, to a buzz at 6500 and up (rev set to 6800) all at once. I have around 35,000 miles on it. I know, not much for a 2013, but I do have 5 other motorcycles, all tagged and running.
