Mike, if your bike don't vibrate at speed then you ain't riding a Rocket!

By 'take up the free play' I think you're saying bring in the clutch lever slightly. This means you're disengaging the engine from the transmission a tad, which relieves stresses that could be causing excessive vibration, most likely because of a bearing in the transmission going bad or excessively worn transmission parts. Not saying you have a bad bearing or tranny, but if your vibration is extreme then it is a high probability. Your dealer should be able to determine if the vibration you experience warrants further inspection.
