I know there are alot of posts on this subject but I haven't found one that quite fits whats going on with my bike.
Bought a 2007 FZ6 brand new and just rolled over 36k on it. The last 2k its developed a significant vibration that was not there before. It vibrates at an idle (1200-1500 rpms), stops until you hit just over 6k, then starts again. The vibration shakes the entire front end of the bike.
The vibration is a feel and not a sound, not getting any new buzzes. When hitting 70-75 in 6th the mirrors are shaking bad enough I can't see anything behind me. Up until the last 2k the mirrors didn't shake until around 95-100. Going down the freeway hitting 80, pulling in the clutch and letting the rpms drop the bike goes completly smooth while maintaining that speed. While coasting you can play with the throttle and the vibrations start at the same time (just above 6k).
I've taken it into the dealer and they found a loose motor mount but that didn't fix anything. The mechanic took it for another ride and said I wasn't crazy, the vibration is there and its just odd. Listening to the bike everything sounds normal and he was amazed and how well it was running.
Since this has started I've changed the spark plugs (no change), realigned the rear tire/chain (no change) and combed the bike for loose nuts/bolts (no change).
Both me and the dealer are at a loss of what to do. This vibration has me thinking of selling the bike (yes its that annoying). Any advice would be greatly appreciated! Thankyou in advance.
