I've finished the break-in period, and now that I can really rev where I want I need to comment on the distinct and annoying seat vibration beginning at 7k all the way up to redline. It is annoying and intrusive-- I think I'm shifting too early in my hard accelerations because the seat (and butt and man parts) start vibrating. I've noticed that it doesn't seem to affect the mirrors-- I still can clearly see what is behind me. It only happens above 7k. Bike is completely stock. This is much worse than other bikes I've been on-- my previous bikes (FZ1 and FZ6) I could take to redline with virtually no tingle on the bum.
Three questions:
1) Anybody else have this problem? Is this something I need to talk with the dealership / Kawasaki regarding warranty?
2) Is this going to get better after the bike has more miles on it?
3) Anything I could do to fix? There was a thread about somebody putting rubber washers (or equivalent) on the pillion screws in order to isolate it from the frame. I understand that you can balance the air header somehow (even with fuel injected bikes) in order to balance out the cylinders (equivalent to balancing the carb bank on older bikes). Anything else?
Thanks in advance!
