The bike is a 2001 B600. Great little steed. About 30,000 miles and I do all the maintenance. She's about 3000 miles since valve adjust and carb sync.

Lately I've noticed an increase in vibes at all RPMs. Nothing huge, but noticable. Enough to be annoying.

So, let's do another carb sync.

Everything was just as I left it. All in sync. Headers warmed up equally, no unusual noises. All the engine mount bolts are in place and tight.

Anyone else been down this road before? What am I missing?

(Or is my lil' Bandit telling me to get that V-Strom?)

How are the chain and sprockets? I'm getting some overall vibration too but figure with 35,000+ on the stock set-up it should quiet/smooth out with a new set. I'll bet my counter-sprocket looks like a ninja throwing star.....

I've eliminated the tranny/drive from the equation, since I have the same amount of vibes when in neutral as when rolling.

Crappy winter gas.
A fresh tank and a couple miles down the road and we're all better.

For future reference...
