Question zx6r vibration

I was learning to clutch up wheelies one day, and on the way back from the parking lot I noticed a weird vibration in the grips. This quickly spread to the rearsets and the rest of the bike. I had to get a new valve cover gasquet, and when I got that fixed I had them check out the vibrating. The dealer said it was normal, but it is not, and it has gotten worse, any suggestions?? The whole bike is buzzing now!

oh boy... take it to the dealer right away. thats probably the result from doing wheelies and clutch up. dont tell that you were doing wheelies just have them check it out

you may wanna chech to make sure the rear axle is still in straight. doin wheelies may have shifted it cause your tire to be crooked. i dont know if that would cause the bike to vibrate, but its the first thing to came to my mind.

Kawis all vibrate more than the other jap bikes for some reason....but I'd check for loose motor mounts or a cracked frame somewhere just in case.

If you've been doing wheelies & setting it down hard you might want to check the roundness of the front wheel as well as the balance of the tire.

Yeah me to. I know its not the tires because I just got new tires put on (michelin pilot powers,,,they're rad) anyway mine does it in neutral when I rev it up so I am pretty sure its an engine issue. How bout you?

kawis vibrate.....once you start getting miles on them they vibrate more.

My hand controls vibrate and sometimes make my hands go numb, but every other Kawi I've ridden has been the same exact way.
