Did you perform the 'vehicle alignment' or just tighten the rear motor mount bolt? This may help somewhat: loosen (do not remove) all motor mount bolts, run bike for 5 seconds and then torque all motor mount bolts to spec. Search engine alignment on this site for other fixes.

My 2003 Manual says to loosen ALL the mounting bolts on the engine isolators.
Clymer says the same & to lower the bike and run the engine for 5 seconds with the tires on the ground. In this way the engine will seat into the frame.

Motor alignment done, by loosening bolts and running engine, and tightening according the torques required. rear brake discs are 0.3 degrees offset from each others, so it is within acceptable tolerances.
Now on jiffy when twisting throttle, whole rear vibrates heavily. Saddlebag supports whines, like triangle, they do vibrate a lot sideways. Whole rear seems to vibrate oval movement . When on road, car lights on rear mirror moves from top left to bottom right on my mirror. Foot pegs shakes on low rpm heavily... Now at least it doesnt vibrate through whole range, its just first half of rpm range.....
Im not satisfied. May this be caused, due front mount is older than rear. Should they be changed same time??
