I know this sounds stupid, but a couple weeks ago we chased a vibration for a couple hours over a three day period. Had the fairing off 3 times checking everything twice and could not find anything. You know what it ended up being? The push-button for the fuel door that replaces the lock. The last thing we checked. I finally took it out for a ride and just started grabbing everything in site. It was driving us nuts......Does it have the push button? Just checking!

I seem to have a vibration in my front fairing right around 3k rpm.....it almost sounds like valvetrain noise but it's definitely not. Something must be loose and vibrates enough to create a valvetrain like noise just in a narrow rpm band.
It goes away if rpms drop or raise but it vibrates right in the 3k range which seems to be where I am a lot.
Is this a known issue? Any thoughts? I've tried pushing on all of the plastic pieces as I ride to see if I can find it but so far no luck.

Looks exactly like the ones on my '09 SG.......Then again after looking harder, it's not...I have the top, old style bracket...Guess I have to wait for them to break before getting the new and improved model!!!
