second bike built poorly
After totaling my '06 at just under 1,000 miles, the '07 replacement (built within 30 days of the '06) exhibits engine vibration, sloppy shifting, no oil clattering noises on start up. Yes, it is full of clean oil.
The dealer has re-set the counterbalancers, and throttle body sync was perfect.
The bothersome vibration is a rocking motion as it comes up to 1,500 RPM that the first bike did not exhibit.
On my dime, we get to blueprint the motor and lose the bike for a couple months. . .
Any ideas?

possibly a bad spark plug,plug wire, or a fuel injector has a hang up at that rpm, i would not jump to the blueprinting just yet
hey its under warranty let them fix it, bet is is something small
run some injector cleaner through it, put good gas in take it for some extended high speed blasts and see if it clears
they do smooth out when they get broke in if you can keep it upright that long

smokin had a post on it before, you loosen the counterbalancer screw then tighten while its idling, its in the service manual

vibration is a rocking motion ?? I really don't get what you are talking about ..Mine has a rocking motion up to 1500 also but never felt it was a problem...Every zx14 that i have worked on felt the same way....I have not felt yours so i maybe totaly wrong ...Smokin..
