Mine has vibrated on PR4s and Z8s. It's engine related vibration.

Yeah, don't think it's tyre related.

Not every bike has this problem. Therefore, it's not necessarily the same cause on bikes that do. The experience of others does not necessarily apply to you.

If it's not linked to RPM, then you should still think frame, alignment, wheels, and tires.

Good luck in diagnosis. (If I were you, I would hope the problem goes away with the next tire change....)

If you don't find the cause, and the tire change brings no relief, there's guys who diagnose this stuff for a living.

Remember to have fun.

On my bike it's got nothing to do with the tyres, it's a harmonic vibration at specific engine revs which manifests itself through the seat. Not really an issue because I don't generally spend much time cruising at 90 - 100 mph!

Similar. Cruising on a motorway in the UK and increasingly abroad is done at 80-85mph as you are unlikely to be prosecuted through the surveillance technology now becoming ubiquitous. The only exception would be a German autobahn where I might be cruising at about 110mph as the RS seems comfortable there.

90mph is a transient speed used for a short period during an overtake or heading to a higher cruising speed in Germany. Plus of course for those moments on a private road in the UK where one can enjoy the bike at or close to Vmax.

I'm with Ray B. on this one. If it's engine vibration driving the problem, then you should be able to reproduce it at different speeds by gear selection. How's the bearings on your final drive?

I can replicate in other gears, that's why I know it's engine speed related!
