1) Tachs in the UK seem to do this more. I dunno why

 

2) Clean and tighten the shift linkage; consider Redline Shockproof gearbox oil.

 

3)Agood tune up works miracles on these bikes. See the pinned thread on TPS above. That said, the vibes under 4500 have really started to bother my hands. More and more I'm riding at 5000 rpm; the bike seems happier and my hands are , too.

I think the tachs do it all over. At least mine did and I live in the southern US. Do a search for drilling tach. That fixed my problem.

Ok, scratch that search, I just tried and couldn't find it. I know I was here somewhere. Ratch, you got a clue?
