Vibration...And no, not from the bars.

Hi, recently ive been getting sevre vibes from behind the clocks and around that sort of area, it was only very slight when i got the bike in september and has gradually got worse, to the point were it now almost louder than the engine.
Any advise on how i could stop it would be good, and yes i rang the local yam dealer and tbh there were a bunch of apes that basically told me to live with it. which is appaling considering i spent 6k with them only a few months ago.
Also would be good to know if anyone has experienced the same problems and weather or not they may have sorted it.
Cheers
Ben.

Have you checked everything is tight? I had a similar problem on my XTX...problem was the screen was about 1-2mm off the fairing and vibrated like mad.

Find a quiet, straight stretch of road and when the buzzing/vibration starts, hold the screen with your hand, then try the fairing in various places, then the clocks.
Try holding each part of the bike you can safely reach in turn. When the buzzing stops you have found the loose part.
Trial and error really. As above, the screen on my XTX also vibrated, a small rubber washer under the screen cured it.
Could be a loose mudguard, fork shrouds, radiator etc. Shouldn't be too hard to track it down.
