Last week I took a ride from Texas to Michigan for family time.
Halfway there running Interstate my 2002 XII developed a vibration. When I would back out of the throttle, aka while slowing for semi's crossing my lane, it would start a 'deeper' lower freq vibration different that the straight cut gears vibes-noise.
When I would stop for a rest area or gas the vibration was gone till another 'Back off the throttle' slow down.
At first it could go away after a few miles but return with the throttle backing off in gear.
Now it comes on after riding it for over 20 minutes.
I thought maybe the u-joint but it seems more motor/trans location to me.
Something in the clutch system?

Re: Odd vibration to me.
It does change some when clutch is disengaged. It concerned me enough to rent a Penske and haul it home on the off chance of something breaking on the way home.
It was more in the 2800-4,000rpm range. I did adjust the counter balance shafts.
