Is your chain nice and clean (and oiled) and no tight spots. ?
Rear wheel correctly aligned, and the chain not too tight ?
All the engine bolts tight ?
Carbs been synchronised lately ??
Tires/wheels rotate smoothly (off the ground), with no rough feeling spots, and no large chunks of rubber, or wheelweights, missing. ?

Vibes are not always what you expect....
