12 plate gs 1200 with 2 thousand miles on the clock,In 3rd or 4th gear around 4 k revs at about 40 mph ish I seem to get a lot of vibration through the footpegs, (seems worse through the left footpeg) It feels like the vibration is like pulsing through the pegs as if its coming from something that is rotating,The vibration isnt as pronounced at higher speeds but does not seem right to me,This is not my first GS so im quite used to their character any suggestions would be appreciated.Oh and yes i spoke to the dealer and they have asked me to take the bike in for them to check but I would like opinions please.cheers in anticipation.
 
It can be hard to isolate fault vibration from the other vibes. The FD is easy to check here are a lot of posts about it on here. Search my old post "inside my FD" and check yours.
 
have a search and you will find out its quite common. Chunky tyres and a vibey bike these all seem to end up in the bike resonating right around the same revs as yours is. Mine has done it since I got it and the FD is still intact so I doubt it has anything to do with that.
