Default Another vibration question

Bikes running excellent and vibes are "normal". If I shut engine off for a short period of time, gas up, there is no vibrations for the first few miles and then reverts to the everyday vibes. Any ideas why or what causes this and how could I make this the norm?

More than likely one of the tables in the ECM, that govern timing/fuel-air mixture on startup. Unless you have a tuner, you can't touch them... and even if you did... you need to make sure you're not screwing things up.

(?)
I truly can't even understand the question or issue/problem (?)
Basically the bike vibrates normally,(?) then it doesn't,(?) then it does do the normal thing again?
You haven't got a lot of responses to this because I'm sure most are as lost as I am,,,
I have no idea why putting gas in would stop the vibration,, the normal vibration that is.
