Vibrate or stall? It must be screaming about then in both gears, I think that is about where the governor should kick in.

If I'm understanding correctly...you're shifting to second at 30, then into third at 50. (Not 2nd at 50.)

Higher RPMs usually smooth things out. I've found myself approaching 70 on an on-ramp while in 3rd if I'm opening her up. What sort of vibration?

If I'm understanding correctly...you're shifting to second at 30, then into third at 50..maybe

45....... but that is correct...i had a cbr1000rr 2004 and sold it for my harley..i was told

that the red line was at 6000.. i was told it could handle it with no problem. i was also told

that harley vibrate at high rpm. just wanted to be sure...if people upgrade to stage 1 or 2 or

3 the motor must be good enough for a beat once in a while....i must not be the only doing it

with all the upgrade everyone is doing on this site...

I can say one thing about fat bob's and vibration, although I notice it more at slow speeds, and not under power, the friggin snow tires that these things came with have a tendency to vibrate like you're going over a cattle grate, but like I said, mostly at slower speeds, and not while on the gas, IMHO

No the vibration is not normal check the front motor mount, there is a thread in the dyna section about faulty motor front mounts on dynas.
