Thumbs down vibration?

hey guys, i have looked at the other posts regarding odd vibrations and i still don't have an idea. so here it is, i've got an odd virbration that isn't allways present, seems like i pick it up in third, and gets worse as you are on the throttle, it is also present when off the throttle and decelerating. it also goes away when the clutch is pulled. any ideas? i went for about a 4 hour ride last sunday and it wasn,t there, but yesterday and today i noticed it. any help is appreciated, thanks.

If it goes away when the clutch is engaged, it has to be in the motor or drive train.

Could the shim for the clutch lever itself be missing. Does it happen when your hand is steadying the lever?

Did you check maybe all the mounts to see if any of them are going bad or have gone bad?

Have you given any thought to it being the inner primary bearing ? Hope it isn't but it is a possibility.
