sometimes the vibration would go away for a week or so then come back for maybe a day,,,, this is flat road riding in the hills i never use 6th ..too many rpms most of the time...4 back tires in 17000 miles & two front.... wife thinks i should slow down... lotsa luck honey

It sounds electrical.

Check the easy stuff first like fuses and loose wires.

When it acts up is it especially hot out or does it do it at any time?

On the shifter, you can remove the top cover on the tranny and see if maybe the spring on the pawl has broken...did you say it was stuck in gear?

Don't want to make you think your ECM is going bad, but I had some speedo issues and spitting / coughing that I could not find...right before the ECM went out.

I replaced with a Thundermaxx so it was a good excuse to spend $1k!
