Default Really need some help here please!..

2016 Roadster.., in need of some help... I have a vibration at 3,000 rpm's, I've checked my motor mounts, replaced spark plugs, checked intake bolts... the only thing I found was that my belt was to tight, adjusted it and change the tranny fluid, found a lot of metal on the plug, so I'm thinking a tranny bearing but a friend tells me he thinks cam bearings causing vibration. Any help on this would be much appreciated.. only 7,000 miles on bike

Do you feel it the same in any gear at 3K ?
Could it be tires ?
