Default 1k tuneup

I was out riding yesterday since we were blessed with 65 degree weather and I noticed a pronounce buzzing and vibration felt through the floorboards. I have around 900 miles on my 08 SG and am getting ready for my 1k tuneup and was wondering if they check engine mounts etc. Is this normal that maybe a mount worked its way loose? BTW it was occurring at around 2500-3000 rpms

If your dealer is doing the service... just make sure you tell them about your experience. Give them a list of things you would like them to check. If they are any good... they will add to the list.

Definitely give them a list and hopefully like Billiam92407 says they will not only do the service (1K) and the list, but find some other stuff too.

Thanks for the replies. It may just be that I haven't ridden in like a month or so and I had the OL on the back. Was just wondering if anybody else experienced this buzzing in the floorboards
