Fixed my vibration between 4k-5.5k RPM
After owning my FZ1 now for nearly 3 weeks for me it is the perfect bike apart from the vibration I was getting between 4k-5.5k RPM that was so loud I couldn't hear the exhaust or the engine.
This was starting to annoy me so I searched this forum and found a post that said the problem was with the triangle vent above the clocks and to fix it you needed to remove the screen, remove the triangle, fix some extra padding behind where the triangle vent fits and then replace the triangle vent and screen. I thought surely it cant be that easy but I will give it a go, 10 minutes last night and it was done and on the ride to work this morning no vibration  I would like to thank the people on here that put in the time and effort to post the simple but effective fix

it's amazing how loud that thing vibrates. I think the windscreen helps reflect the sound right back at the rider.
