2010 model
Well I did have the vibrations, enough to make me want to just park it up and walk away, but as it was a German import into Spain I lost any sort of warranty, so it was down to me.
So I just did what most dealers fail to do properly, went round and slackend/torqued back up every bolt as per the 1000km service, balanced the throttle bodies (well worth doing) etc, I did this again at 6000kms after the bike had seen a few 1000kms being ridden hard, and it really benefited from being pushed hard, difficult on this type of bike I know, but worth it. Now it has a tingle at the 6000 rev mark, and that's it, infact when cruising at the 5000 rev range it can feel too smooth! as if its coasting in neutral.
It is a difficult bike to 'break in', probably very hard to do in the UK with all the anti-bike pressure/cameras etc. I do have the luxury of good roads, weather etc and places where you can really stretch her legs!
Keep an eye on the chain tension, at 20/30mm of play it almost seems almost too tight but makes a world of difference, oem chain gets slack spots very easy, happened on all my Suzukis.
