    Around 900 RPMs

    Mine does the same thing at about 8000 rpm. Mine is the clutch lever vibrating. Reach out with with your left fingers and put pressure on your clutch straight down (towards the ground). That should cause the vibration to stop. It doesn't bother me anymore. I figured it out by searching...

    Help, new rider tech question.

    A friend of mine told me the same thing but I haven't got it yet. Yea, it is working now and I don't shift to 1st until under 15 mph. I was only trying to slam it in because it wasn't working. Usually I kind of push down with my foot firmly.

    The amazing rush

    Ok, so here is the story. I've never owned a street bike. I did have a dirt bike for about a year but I've never had a street bike or gone on a real ride. Last season I rode my buddy's FZ6 and I was hooked. So I went to the Yamaha store and they had a used '06 FZ6 that I fell in love with...
