Ok now that I'm in front of my computer...
I have done the following:
Rotella T5 oil (what I had laying around)
Loosen all engine bolts, blip throttle once or twice, tighten to spec.
Loosen/tighten exhaust
New spark plugs (CR9EK) (now properly gapped)
2006 coils, leads, caps (with copper wire in the leads fanned out and caps securely tightened)
chain lube
Sitting still in neutral, my vibes are barely noticeable at 4k. At 6.2k there's a noticeable, high frequency vibration that ramps up to 8k and then stays the same until redline. It's most pronounced in the bars, but I can feel it in the pegs and to a lesser extent on the tank. Never ever on my butt - the seat has enough dampening to erase them.
I can live with this, since I don't think there's anything else I can do. I had a great ride yesterday evening and after two hours my hands were absolutely fine. And thanks to the upright riding position my back was fine, too.
I really like this bike...it would be nice if it was as smooth at 6k as it is at 3k. It's my first 600 and a commuter at that, so I don't have much to compare it to.
