New owner here, picked up a black 2017 in December, finally got to put some miles on it yesterday. At idle I can feel some light rumbling in the bars and seat, goes away when the clutch lever is pulled. Anyone else seeing the same thing, is it a concern? I’ve never heard/felt this on past bikes. Love the bike, coming off of a Multi that I put 30k miles on.

I haven't particularly noticed anything like that, at least not out of ordinary.
My first check would be the idle. Make sure it's set to the proper range.
Are you through your break in yet? Considering you're still under warranty, maybe give it a few more rides for everything to seat properly and see if the issue still persists. Then take it in to get it checked out under warranty.
Probably wouldn't hurt to check all your fluid levels too. Oil and coolant.

Agee with redandblack. Check the basics.
How many miles do you have? Your clutch cable and chain will loosen quite a bit in the first 600 miles.
Is it a vibration or your hearing something rub? At what speed?

Thanks for the feedback. 260 miles, no oil change yet so I’ll give it some time and have the dealer look at it. It’s grabby as well, might just be that I’m used to the hydraulic clutch on my Duc and KTM. I can only feel the difference at idle

Sounds like it just needs to seat in a bit, wouldn't worry yet but mention it at the first service if a problem. My cable was abit "snatchy" for about the first thousand miles but seems to have settled in but that sounds like a different issue. Have to checked the handlebar adjustment to see if there is too much slack?

I’ll check the cable adjustment - the weather’s been so shitty it’s been tough to find time to ride at all, never mind sorting out the little new bike issues! Thanks
