1987 K75s with 34000k.
The problem, or is it?: Shaking/buzz kind of thing at low revs 1500-2500 rpm with either the clutch in or out. It's not very strong; I don't feel it in the handle bars, but more on the foot pegs. It occurs consistently. But, there's no buzz once the rpms are out of that range. I just started noticing it about 50 miles ago.
Hypothesis #1: I replaced the clutch and bell housing 400 miles ago. I didn't have a big enough torque wrench to put PN 15 to spec (I forget the value, but it was pretty high and I tightened it till I couldn't move it no mo'). Could that be it? From what I've read, it being loose causes a BIG shake and is noticeable across the rpm range. What I have is just a buzz.

Hypothesis #2: Paranoia. It could have always been like this and I'm just being more attentive to it now. Also, I have recently been doing more slow in-traffic riding than ever. Normally, I would just shift through this rpm range. Also, having never ridden another K, I've got nothing to compare it too.
Thanks,
Michael
