I've got a 2020 R1250GS that's seen gentle highway and commuting miles, about 7,500. The dealer did the first service, I've done all since. I recently did the oil, final drive oil, and the rear spline check/lube. No rust or issues to speak of. I had a slight vibration, but there were also some super cupped tires from highway use and nothing else to speak of. I went and got new tires put on, and upon installing the wheels, there's more of a vibration under load. No play in the rear wheel, no loose spokes, and no shake in neutral coasting at any speed. Clearly it's something in the driveline, but what am I missing here?
My plan is to tear it apart and check the rear caliper, pivot bushing, front splines, and so on, but this is a little baffling to me.
