Did you open the primary?  Loose primary chain will cause LOTS of bad vibes.  While your in the primary check your alternator and stator mount bolts as well as the clutch basket components.  Sounds like a likely culprit to me if it happens at approximately the same engine rpm and goes away when the clutch is engaged.

Also dont forget to check the final drive chain tension.

No matter where you go, there, you are.

@ 1blackwolf1 i checked the startor even temporarily disabled the starter by replacing the starter gear.and there seems to be no problem with the clutch basket...as soon as i re assebled the old starter gear there is a bit of rubbing and a sound like tak tak coming from the primary case.mine has run about 15000 miles i get the vibration very heavily...like my watch starts vibrating around my wrist..!!

@ ICE the final chain is according to the prescribed tension.

Please help me out guys..!!

  Sounds like something in the clutch to me then.  The split type basket and the retainer ring aren't awe inspiring.  I had quite a bit of squawking after a sprag clutch was replaced..I disassembled the whole works and cleaned up the disks and friction plates.  And also installed three heavy and three normal springs.  I get the noise once in a great while now.  Like when I need to change the primary fluid.  You may also have a loose bolt behind the primary drive pulleys (alternator/clutch) and that could cause the noise/vibes you are feeling.

  Let me know if this helps.

  Will.

I've noticed that when the revs build-up I can hear sharp vibrations from the rear suspension springs. Did anyone else notice this?

I shall take a video if possible to demonstrate.

BOY!  I WAS JUST THINKING ABOUT MY WEDDING DRESS THE OTHER DAY!---------NOT!

The stupidity of these SPAM'ers that sneek in here amazes me.
One would think that they would at least look around to see who they are SPAMMING to before they post their crap.
