Anybody know if the engines are different at all, with regard to cam timings and balancing from the previous ones?
They added a slight variation to the valve timing for a characteristic burble. I thought that was on the 2017 and onward models also but another member pointed out the camshaft part number is the same throughout so it had always been there. I don't think that is the cause of the vibration though. My EX does vibrate at those mid revs but not in a way that it bothers me but then I would not do a lot of motorway type riding either.
