More alarmingly I have just checked and the chain has stretched so much in that time that the rear wheel will have to be set back, check yours too.
Vibration and chain "stretch" at 1300 miles sounds like a drive chain beaten to death. Chains don't "stretch", they wear out due to lack of lubrication. Have you been riding in the rain? Lift the rear wheel and spin it by hand, does it buzz, is the right amount of slack there, with no kinks?

No only ever in the dry and I have kept the chain lubricated well. At 4,000 miles now and the swingarm bearings and rear wheel bearings are in for warranty replacement as they are shot.
