I would check the bolt on the steering head. It might be loose causing you to get the vib's in your bars. Or you might have a wheel weight that may have come off or it could always be the road your riding on too. Hope this helps you out a little.

what about the engine mounts?I had the bike lowered about a month ago at the dealer. I installed frame sliders. Do you think they would possibly be a cause to the noise?

It's possible that it might be making you bike vib. I would just make sure everything it tight and take it out for a ride. Let us know here if it help.

I have to agree with Blue beast....Check every bolt and nut. Especailly since someone has messed with the bike. Double check the air pressure...If everything seems tight and up to par, that's what that warranty is for.... GL man..

I'm betting a tire is out of balance or the fork settings don't match.

The buzzing noise, very high possibility. I didn't read that part the first time.
