Does she vibe a lot?

The bearings are C4 so some play is expected (on a cold engine particularly), but from your video sounds excessive.

My 2010 had the sealed mains mentioned above. They lasted 260hrs and were ok when pulled down but there wasn't a lot of lubrication left in them.

These engines are easy to work on. Given that she's a new bike to you think of it as foreplay! Crack her open and see how the slug and big end looks. A couple fresh mains and button her back up. You'll know where you're starting from and get many hours enjoyment from it.

Regards poor running, have a look in the carb..
