Default 2014 200 EC Vibrates

When I pin this bike, there seems to be lots of vibration especially where I grip. Anyone else have this issue? After riding for a while, my hands are numb, however in the lower RPM, there is no problem. Thanks for your help.

I would check engine mounts for proper tightness/torque first. If they're good and tight then loosen them all at the same time and then retorque to correct spec, including the swing arm pivot

As above is correct, also start rye torquing at the swing arm and move forward.

Use a sharpie pin and mark your torqued bolts to see if they loosen over time.
