I have a 06 Roadking with 1300 miles. I am starting to notice an increasing vibration when I am decelerating using the engine. If I disengauge the clutch the vibration stops. Any suggestions ?

Gotcha, whenever I've felt a new vibration the first place I look is the top motor-mount... I broken a few mounts and the bolts over the years...
I've never had an over-filled primary so I wouldn't know about that but Tipper might have something there...
Have you tried dis-engaging the clutch But keeping the RPM's up..??

On de-cel, you dis-engage the clutch but at the same time you keep the RPM's up and the vibes cease... ??!!
My wild guess is that it's not the motor,,, yours too..??
Well, if I were faced with this prob I'd first check all mounting bolts, motor and tranny... With my front belts it's easier to check the whole primary system, so check your motor sprocket and the chain and chain tensioner, the clutch basket, pull the clutch plates/disks, always looking for looseness, clutch hub,,,,, lift the rear, spin the wheel listening and looking and feeling for anything wrong,,, reach up to feel the tranny pulley and gently spin the wheel... There are no phantom problems,, there is always a reason, you'll find it,, elimination is the game now baby,,, unless of course somebody can nail it with that magic answer...
I've never let a prob whip me,, you do the same...
Or of course, since it's an '06, ah, you know, you could take it to the dealer and let them dick with it...
