Rear Vibration

Loving my new PCX... just hit the 200 mile mark. I'm probably being a bit picky but ever since I've had this, from taking off to about 35mph, there is a vibration somewhere in the rear. I fixed some of it by replacing the plastic plate cover the dealer had put on, but there is still some vibration. I suspect it is either the rear fender the plate is attached to or possibly the plastic exhaust cover, both of which I checked and are on solid.

While the sound doesn't affect the performance whatsoever, the vibration is sort of irritating, for such a high quality build. My Chinese scooter never had a rattle or vibration, so I would expect my honda to be quiet as a mouse.

Any input would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!

There are some characteristic vibrations at certain rpms.Could not be identified on most bikes.Hope yours is fixible.Could be the nature of the beast.If so you will get used to it.

Do a search here. There are many threads on vibration/ shudder at take off etc. Could be glazed clutch shoes, could be number plate shaking, ...You have to be as specific as you can when describing the symptoms. Post a video!
