Recently started noticing a grinding noise and vibration coming out of my 2012 Diavel. The noise comes and goes like a "wave" and will speed up or slow down based on engine RPM. The noise and vibration will happen with the clutch pulled in and the RPMs above 3k, but it's not as pronounced as when the clutch/drivetrain is engaged.

I do feel the wave of vibration more in the left peg as it goes from mild to a bit stronger then fall back down to mild and repeats.

I've always noticed the bike had a variable hum that would rise and fall, but the noise is getting more of a "grind" to it.

The bike does have full Termi, with Upmap. Bike is at 14k miles. All previous services done on time. No error codes or anything from the ECU being displayed. Temps stayed in range with the fan kicking on above 200 degrees.

Lastly, I did check the oil level immediately after getting home (engine temp was 215) and the oil level is in-between the top/bottom markers. I checked the oil level when cold and it's at the same level..... Which I thought might be odd as I would have guessed that more oil would be pulled up into the engine and it should have registerd a lower level?????

Can't get the bike in till the 23rd, so figured I'd ask around if anyone's seen or heard of such issues while I wait.

Thanks!
