I sold my last fazer mainly due to the vibes, I tried everything, TPS adjustment, loosening the engine mounts, balancing carbs etc. I even bought a new front engine cradle to replace the rubber mounts, nothing worked. I sold it and bought a Pan Euro, sold that and I bought another fazer last year and it's the best of the 3 I've had, almost completely smooth at all revs. It seems you can get a good or bad one when it comes to vibration levels.
One thing I did notice was that sometimes the vibes were really bad, I could stop for fuel and when I set off again it was much smoother, this could also work in reverse I.e. It'd be smoothish, then I'd stop then the vibes would appear when I set off again. Just couldn't figure it out. It was definitely engine related because if I rode at any speed and pull the clutch in the vibes disappeared completely, let the clutch out and bring the revs up again the vibes were back.
Hope you sort something out.
