Been trying to diagnose a vibration that recently started with my 2006 VFR with 9800 miles on it. When the VTEC engages i get vibration through the seat. I wasn't this way in the past.
It is not chain related. If you pull in the clutch and rev it you can feel the vibration when the VTEC engnges.
Any ideas out there?
I haven't had the valves adjusted yet but may do a little more investigating on the problem.

I have 13.5k miles on my 07 and this just started for me too. I am really worried and will be taking to the dealer early next week(due to my current distance from dealer) unless someone can point me in the right direction.
To add mine also starts with VTEC and goes away when I roll off unless I down shift and hit over 9-10k RPM to pass or something then even after going below 6000k RPM the vibration stays for a while then settles down.
But here goes, some vibration is normal, I mean, your engine is turning over 7000 times a minute. Does it do it with the bike in neutral or only while moving? Does it come only through the seat and not the pegs? What makes you think it's beyond normal vibrations? The more info we have, the better we can help.
I always get a slight vibration at 6700 or there abouts before the after burners ignite... This vibration is also present on the 5th gens too as I've taken many test rides (and owned a couple)
