Vibration

Just passed 2,000 miles and I have, what I would consider, a lot of engine vibration on my 08 Nomad. Especially in 5th gear under full throttle or hard acceleration. I'm not lugging it, talking about rolling hard on the throttle at 3000-3500+ RPM.
Smooth at steady RPM. Only feel it under acceleration.
Normal for a Kawasaki?
I can feel it throughout the bike, grips, feet, seat.
