Arrow Engine idle vibrations

I had my valves adjusted yesterday and I'm not sure if I just never noticed it before but I can feel the engine vibrating slightly when I'm sitting at idle(800-900rpm). It's a slight vibration that doesn't seem unusual but its strange that I would have never noticed before. My question is do any of you ap2 owners feel the engine vibrating when you're sitting idle in traffic?

Thanks in advance

I can feel my engine vibrating while at stop lights or in stop and go traffic (at idle). If you think its vibrating more than it should try taking a look at your motor mounts, bad mounts could do that to or real stiff motor mounts.

I put a bucket and its even more noticeable then with the OEM seat. I wouldn't worry about it though some vibrations are normal.
