As for the vibs, if its only happened after you go new tyres get them re-balanced. Some times guys balance them and dont do the job properly or they put on the lead weights and they fall off down the road, in effect not doing any balancing of your tyres.

if that doesnt work, try loosening the bolts hold the bars/footpegs on and starting the bike up, and tightening the bolts back up again each a small bit at a time, ie not tightening one bolt fully up and then the other.
Many thanks i will try those things out
