Lightbulb 2009 V Star 650(537.2 miles on speedo.) High idle & viberation at 45 mph+

Well, the title says it all. After warm-up idle increases when I stop. Viberation could be a floating valve or loose shrouding somewhere up front. Are those plastic valve Covers?????? Doesn't feel like metal. Last bike I had was a GL1000. Ran very smooth. My 1936 VLD Harley, that viberated (lost 10#s in the 12 years I rode it. The V Star is supposed to be smoooth. What gives? Also it has a habit of popping out of first gear at stops?????
It is schedualed to have it's 600 mile check-up next Friday. Any thoughts before then???
