This might or might not be your problem, or the fix, but if you have a set of wrenches and sockets, it won't cost you anything.
I had a bike that would "drone" only when the engine was running at 2000 RPM to 2300 RPM.
It turned out it was a loose exhaust pipe mounting.
Not so loose that I heard a rattle, but rather "Mechanical Resonance" (here's a "cut and paste" definition - "
Mechanical resonance is the tendency of a
mechanical system to absorb more energy when the
frequency of its oscillations matches the system's natural frequency of
vibration than it does at other frequencies. It may cause violent swaying motions and even catastrophic failure in improperly constructed structures including
bridges, buildings, trains, and aircraft. When designing objects,
engineers must ensure the mechanical resonance frequencies of the component parts do not match driving vibrational frequencies of motors or other oscillating parts, a phenomenon known as
resonance disaster.")
So go over EVERY nut and bolt you can get to and see if any are loose, and tighten them if found, and try it out.
