A hand tool resting against the casing while running through idle thru full throttle settings should easily identify any excessive vibration. A good method of keeping track of the heath of your bearings is to pay attention to the cooling cycle; if the rotor assembly sounds noisy or the time it takes the rotor to come to a stop after starter disengagement changes significantly, you may want to have the engine checked for imbalance or worn bearings.
