I have yamaha FZR 600. Its chain is making strange noises, and I can feel miner vibration in the foot rest as well. Its not a continuous vibration, but it comes at a perticular stage of the tire revolution. I tightened it reasonably, and lubed it as well. It got better, but is still there.
I will appreciate your help.
Thank you.

You "tightened it up reasonably". Sorry, but it sounds like you don't know what you're doing.
Every bike has it's own specific chain slack specs.
And it should be adjusted at the tight spot of the chain.
Jack up the bike to get the rear wheel of the ground , or put it on a race stand.
Turn the R wheel and check the chain tension the entire length of the chain.
Purchase a shop manual for the specs and the correct procedure.

Any tight & loose spots, the chain should be replaced.
Check the F&R sprockets, any ware or hooked teeth and it should be replaced.
Always change the chain and both sprockets at the same time, never change just one item. The new stuff will just ware out, to conform to the old crap.
The R sprocket, the spot furthest away from the F sprocket, pull the chain back away from the sprocket. If you can pull the chain 1/2 the hight of the sprocket's teeth, the chain is worn out and should be replaced.

I have the exact same bike and have never had such a problem.. Any chance you have a power commander on it? If so your low end fuel may not be giving enough, which should be the second setting on the commander.. If not, maybe it is a computer (ecu) problem, which really is something only a dealer can help with.. If you're the only owner you would know of the sprocket has been changed from stock so I doubt that would be it.. How long has it been doing this? Do you just need to give it a little more gas when you're starting out or doesn't that even work?

If you have a center stand or one of those swingarm lifter thingies, put your motorcycle up on it so you can turn the rear wheel with your hand. Do NOT have the engine running because you will cut off your fingers if you do.
Inspect the chain before it comes onto the rear sprocket. One of the links is stiff -- that is, rusted together with the following link. Move the links with your hands until you find the stiff one. When you find it, you can try applying more lube (if you use the thin stuff, or something like tri-flow) to that link, then "exercising" the stiff link back and forth by hand, wiping off the rust with paper towels. If it stubbornly remains stiff, then, yes, you need to replace the chain, because it'll cause unwanted wear to your sprockets if you don't.

one way to test your chain and see if it is worn out is by taking it off and then turn it sideways where you can hold it out and it will not fall down.use this to see how much it can bow over.then you can see how much slack are in between each of the links.if it bows pretty far you probally need another chain.which it sound like you do or you need to take yours off and let it soak in some oil.it could just be stiff,but my guess is it's worn out.remember you should oil your chain everytime before you ride.and also if you do buy a new chain you should check to make sure your sprockets are in good shape.if you don't you may be buying another chain again soon.check them for broken teeth or teeth that look curved as they go to the tip.if they're very pointy and arent somewhat flat on top then you'll need new sprockets as well.

you have a kink or bind in your chain. How old is the chain? Is it past time to replace?
what shape are the sprockets in? are they "hooked" do they need to be replaced also?
good info here

could be a kink in your chain.. have you ever laid down the bike? there's a chance the chain could be rubbing on your shifter linkage.. if this is the case get longer rearset bolts and use a nut as a spacer between the frame tabs and the rearset.. might just be time for a new chain.
