2 week old Rocket is this normal

[Kenny]

So I've had my Rocket for 10 days now. I have been driving it to work every day and it keeps wanting to go off track when I get to the turn off to work. I have the same problem when going home I go out the base gate and instead of the bike going toward home I find myself turning in the wrong direction. I'm supposed to be going home but instead I'm out on some road at the mercy of rapid speed. This is a real problem as my after work commute has gone from a ten minute drive to a two hour speed fest. I would appreciate any advise that people may have on this tracking issue.

Unfortunatly this is a common issue with the Rocket . I've had to use up all my sick days simply because mine refuses to turn up at work but instead lures me onto some twistie stretch of secluded road .

Ive had mine for 3 years now and use it every day.. your not alone its medical name is Rocketitus and there is no immediate cure available as far as I know

If you contract the advanced condition you find yourself wondering why you are standing in the garage starring at it for no apparent reason

Worse is to come when the wife is asking if you if you both can go for a ride to see the sunset or a 100 km trip for a coffee and cake...not to mention the silly grin that gets outa control.

Its a hell of a life been a rocket owner suffering from Rocketitus..

Take care not to let the beast bite you.... respect is a Must !!!

My bikes still has this problem.. after 72K miles.. You would think after it got broke in that this problem would go away, but it doesn't. And every once in a while it gets worse!

Dennsel, I think I've got this Rocketitus thing bad. I've got the stupid grin thing going for sure, and it gets worse every time i hit the throttle. Now I'm at work posting on this stupid board.

I also have had that problem... I found that blindfolding the Rocket confuses it and forces it to solely obey your every command........ ( Works pretty good on Mrs Rktnmypkt as well!)

Rocketitus

I bought mine a few weeks ago from a dude who lived 30 miles away, on the way home I would have preferred it was 130!
