2020 R3 GT rear vibration (50 to 60 mph...ish)

Found my issue on this forum and helped dealer zero in on troubleshooting and replace rear tire and wheel. Tire was most definetly "out of round."

Just wanted to say a big thanks to these two dudes, because the mechanics and service department at my dealer were very standoffish when I was attempting to make them understand my issue:

@Dr.D: Odd Vibration
AND
@Mark Graham: Front tire issue?

Appreciate!

You’re fortunate. I have “ the vibration from hell” going on with my 2020. And I’m no closer to figuring out what it is.

What is the "vibration from hell"? Mine has a weird cadence rumble between 45 and 55 - thinking like OP it may be a balance issue on mine, too.

That said the bike is not a "smooth" rider - she's a mechanical maraca.

I had to order special gel filled vibration dampening riding gloves, and Dr Scholl’s gel foot insoles for my boots, or I wouldn’t be able to feel my extremities anymore after about 10 km/‘s down the road. It only get worse with speed. Any speed, any gear. That’s what I define as “ vibration from hell”.

I'm at a loss. The dealer rode it and said it's normal and you are buying accessories to deal with the 'vibration from hell'. You are a better person than I as I'm angry just thinking about it not getting resolved. There is no in between on this one. If all is true and once again I believe you 100% then take that Rocket in a demand they fix it. I still don't understand why they won't. If it's as bad at all speeds in all gears all the time then they would have to have felt the vibration. That is unless the bike is fuc*ing with you and is haunted. Please take it and and get this resolved ASAP so I can sleep. Thanks, MM.

Here’s how dealerships work. They don’t make s**t from the sale of a bike. Triumph does. The dealership makes its money from its merchandising, mechanical service maintenance, and repairs paid for by insurers. Dealerships HATE guys like me, with hard to solve, annoying, time consuming problems that cost them valuable shop time. They’ll keep telling you “ everything’s normal”. They’ll keep passing “the buck”. And try to time out your warranty. I bought the extended warranty, so I have some time left to deal with these F r’s . My bike is in storage for the winter now. I’ll deal with it next spring. Doesn’t stop me from picking ppls brains about it though.

Also I recently found out from the dealers that Triumph's warranty work is at a much lower rate than non warranty work. They can only bill Triumph for what Triumph tells them to charge themselves (Triumph). This may be why the aren't in any rush to fix yours or any other warranty work. Anyway, good luck and keep us updated on what happens.
