- Rocket 2010 shopping
Hey everybody, I've been browsing the pages here for the last month or so due to an injury keeping me in bed. I am not an owner YET, but my old lady gave me the go ahead so with a little planning/research and help from the community here I know I can join the club. I originally was looking at a Diavel but was worried about ride comfort and seating position due to an old back injury(t12) . My biggest fears are the infamous Paint can rattling or mechanical issues when buying used. It's the pre 2010 models with the issues so my question is should I only shop 2010+ or can I get a first generation up to spec? I love tinkering and am mechanically inclined so a little wrenching doesn't worry me too much.
I could really use some knowledge and your expertise on the bike and what to look for when buying used as I have no experience with inline shaft engines . I know to look at the bottom of the engine for oil , leave it cold so I can start it , but only just basics . Almost everyone here seemed knowledgeable or at least friendly so I'm excited to meet some guys with a similar interest.
