Supercharged
I am on my second rocket. This one was new in April has now done 4500 miles and still there is a pronounced vibration at 4000 rpm. I never had this on my previous Rocket and this one is more vibey at anything over about 3200.
Triumph don't really want to know, and so their dealers don't either really. So I telephoned an ex-triumph dealer and managed to speak to their engineer who used to look after the Rockets.
He said when a bike did this, they used to slacken off all the engine bolts then retorque them up to spec.
So firstly - does this sound a plausible, and secondly are all the bolts reasonably accessible (how many are there?). I have a list of the torque settings.
