Size Does Matter
.020 Over
Just purchased a 2011 Rocket 3 roadster.
The speedometer has just turned over 2000klms. At the 800klm service I informed team Moto about a vibration that comes in through the footpegs and then through the handle bars.
I the did a three day ride through South Western Queensland and the vibration got worse. The vibration was worse and most prevelant when in either 3rd, 4th or fifth gear at 2000rpm. However when applying a little clutch pressure on the clutch lever just enough to take up the freeplay the vibration disappears. The vibration was worse from 2krpm to over 3k rpm.
The bike shop has been great and could easily see that the bike had a problem. Triumph I found were a little slow to get things moving under warranty but nevertheless the bike has been stripped and the engine is out of the bike. Triumph are blaming the clutch and want it sent to see if its out of balance.
Enough to make you cry with a brand new bike.
See how things go.
