When you have had an 05 and a 09 Classic that did not vibrate at all, clutch in or out, when you upgrade to a late model Roadster after they print that the new Roadsters are smoother, that is generally what you expect to get. When i road tested each one before I brought them they were smooth. The vibration came after being ridden for a short time, after paper work was signed and payments were made. I had no intention of paying for a Rocket that was going to develop a vibration and get worse the more KM's you put on it or lose to power. However, when I get my fourth Rocket III (Roadster)back from the NZ Triumph technicians I will ride it and hopefully they will have fixed the problem.
Furthermore. I have ridden a number of other Rockets as I have a lot of friends who have gone out and purchased Rocket III's based on the look of mine and the comments that I make about them and knowledge, none of these have the vibration that I am feeling in my Roadster, or the vibration that I had in my last Roadster.
All comments/Suggestions have been appreciated concerning the vibration.
Are there any suggestions as to why there is power loss?
Or, why is the engine oil so filthy that it looks like there is something breaking down in the engine? Like the crank shaft for instance, because they changed the composition of the crank shaft to make it lighter.
Has the new composition/integrity of the crank shafts been compromised by the reduction in weight in order to get more horse power out of them?
