Engine Vibration continues

[warp9.9]

ALL the Rockets have the vibes so its not defective parts and since it stops when you pull in the cluch lever and remove the free play in the clutch cable lets see what we can do to solve the problem

Yours might have vibrations but mine never has therfore when I pull my clutch in nothing has changed.
It could be mine is adjusted better but oen thing for sure is I feel no vibrations in mine and never felt it in my 05 (Gracie) either.

this talk is too deep for me but after reading I took my JD for a ride and tried to find this vibration I also pulled clutch in and out on neutral and in gear to feel this vibration but zip!! is it that in 2006 output shaft bearings were baaad and clutch lifter good?

WELL you have to take the bike on the highway and take it past 3000 rpm and up and criuse just came back from riding my 09 classic and I swithced off with another 2013 Roadster and it was the same as mine so its not a mystery

SO FAR every Rocket Ive tested has the same vibes even though I wouldnt call it a problem as they are much smoother than any of the V TWINS

WELL maybe your bikes are adjusted so there is very little freeplay and we know that stops the vibes

My 05' has a slight vibration at idle. If I just take up the slack in the cable with the clutch lever it goes away. I believe it's just the release mechanism flopping around until you put some load on it. If mine didn't do that I would be concerned that the clutch adjustment was to tight. Just the nature of the beast. If you guys need something to worry about, worry about your output shaft bearings

Why would you suggest worrying about the out put shaft? Sorry The devil made me say that.

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?

What say you IMFASTTOO?

I dont know what your talking about a lighter crankshaft ??? And maybe the vibration problem in your bike is far worse than what I have in my 2 bikes And like I said every Rocket I ride has some vibration that disappears when you pull in the clutch and take up the free play

Sorry, I thought you were suggesting that all Rocket III's had a vibration. Apparently they changed the composition of the crank shafts to make them lighter in an effort to make the whole bike lighter.
Just to let you know the Vibration was quite bad and it sometimes would not go into first gear or when it did go into first gear, it would jump out of first gear once the bike got moving. And that was under low revs.
