Have you had any reduction in your rear brakes effectiveness? Mine is approximately half what it was after only 4,500 klm’s.

Currently the bike has 9180 km.
The braking has not changed much, the ABS system is a bit misleading because the braking distance and bite of the calipers is controlled.
What I notice is that the touch is weaker but it doesn't seem to change the security.
Particularly for me, when I had my Yamaha Road Star Warrior I liked to skid under rear braking and it had a lot of grip.
Now, since I don't know how to turn off the ABS I have no idea how much this bike actually brakes.
 
Correct. I should have stated 'retained'. If you win they win. If you lose it costs you nothing but like you said, they will only take the cases that are a slam dunk.
 
I’ve not yet exhausted all avenues with regards to my “lemon”. However I’m fairly certain the lawyer route is most likely in the cards. I greatly appreciate your offer. I’m Canadian so don’t know how effective an American lawyer would be. I’d like to PM you soon and at least discuss how you resolved your issues.
 
Hi everyone,

Some news about my Rocket, I borrowed the demo bike last Friday to see if it does the same handlebar kicking issue between 80-100 kph. Guess what, when I found clean new road where the issue is the most obvious, bike was almost perfectly calm (still theres some minor vibration, 2500cc has its feeling of course, but not what my bike does).
So, they will replace my back tire too, hopefully it helps, 'cause they can't afford any more replacements without proper proof of an issue (they have a budget for that or something like that, at least they said this to me.)
However, if it won't help, next step is to send the bike to the manufacturer for an expertise, which is not something I would like to do, so please wish me luck that the rear tire is causing trouble and it will be fixed with its change.
Also, my dealer sent only one bike for said expertise so far, which was 1050 Tiger sport, which was randomly shutting down for a few seconds while riding between 7200-7500 rpm, weird huh? :-D
 
It always comes back to the wheels with these guys. Easiest thing to try first I guess. My issue is NOT the wheels. I’ve taken it up to 100 mph, pulled in the clutch lever, and it instantly gets smooth like butter. I took it up to 110 mph for just a couple seconds the other day, and could smell something burning, kind of smelt like clutch plates. I’m wondering if the clutch assembly is out of round? Anyone ever heard of that ? Please reply if you have. My bike is nagging at me for a service call, but the weather here has been so atrocious I’ve not made the appointment yet. Summer just doesn’t want to arrive here in Western Canada yet. ( I don’t do rain). Hey thanks for the update. Really appreciate any feedback. cheers.
 
Well i do not know if this is your problem
I have thought the clutch drum is the problem for a lot of bikes.
There is good threads on this to research
Mine would vibrate at 3000 touch the clutch and the vibration would be gone. You can't adjust clutch to zero or it will make it go bad.
 
Oh my God. Now my suspicions are even more obvious.
I don't get a demo bike here.
This is a headache.
The truth is that my bike, with uneven asphalt, behaves badly and keeps shaking the handlebars. After all this time, I'm still not sure what the cause is.
The motorcycle expert focused on the front, but I have thought a lot that the rear has an influence as well.
 
Yeah, you surely have a different issue m8, that was clear instantly when we started to describe our problem with the bike, I just keep my promise and update with new findings when I have some. Actually, there were two guys on these forums with the same problem as I have and one was caused by front tire, the other by the rear one. So I doubt we are the only ones with this issue, that's the reason I update, so other guys can find it and hopefully solve it
 
Both tires can cause this, I just hope that the rear one is the problem in my case, because I already changed the front. There was two guys with the same problem and one was caused by front, the other by rear, so there is quite a good chance that the rear is my problem too. And maybe yours also ;-)
 
Yeah I’m leaning towards the clutch now that I can actually smell something burning at high speed. Thx
