Good day,
Just picked up my first Rocket III today!
It's a 2005 model and looking to learn what I can about these machines.
I have noticed an occasional shudder pulling away and wondering if this is a symptom of driveshaft the issues I've heard of?
Any other advice would be very welcome.
All of the best

Thank you for taking the time to respond! Yes indeed now that you mention it I believe you are right. With three BIG(well for a motorcycle) pistons I can see how that would match what I'm feeling.... I was just worried about the driveshaft. What would the symptoms be for a failing driveshaft?
