Vibration?

leatal said:

I got a real good deal on a 2020 GT with accessories two weeks ago and finally got around to running it (after bleeding the rear brakes). I notice it seems to have a slight engine vibration when accelerating. The bike accelerates nicely but has that annoying vibration (like a Harley) that is not present in my 2014 Roadster. After researching, I found the first gen Rocket has a 1-2-3 firing order and the second gen has a 1-3-2 firing order (maybe the reason?). Anyone else found that annoying vibration when riding the new series Rockets?

Have you seen the astronauts shaking when under the extreme acceleration of a rocket launch? Well, there you go....LOL Honestly, what do we expect when we push that much weight with that much force....that's why it's so very cool.

Thanks, now I feel comfortable about it. Guess it is just the characteristic of the bike.

Just be glad it's not a Moto Guzzi. My buddy lent me one while I'm up in NY, man, feels like it's not running on all cylinders, even though it is
