R1200RT '17 vibrations in fourth gear at about 3200rpm.

Post by GvG »

Hello guys,

Got my new R1200RT LC '17 last Friday, and I experienced a bit of a vibration/thrumming, meanly in fourth gear at about 3200 rpm.

If I could make an analogy to a chain driven bike, 4th feels like the chain and cogs are worn such that when the tight spots in the chain meet the high points in the sprockets I get the "thrum", maybe every 0.5s at 70km/hr......
Maybe it gets better with more milage  :kacsint2:

Anyone had the same issue?

Ring your dealer.  It shouldn't do that.
