Here we have a new (4 days old) '06 with 600 miles on her. Out for a ride with a couple of buddies (1 Busa, 1 ZX14, 1 K1200s and 1 R1) and . . . .
Accelerating through 180 kph (112 mph) there is a rhythmic pulsation that almost feels like a light grinding from the drive train that continues all the way up through 240 kph (148 mph - she had a bit more oomph, but I didn't take her any higher).
This bike also doesn't roll smoothly at high speeds.
The ZX14 owner used to have an FJR and we swapped. (nice bike - very smooth) He pronounced 'There is something wrong' and, because I am leaving for South America today for a week, offered to speak to our collective dealer on my behalf while I am out of town (he has bought many machines from this one).
They've revised the entire system with the longer swing arm and other stuff . . .
Anyone else seeing this?
