brakes and gearbox
Hi everyone. My first post. Just bought a 06 black rocket with 11,000 miles. The last service was carried out at 9,000 miles. I have a pulsating through the front brake lever when braking from speed. It feels like warped discs. My last bike was a 05 speed triple and the break lever travel felt similar but without the pulsating. Any comments re similar eperience would be appreciated.

More concerning when accelerating in 3rd at about 2500 - 3000 revs I sometimes get a noise sounding like it is trying to jump out of gear. It does not jump out of gear and continues to ride as normal but this has happened three times in my first few hundred miles of rideing. It may be the shaft drive making the noise. This is my first shaft driven bike so again would appreciate comments

The bike is awesome.

Cheers

Welcome.

With 11K plus miles on your new bike, you are on the right track thinking brake rotors. Before touching the brakes first double check the air pressure and second confirm this is the second set of tires on your bike if possible. I assume you have nearly new tires, if not you might have original front tires. Changing the front tire along with a fresh tire balance might be the cause. You would want to confirm the tires are at pressure and in balance before working on the brakes.

Check the clutch cable adjustment first. You might be not up shifting firm enough or with the right clutch adjustment to get in third.

Thanks for the advice

New tyre on the back, nearly new tyre on the front. I checked the tyre pressures before riding at the weekend and both were correct.

The bike is going back into the dealer next week so I'll ask them to check the cables etc.

Cheers
