Hey guys, I just got an 03 vrsca last week and am loving it, however I have a few issues that I am not sure if they are serious problems or not.
1 - When I accelerate hard my bike shakes, this happens at any speed. If I stop accelerating, the bike stops shaking and rides smoothly. Its my first harley so I don't know what to expect.
2 - My shift linkage bar seems loose, the bolt is impossible to tighten anymore but I have about 1 cm of play from left to right, down the length of the screw. Also the screw has a rounded top, so I really have no way of tightening other than trying with a wrench (which isn't working). Should this shift linkage be able to move around like that?
Thanks in advance for any help or comments.
