New Rocket 3 2020 Minor Issues

Having recently picked up my new Rocket 3 (TFC), I've found a few niggles and/or potential technical issues, that I wouldn't mind some opinions on. I'm not sure if many, or any, of these are truly problems per se, they could be perfectly normal, but I know that if I ask my dealer about them, I will definitely be told that they're normal.

The first one, when I turn on the ignition, I see what the manual tells me is the General Warning Symbol, which looks like white spanner in an orange circle. It only shows for a few seconds before turning off, which makes me think it could be by design. However, I'm almost certain that it wasn't showing before yesterday. I've only done 170 miles on the bike, so maybe I missed it on the first few days, but I'm pretty damn confident it was never there before.

Also when you turn on the ignition but not starting the bike, it make a fair amount of little noises. Continuously. Whirs and buzzes, the occasional click. I'd expect the fuel injector to whizz and maybe some other shortlived electrical/mechanical noises, but it really does not shut up until you either start the engine or shut it off. Normal?

Next up, it has an unstable idle, both when the engine is first started up, and also after a ride of a decent length (10+ miles). You can the revs are wobbling, the rev gauges shows it, and you can feel the slight shake/wobble through the handlebars. I would estimate the gauges show a wobble of around 100-200 revs maybe? And it's not regular (e.g. every 2 seconds), it's totally erratic. Can this be normal?

Finally, I've also made a whole separate post about the trouble I've had with the bluetooth module

Really appreciate any comments!

 

Oh no! I missed one! This is the only one that the dealership will probably admit to not being correct.

My keyless-ignition-key is basically no longer working, it's range has dropped to ... practically 0.

This happened as of this evening, and I know it was perfectly fine for my ride this afternoon. I normally just have it in my jeans pocket, jump on the bike, start up, all good. Now, I have to take the seat off and hold it near the battery in order to get the ignition on!

 

Thanks, me too!

My wife likes to remind me of the issues I had with my Thunderbird Commander when I picked that up from the dealer. Those included a loose mirror that flapped back due to wind when I went over ~50mph, a strange whirring noise (which never got fully resolved) from the belt, cosmetic issues (scratches on panels, exposed glue on the outside of panels, etc), and then a host of other silly stuff like creaking when turning the handlebars, loose cables dangling out from behind the lights, and a broken lightbulb. Oh, and an engine management fault light within the first 500 miles.

I think I'm just unlucky ... unless ... this is just triumphs!

 

Thanks, regarding you points ... the light is part of the TFT. The manual says that the oil, abs, and engine lights come on for that reason. It does not say the same for the spanner logo in the TFT, and commons sense would imply there's no need to show that ... the section of the TFT is working, right? . But yes, it's still possible that they do it for people without common sense!

As for the battery, as it happens, when I rode away from the dealer (we're talking, I was about 10 feet outside the gates) the display told me my key battery was low , so literal first job was to replace it. I've not since had any low battery warnings, so I doubt it's that ... although I did buy 2 batteries, so could test

 

Thanks a lot, no spanner in that vid., I'll take a vid of my own to show you what I mean.

The ONLY other think I can think of, is something to do with servicing, OR to do with having the rev limiter set to running-in mode.

I'm at 170 miles, so if you're at 200, that's not it. I can change my rev limiter to see if that changes anything, but I doubt it.

 

Dammit, I just took some vids, can I upload them here, or must htey go on youtube? It doesn't seem to want me to upload .mov files ...

I forgot about this one too! ... the machine had been off for a couple hours, I walk into the garage and here it making these clicking/puffing noises!

I also just checked whether turning the gear shift indicator from "running in" to disabled didn't eliminate the spanner. It did not.

Although my key now seems to be working again, after having done nothing at all to fix it (????)
