    New to this site I ride a Rocket 3 GT which is an awesome beast, it’s second hand with 4K on the clock has anyone experienced a judder when you pull away?

    I don't know what a judder is. I don't speak Oz, but welcome anyway from the U.S. of A.

    Hi Chris and welcome to the forum, the judder you describe is normal pulling away, this is due to the shaft drive mechanism, unlike those chain drive machines that only experience the judder when the Cush Drive rubbers become worn, so enjoy your machine and hope you have many many enjoyable miles, they are a beast of a machine and a real mile muncher, yours looks a really lovely machine. Ride safe all from an ageing Rocker.

    Thx everyone, it was down to a small misfire that was the cause, the previous owner had been running it on 98 octane and had caused a bit of a carbon build up. All good now and runs very smoothly.
