Balance the carbs?

Have you check the chain and sprockets? And the chain adjustment?

Also check the clutch adjustment

Would of thought all this would have been done in the pre delivery service.....fat chance I suppose.

anyway. thanks for that and i'll try your suggestions

Hi

Only Duke I have riden was a 600 Monster. That was nice enough but did judder around at low revs (it was brand new, I rode it home for a freind who had just passed their test). With a few revs it was fine

No doubt if the carbs were out of sync it would make the problem worse.

All the best

Having never owned a Duke I can't say if it's part of the bike's character or the fact that it's a new bike with few miles on it.

Remember when new, most bikes will have quite a rough feel to them and may feel a bit jerky concerning clutch,gears and brakes.

You may also like to consider the fact that it is a V-twin after all,and may not be as smooth as an equivelant 4 cylinder machine,especially at low engine speeds.

where is the juddering - my vx shakes at tickover, but smoothes out with about 1200 rpm going (tickover is about 700 rpm).

Ask the shop.
