Lemming syndrome...absolutely no doubt about it.
As said above mine is pretty much Vibe free and always has been. it was always smooth as also said above. I do think top gear roll on is improved and it is grungier in the lower rev range in higher gears. once the revs rise it becomes difficult to tell as by the time it hits 7k in any gear it is starting to go supersonic and after that it becomes irrelevant.
fuel consumption is improved i regularly get high 40s and i do not tootle about on it. I also think that the engine runs a little cooler as well
Whereabouts in the UK is Geoff based and do you have a contact number/address/e-mail for him please?
Thank You. I shall be calling on his services in the not too distant future.

Only asking because after a going on a long test ride I cancelled my order because of the vibes, and if there was a solution I would love to know.
BTW, this happened in late 2014, long before everyone started banging on about it all over the net.
As for V twins - I have owned 3 (one of them for 7 years) so I think my perfectly genuine question came from somewhere other than being a lemming
@Redrick - many thanks for your reply - seems like this is probably not going to be the answer.
I'm glad you got a smoother one - wish I could be sure of the same and then I'd probably buy one too!

I do believe that some are worse than others.
The bike i first test road was quite vibey but TBH i was prepared to put up with it but my bike is pretty much vibe free in comparison. It could just be my imagination but i believe it to be slightly worse in road mode compared to dynamic.
Mine does have a bit of a tingle between 5k and about 5.4 k but thats it
Mine is booked in with Geoff for Wednesday afternoon.
I'm taking my Ktm GT to him hopefully nxt week, I'm sure you had your SDR done ! What was it like after.
Quicker....

Well impressed with the result, seems smoother, and quicker to pick up revs.

I can't read the figures. What final results did you get?
Power 155 up from 137
Torque 85 up from 65
Torque 85 up from 65
Good result !
Interesting though as mine went up to 161 but slightly less torques i think ( not a willy wave BTW) but just shows that different bikes etc etc
Just checked the graphs
159.9 BHP at the wheel and 89 .1 torques
the point being that they are all a bit different !!
