Ignore this lot, they don't know what they're talking about.
You've clearly bought a pup, much better to bin it off now & move on to something you'll be more comfortable & happier with. Once you lose faith in a bike it will never be 'right'.
Accept you're going to have to take quite a major loss on it, sell it & let it become someone else's 'Issue' to deal with.
That's definitely the way forward with this pile of shi'ite.
Doris, can I have that manual when he sends it back to you once he's sold the bike?

Nice try........
It was easy to fit, worked well, and then left alone for the several years I had the FXDX. I had the Evo for less than a year, but I assume it worked as well as the FXDX.
New mounts arrived today..
When you've fitted them could you please let us know what sort of a job it was and how you did it?....I'm just interested in fixing stuff.
Cheers...
Well fitted the new mount today.. piece of piss to change .10 mins max.. trolley jack under engine to take the weight then unbolted old mount and fitted new one in place tho I did have to raise the jack/engine up a good inch to align the bolt holes in the new mount ..shows how much the old one was goosed .. done up the bolts snug then fired it up and let it run for a few moments to settle itself in the mounts then tightened bolts down to recommended torque settings ..upon inspection of the old mount the rubber had deffo perished as I could move the inner part that bolts to the frame quite easily also it had a few cracks where it was bonded to the metal mounting..I think time not getting used then old engine oil on it had weakened it then when I started to ride it more spirited than it had been was too much for the rubber mounts ..anyhoo its done now ..jus wish this bloody rain would piss off so I can get out on it..tho later on the week its got a 200 mile round trip ..whether rain or shine ..

Once it’s all properly aligned......
yep fork oil change is nxt ..maybe new springs .. also wanting to fit mag wheels to it n get rid of the chrome spoked wheels ..and Ive sourced some black primary and oil tank casings also battery cover ,Im not a fan chrome I like to ride my bikes not polish them..
get no oil on new front mount, it can destroy it quickly, rear mount is more solid, different build
wouldnt think it would be.. hate sports bikes anyhoo ..
