I'm thinking about getting a 2011 muscle but have never riden one, looking for any info as far as how they proform and the HP they have looking for something faster then the S/G I ride now
hi engine mont assmbly is ok exhaust is standard you se the vibration on mirror .Have you checked the engine mounts? Also check the exhaust system and heat shields fo anything loose.
your lugging the motor at those rpms - its not the same as the airheads that cruise at this rpm - the Vrod loves to rev - yes they are a little lumpy at low rpms, and yes you will see it in the mirrors to some extent, were the airheads are flat out at 5500-6000 (6500/7000 if its stage 2 or more) the Vrod is cruising at 90mph or at the very least mine does and its as smooth as anything and will still accelerate like its attached to the horizon with a large rubber band
the new from 08 up rods are 1250CC with a claimed 124hp at the crank mine is dropping 116hp at the rear wheelThe new engine is an 1130cc 60º v-twin sporting 4 valves/cylinder, dual overhead cams, liquid cooling, and fuel injection. It revs to 9,000 rpm and produces 115 hp. Not bad … not bad at all!"
