Hello All,
I bought new 2016 and now have about 250 miles on it. As I get more comfortable riding this one, I noticed that I get a "grind" or a rough vibration when I lift off the gas and touch the rear brake. As an example - pulling back into my neighborhood, I am normally driving at 20mph in 2nd or 3rd gear. I can release the throttle without issue, but if I barely touch the rear brake I get a rough engagement that almost feels/sounds like lightly grinding a gear (you can feel it in the seat if you are waiting for it). It is just for a very brief instant and goes away as soon as the brake pads touch the rotor. No noise/issues at all from the front brake. Doesn't seem to matter if clutch is in or out.
My question is, is this possibly something wrong with the shaft drive that I should be concerned with? Basically, this is so new that I am questioning if it was assembled correctly, fluids topped off, etc.. Anything I should look at immediately? I am just worried that I may be damaging something due to an assembly or adjustment oversight that can be easily fixed.
If not, I will change the fluids at the 600 mile mark and just enjoy it!
Thank you!
Ryan
