Start up left jetk

[Dtolotti]

Hey all,
My R18 gave me that awesome side jerk on ignition when I bought it.
Now 2500 miles in, It doesn’t jerk anymore at start.
Is this normal??

The right "jerk" compensates for the left jerk after a few miles.

Mine hasn't gotten appreciably less jerky. Are you sure that you're in Rock Mode?

Jerking to the left has nothing to do with the mode you're in.

Try switching hands.

Ok. So his left cylinder isn't going out to the left any longer? Or it weighs less for some reason?

Think about the first time you started it. You were probably relaxed throughout your body and the jerk felt like it was jumping underneath you.

You are probably used to it now, so subconsciously preparing for the jerk with some more pressure in your left leg and a tighter hold on the bars which minimizes how much it jerks.

Try going fully relaxed in your body when you start it to get back to how it was on your first start… you’ll probably feel the jerk again.
