Default Low Rider S

Anyone had any odd shaking, almost like a low or unbalanced tire on their new Low Rider S? It usually happens around 45 to 50 mph.

Have you tried a different gear and RPM? Have to ask. If no, then no, I have not. You can get your wheel/tire checked for balance

I seems to persist even after changing gears. I thought it was me at first since I was still learning the bike coming from a Sportster.

I am almost to my 1000 mile service so maybe things will smooth out after it gets new fluids.

Does sound like it could be an out of balance wheel. Fluids aren't going to fix that. Mention it to your dealer. Do you see any missing wheel weights?
