Default Sybill???

I am not the type to name my bike but I may start calling it Sybill.
Some days it bucks me off it is shaking so much other days it is smooth as silk.

I tried to keep notice of the temps when it is rough or smooth but there doesn't seem to be any consistent theme. Early in the year when it was cool is was running rough but this morning is was fairly cool and it felt like a Rolls Royce. I can also jump on when it is really hot out like yesterday and it is a paint shaker or days rock solid.

I never know which Sportster I am driving when I get up in the morning.

Sybill is moody and can't talk...so perhaps it is telling you something i.e. warning signs that something is not right. Check out her health doc.

No, in the driver's belly. Then you don't notice your scoot's idiosyncrasies.
