Sagging engine mount?
I have a new '16 883 Iron with about 2600 miles. I've been fighting a nasty vibration that started during the break-in period.
At the 1000 mile maintenance I told the dealer and they told me that they found the mount was loose and tightened it. It smoothed out for a while but came back within a few hundred miles.
We checked all the fasteners on the front end and looking at the front main mount found that it is sagging about 1/4-1/2" with the engine off.
Is this type of sagging normal or did I find my issue and have a warranty claim for the dealer?

^^^Yep^^^
No brainer...address w/dealer for warranty flaw/fix.
Similar story, my son just had his entire rear bumper cover re-painted by Ford, on his '16 Mustang GT. There was one small paint chip, found during 1st wash, and car was only 1-month-old. Service sent the pics to Ford and they said..."repaint it." Car looks brand new...again.
