    rear tire pressure goes down to 25 or so psi if it sits 2 days or more.

    I would be looking at a bad valve stem, or a bad tire to rim seal due to debris or corrosion. It could also be a very small puncture but seeing how it was there from new that may not be the cause.There just isn't that many things to cause an air loss so it should be straight forward to find it...

    Purchasing radiator cap for a 2005 Rocket 3

    I have had pretty good luck getting stuff from Adept Powersports. I have also had a friendly dealer do a nationwide search for parts and a even friendlier guy spend a couple of hours searching a stock room for parts that got shoved behind other stuff. bob

    Wheeldock Free Standing Wheel Chock

    I use a L.A. Chock in the garage and also can put it against the forward wall of the toy hauler garage for bike transport. It can be a pain to back out of it at times but all in all is an OK product. https://baxleycompanies.com/products/la-chock bob

    What have you done to your R3T lately

    I got crazy this spring. I had fuel issues so I replaced all of the fuel tank consumable internals (rubber, filters, pump, ) and while I was doing that I decided to replace my valve cover gasket because of a small leak on a corner. I put Samco hoses on the cooling system and replaced the coolant...

    Can i take a road trip on the Rocket 3 r?

    A road trip is never a bad idea. I have taken road trips on much smaller bikes and one of the best road tripping bikes I ever had was a '75 850 Norton. That thing took me everywhere! bob

    Thailand earthquake

    What surprised me was the shaking in Bangkok which was 600 miles from the epicenter. It was a pretty shallow quake (10km) so that may be the reason it was felt over such a wide area. bob

    OEM Parts Source

    I have used Adept Power Sports with pretty good success. The only issue I have had is if the part is out of stock but shows in stock on the website you may not kinow for a day or so. If you call them their service rep uses the same web page so there is no need to call them to check because they...

    What’s the last thing you bought for your rocket…

    I bought it a new gun to take along on rides but because the legal rights of a motorcycle to own and carry firearms has yet to be taken up by the courts I have decided I will carry it for the bike, just in case there are questions. ;) bob

    Need Electrical Help

    ^^^^ Sounds like it could have been contact surface oxidation (corrosion) and just the action of unplugging and plugging back in cleaned it off enough to make it work again. Anyhow, that is what I would go with. As a former aircraft electrician/Flight Engineer that is what I would call it and...

    Need Electrical Help

    My thoughts. 1. When you swapped them out they worked. 2. You have the aftermarket signal minder. If possible I would take the signal minder out of the equation and see if they will then work. The only strange thing is the rear light not working. Do a good visual inspection of the wiring...
