    Struggling to figure out the cause of misfires

    Yep. The engine was recently rebuilt. Everything was fine after assembly.

    Struggling to figure out the cause of misfires

    Hi everyone. My 2008 R3T is driving me nuts. She works perfectly on idle, but misfires start as soon as I open the throttle. Doesn't matter how wide the throttle is open, engine keeps stuttering, backfiring and all that. The setup is Ramair/TOR/Nels tune. I've thrown in new spark plugs, new...

    Thank you! And what does BM stand for?

    Quick update. In case anyone's interested. Got myself a new Rocket. Dirt-cheap (for our market) - $12K. 2009. 21 000 miles. Looks dull in black as to me. So, new paintwork is coming up. Trying to sell leftovers of the first R3T to a friend of mine, who owns a motorcycle workshop. If he passes on...

    Well, you can see some titties at our beaches. You can also go to a nude beach and wave your wiener in the wind.

    Hey Michael! It can be done. They offer legal tours there. And you don't want an illegal one, just trust me. :) We have some nice beaches, yet yes, they are crowded during summer season. Locals don't really go to the beach much. I spend more time in Mediterranean and Red Sea waters, even...

    Oh, I see. Was thinking about sides metaphorically, not physically. I'd say that's the picture of average damage. Will take more pics when I'll be seeing my bike at workshop.

    Once again, thank you all for kind wishes. Skin's growing back pretty fast. And I do realize how lucky I am to be still alive after an accident like that, not to mention zero broken bones. Bike got banged up badly. I've made a quick list of parts for replacement. Just the needs, no wants...

    Um... What exactly? Didn't get you.

    Greetings from Ukraine.

    Thanks mate. I'll have the full list later on when my mechanic takes most of the bike apart. Fingers crossed, frame and engine are fine... Any help would be appreciated, as new parts cost a fortune. So I'll be snooping around eBay and classifieds in Facebook, etc. I'm even thinking of buying a...

    Can't pinpoint the reason. I've experienced wobbling before, but that time I was sure speed was the reason. Riding 240+ km/h on H-rated tyres (not to mention one was radial, and another one was bias) was an idiotic idea. Strangely enough, I was able to stabilise the bike just by the book. Hands...

    Sad news. A week ago caught some nasty high speed wobbling. Tried to tame it. No luck. Crashed at 170-180 km/h. Lucky for me, road rash and bruises only. Bike is heavily thrashed though. Still don't know if frame and engine are fine. Everything else is pretty much wasted... I'm afraid to even...

    Greetings from Ukraine.

    Thank you. Twice. :) I really enjoyed reading your post. Couldn't agree more on every subject. As to Rocket parts, you can't get anything here. Triumphs are not that common, especially Rockets. I doubt we have at least 10 of those in Ukraine. Two in Odessa, including mine. All hail the...

    R3T derestricting

    Okay, here's an update. The more I ride the better it gets. Seems like the machine is adapting to new fuel map and riding style. Runs much better than yesterday. I'll hold on to HansO tune for a while and see where it gets me. @Bob R , thanks for emailing me your map. Much appreciated.
