    2005 rocket with 3k miles on it any mods advise

    My only advice after reading a lot of earlier threads is to keep the clutch adjusted properly and use it for every shift :)

    Occasionally erratic idle, what can I adjust without TuneECU?

    Yeah, the warm-up doesn't bother me that much. I have plenty of vintage bikes that are much more finicky when cold. It was the stall between a shift when fully warmed and running that caused me to be concerned. I may just have to suck it up and get a cable. Figured I'd try the cheap and easy...

    Occasionally erratic idle, what can I adjust without TuneECU?

    My '07 Classic has an occasionally erratic idle. At first start-up it hunts around for a while, which I always figured was normal while the engine was cold and transitioning from closed to open loop. That doesn't bother me, but it also hunts around a little when it's warmed up when you first...

    Tail of the Dragon - Alternative Suggestions

    I did The Snake with some buddies back in 2014 or 2015 and had a blast. Rode 2-up with my wife on the back of a sketchy 70's Honda chopper. We take a trip almost every summer down to the Rider's Roost in Wilkesboro. Getting ready to do it again in 3 weeks on this bike again. Plans are to run...

    Bad drivetrain Noise coming from rear end.

    Sounds like something coming loose. Stupid question, but I'm sure you've checked that your lugnuts are tight? Has the rear wheel been removed recently?

    Bought my first Triumph ever... an '07 Rocket 3 with 100k on it and charging issues!

    Following some tips from the forum and the positive Amazon reviews I gave the "Seal Mate" a shot and it seems to have fixed my seal leaks. Question now is can I readjust the fork oil levels without disassembling the forks? The manual gives the oil level with the forks fully compressed. Is it...

    Motorcycle airbag jacket

    I've got a Hit-Air jacket. Been wearing it for about 5 years now. It was a compromise I made with my wife when our first kid was born and I don't regret it. As a mesh jacket it's no different than what I was wearing before, pretty comfy and not too ugly (I didn't get a high-vis color) and so...

    Bought my first Triumph ever... an '07 Rocket 3 with 100k on it and charging issues!

    I'll take both! Found another thread with some tools I'll apparently need. Also may have to do the front brake pads. They're soaked and not working well.

    Bought my first Triumph ever... an '07 Rocket 3 with 100k on it and charging issues!

    I don't think this bike likes me very much... Granted we found about 10 miles of accidental gravel roads this weekend, but I came home today to find this: It would appear that I managed to blow out both fork seals this weekend. Sigh. Time to order a few more parts...

    Bought my first Triumph ever... an '07 Rocket 3 with 100k on it and charging issues!

    Put about 500 miles on the R3 this weekend with a temporary battery monitor that shows actual voltage (not just red/yellow/green). Bike puts out a solid 14.4v-14.5v while riding, no issues with restarts all weekend. After messaging with Decosse about my charging issue it seems like maybe my...
