    Ignition Switch?

    I certainly understand that. The ignition on my 2006 Classic with only 21000 miles on it failed within 2 weeks after I bought it back in 2018. That is when I joined this forum and learned the good. the bad and the ugly about the Rocket III. After learning about the problem and options for...

    Ignition Switch?

    I replaced my ignition with the Guard Dawg keyless plug and play unit a few days ago. I went to their Web site and messaged them with questions and they steered me to the correct model with exactly the right connectors for my 2006 Classic. I had trouble figuring out which connector was for the...

    What have you done to your R3T lately

    Update: I had forgotten to try using the second Key FOB that came with The Guard Dawg(they call it an, "RFID TAG"). When I did try the second "TAG" remote unit everything worked as designed in both manual and automatic mode. That made me think the first FOB/TAG I tried, that only worked when...

    What have you done to your R3T lately

    Years ago I had DeCosse's keyless unit and it worked great most of the time but I had to remove it. My Rocket would go dead briefly when riding through several different areas in San Diego County. For example when riding past the Miramar Naval Air Station I would lose power or when riding near...

    Nice, wonder if I could do that to my "06 Classic with a can of hi-temp silver spray paint. :)

    What have you done to your R3T lately

    The ignition switch on my '06 Rocket III Classic has crapped out for the third time. Yesterday I installed a Digital Guard Dawg keyless ignition. I am at the "manual" testing phase in the installation instructions. I only get electrical power when I hold the FOB/remote control against the...

    No Power To Anything

    Battery properly grounded? Or not at all? Cable terminals corroded or rusted out?

    Need Electrical Help

    That thought crossed my mind. The female slots where the original male flasher prongs plugged in, and the Signal Minder, looked dirty and greasy. Maybe the problem is there or in the fuses I pulled. If it happens again I will do some cleaning and maybe use the dielectric grease I have. Thanks.

    Need Electrical Help

    UPDATE: No surprise that I still haven't received a reply from Signal Minder for their thoughts. Doesn't really matter now because all is apparently well again. Why? I am not sure. One of my questions for Signal Minder was how in hell do I unplug the connector to what they call the...

    Need Electrical Help

    Well, interesting thought about an aftermarket Signal Minder, didn't cross my mind that what I have that has been working for years was some kind of bogus unit. Still have the pamphlet, still looks exactly like the Kisan unit that I bought from them direct. I messaged them this .am. for their...

    Need Electrical Help

    ****, Herm, you may be onto something there. That is exactly what I did with those parking bulbs because that seems nutty to me to leave them glowing inside my headlight buckets behind my new LED headlight. I figured with their rubber housings there would not be a chance for grounding or...

    Need Electrical Help

    Well, as I mentioned in the first sentence, it is a Classic. :)

    Need Electrical Help

    I installed LED headlights a week ago on '06 R3 Classic. I've run the bike several times since then with no apparent electrical faults. Today, as I always do before a ride, I checked turn signal and brake light functions. Results were zip, nada, bupkis, nothing. My shop manual says fuse in...

    Front wheel bearing gone

    Approx. how many miles on that bearing when it failed? I have approx. 37,000 miles on my '06 Classic so wondering if I need to add bearings to my 'to do' list.
