    Total Engine Seize...

    IDK (Legend) ...I really hate to spread my legs open here, but no, I am not sure about the nut you are referring to, but I suspect that it was that shiny nut that that came in the box when I got my last parts. Maybe such a nut holds something important...such as the end of a rotating...

    Dealing with engine heat...

    Corey, my R3T gets hot as hell also and it literally can burn through my jeans. I had the same problem on my 600 Ninja. I bought several rolls of header insulation wrap and wrapped my exhaust from the head to the muffler and this worked great on the Ninja. I notice on the R3T that the heat seems...

    Total Engine Seize...

    The last time was a 2nd Gear swap that was/is a know problem with this bike. So I will have to wait and see what this problem is and determine the cause. For sure though, this is not what I call fun.

    Total Engine Seize...

    Maybe you did not read my posts with Warp...all of my parts are original and bought from USA or Australia Triumph or re-sellers. My mechanic is excellent and though he is not high tech, he is one hell of a mechanic. He has serviced 5 of my bikes for 5 years and no issues with him.

    Dark Side...The Last Time...Promise!! (Pictures)

    Hi Guys, I am running a Michelin Primacy 205/65-R16 rear and a Dunlop 150/80H-16 D404 Whitewall Front Tire. I bought my bike used and downloaded a service manual that says I should have a 17" front rim, but I have a 16". It is matched with the rear, so I guess that is the way it is supposed to...

    Dark Side...The Last Time...Promise!! (Pictures)

    Hi, thanks for the reply. I cannot spin the car tire or the last bike tire i had. But when I bought the bike it has semi-bald Metz or Mich and was just happy to spin immediately if I goosed it. My bike is a 2008 and has no ABS, but knowing how ABS works I can say that if you had a CT on, the...

    Cliff, this guy is an absolute wizard. He led cross-country bike tours for almost 30 years and was fixing bikes all the time and now he only works on bikes. I have been taking bikes to him for 5 years and I have seen everything imaginable stripped down on his floor. I have watched him make tools...
