    Flyscreen: Electrical Connectors

    Is there a trick for disconnecting the Twist Grip Position Sensor and Handlebar Sub Harness connectors under the flyscreen? The larger connector appears to be a Sumitomo TS025 13 Position Waterproof Connector but I am not sure about the other two smaller black connectors: maybe Sumitomo MT090 3...

    Conflicted about TPMS

    Interesting stuff from Beemer World! However, this still does not help identify the low pressure level at which the Rocket 3 TPMS warning light will illuminate. I found some USA NHTSA info online that suggests a TPMS must warn [the driver] when the pressure in any single tire has fallen to 30...

    Conflicted about TPMS

    The Owner's Handbook is not clear on this point, only stating that "The warning light will illuminate when the front or rear tire pressure is below the recommended pressure. It will not illuminate if the tire is over inflated."

    Conflicted about TPMS

    Triumph TPMS works well on my 2022 3R. No issues. I had it installed at time of delivery by my dealer (accessory PART NUMBER: A9640251). Tire pressures can be viewed on the TFT instrument panel -- use the joystick to scroll to the TPMS information tray to view the front and rear tire...

    Burning ankle on 3R exhaust pipe

    No unbearable heat issues with my 2022 3R even in the Summer heat. Bike is all stock. The hottest bikes I've ridden over the years (where I found the motor heat to be almost unbearable) included a 96 BMW K1100RS -- and I understand that the K1 is even worse -- and an 05 Triumph Sprint ST 1050.

    Reasonable Dealer Request?

    My 2022 3R had a whopping 3 miles on the clock when I purchased the bike new in March 2022. Definitely not a DEMO bike, and likely ridden only by the shop service staff during PDI setup. I would expect them to do that (for safety purposes if for no other reason). Almost 2-yers later and no...

    MC Insurance - Are You Really Fully Covered? (what you may not know)

    I just reviewed my 64-page Progressive policy, and I'm feeling better about things now: There are exclusions (of course) indicating that UM/UIM bodily injury coverage will not apply to you under certain circumstances, e.g. you are being paid to carry another rider (Uber Bikes 😀), performing a...

    MC Insurance - Are You Really Fully Covered? (what you may not know)

    Thanks for bringing this up! I just checked my policy (Progressive) and I have Uninsured/Underinsured Motorist Bodily Injury and Property Damage coverage. I have not contacted Progressive to confirm, but the definitions on their website seem to suggest that UM/UIM coverage does protect you...

    Tires

    Metzeler USA site shows two options: ME 888 Marathon Ultra, and Cruisetec. Anyone have experience with the Cruisetecs?

    First Service - Rocket 3R - too expensive?

    Interesting point! Pretty sure that my Triumph dealer did the oil change on a lift (with the bike standing upright). Might explain why the bike was low on oil after first service and latest oil changes. For the latest (second) oil change the cost was $209.16 in Philadelphia -- but I supplied...

    Rocket 3 R Hard Starting

    Just had my bike in for general service (oil/filter change) and they updated to the latest firmware (dash/ecm/bluetooth). Service tech said that all Triumphs (not just Rockets) are having hard-starting issues - likely due to the lean ecm map from Triumph for environmental compliance...

    iOS 16 Update Advice

    Just had my bike in for general service (oil/filter change) and they updated with the latest firmware (dash/ecm/bluetooth). No issues with my iPhone running iOS 16.

    First Service - Rocket 3R - too expensive?

    My first service was $371 in April at the Philadelphia PA dealership where I purchased the bike: 2022 Rocket 3 R. Oil & filter change (they used bulk BMW Advantec 15W-50 full synthetic), lots of inspection items to check (almost "every nut-and-bolt on the bike" per the service tech), Triumph...

    Just received e-mail from Triumph advising against iOS 16 upgrade until My Triumph app issues are resolved

    12V aux power socket

    I purchased the second adapter that qweesy777 identified: I found that the adapter stops working periodically while riding. When it happens I jiggle/twist the adapter in the socket and then it works again -- until the next time that it stops working. I suspect that the adapter breaks it...
