    Help taking the engine out, no idea how honestly

    The start of this video is a time lapse of what it takes in broad strokes - but actually the front wheel and fender can be left on. The manual has a step by step guide on engine removal and refit. The biggest gotcha is going to be removal of the oil pressure switch at the rear of the cylinder...

    Can a Rocket III take down the establishment, and rule this island

    Out with the old (VP Racing breakin oil, used for 75 miles) and in with the new. Went for a spin before the weather broke. All going well but I need to get back tuning to go beyond 75% throttle / 6000rpm, also also for more aggressive roll ons.

    Can a Rocket III take down the establishment, and rule this island

    With all the focus on breaking in the low compression engine I neglected to rate the Robinson Transmission that went into it. Undercut dogs, beefy circlips around 3rd & 4th output, and billet 4th gear. First few shifts were a bit stiff but after that it was perfect. Before, when shifting into...

    Can a Rocket III take down the establishment, and rule this island

    Did the engine break-in yesterday. 75 miles. Warmed it up and used lots of varying rpm but nearly always above 2000rpm. Then as soon as it was warmed, wound it on more & more. Max used was about 45% throttle and 5500rpm I think. Was running on 2 cylinders for a while, was vibrating, sounding...

    Can a Rocket III take down the establishment, and rule this island

    So I finished the rebuild over a week ago and started it up, didn't get a chance to report back with the video since o_O Always a nervous moment. Especially when the oil light takes its sweet time. Now time for the break-in spin.

    Gears not engaging, after being rough with the gear shifter.

    I know the bolt that loosens can cause either a floppy or completely jammed shifter. but could be a number of things, dislocated and broken gears, broken shift fork, etc. Only way to know is to open it up I'm afraid

    Gears not engaging, after being rough with the gear shifter.

    So now the bike starts up and runs 'normally', but seems to be stuck in gear? what happens now when you go to change gear? If it's a trans problem then it's engine out, roll over and remove bottom crankcase in any case I'm afraid. But remove sump before taking engine out the bike, to be sure...

    Gears not engaging, after being rough with the gear shifter.

    A copy of the manual (downloadable from here) will tell you most of what you need to know, it has sections on engine removal and transmission disassembly & reassembly. Based on your updates since and that it's a 2014, there is indeed also a strong probability of circlip dislocation and...

    Gears not engaging, after being rough with the gear shifter.

    Might be the infamous gear change actuator bolt, that the Triumph factory tech put the threadloc on the wrong end of, after loosening

    TTS install question

    If by switch box you mean the stock Triumph switch housing, you have to cut it up to get the hydraulic MC & level to fit. Point 76 in the R3Owners guide; https://www.r3owners.net/threads/how-to-fit-tts-supercharger-kit-photo-heavy.36888/post-607363 While you're at it, can you post a pic of the...

    Instrument lamp replacement issue?

    Haven't seen it being done, but that's not to say it's not possible. How do you know a lamp needs replacement?

    Can a Rocket III take down the establishment, and rule this island

    Got another couple of days to get this beast finally back on the road. Engine off the bench and into the chassis, swingarm and back wheel on.

    2015 R3R Main Harness replacement

    Well, with a Roadster you can indeed find yourself having to open up a main harness to fix a problem - the good ol purple wire that has multiple crimps on it that suffer from dry rot/copper oxide and break. Leaving the bike unstartable with dead clocks due to the CANBUS design. I too have...

    Good stuff. The vac leaks caused the gross over fuelling that fouled the plugs. Now enjoy your beast..

    You can still download maps from the TuneECU site, stock ones too. Although it is recommended to download them through the Android app in order to ensure you get the latest revision. I've a database of maps from years ago too which can be available to whoever wants. So the map in the...

    Good you're nearly there. If your throttles are 650-670 then they are pretty good, generally accepted that if the 3 are within 10hPa of each other then you're balanced. So you got to do another ISCV reset and get the values to 0.60 and 0.72v as close as you can. And see what the bike is like...

    OK. Hope you're getting the cable from www.lonelec.com. Can you view what map is loaded (map notes) using the connector you have?

    Well be sure to trace all vac tubes both to the MAP sensor and the emissions crap, for integrity and firmly seated connections. After that, if bike runs on its own OK, give the throttles a balancing. Then do another ISCV reset / TPS calibration per the other video. Can you make a video of the...

    Updated my post for clarity. Was about 1am here and drinking. The emissions crap is on Canada & Hong Kong bikes too I think. Don't know where you're located. Anyway if you have emissions system then there are more places for vacuum leaks to occur so check everything carefully. And consider...

    The green arrows show the 3 nipples that the 3 vacuum tubes connect to. The yellow arrows show the 3 blanks on each TB. The blue arrow is the 4th one which is often missed, normally blanked too. These "extra" nipples are used for emissions compliance crap on California, Canada & Hong Kong models.
