    Need Electrical Help

    ^^^^ Sounds like it could have been contact surface oxidation (corrosion) and just the action of unplugging and plugging back in cleaned it off enough to make it work again. Anyhow, that is what I would go with. As a former aircraft electrician/Flight Engineer that is what I would call it and...

    Need Electrical Help

    My thoughts. 1. When you swapped them out they worked. 2. You have the aftermarket signal minder. If possible I would take the signal minder out of the equation and see if they will then work. The only strange thing is the rear light not working. Do a good visual inspection of the wiring...

    Rmoving injectors to clean

    You may want to drain the tank and replace the fuel filter and inspect the rest of the in tank system. https://www.r3owners.net/threads/well-lucy-that-explains-that-no-power-sputtering-etc.53748/ I ended up rebuilding/replacing the entire in tank system. bob

    CarPlay & GPS screens - I did a thing, show me yours.

    I just keep a couple of ziplock bagg and rubber bands in my bag for any inclement weather to cover the Nuvi and my phone. Behind the windscreen they don't get much water on them.. bob

    CarPlay & GPS screens - I did a thing, show me yours.

    I use a Garmin Nuvi on my Touring. Not so much for GPS or anything else although the option is there. I use my phone in another mount for Waze, music, etc. The reason for the Nuvi is because when using the Garmin Eco-Route module I can set it up as instruments, mainly the tach which the Touring...

    Anyone ever heard of this?

    Well, it is a pretty paint job. That's about the only limited there unless it is running one of those new fangled stealth pocket blowers! bob

    Las Vegas Motorcycle Auction 2025

    I am so glad I found out about this 2 months in advance this year. It gives me two months to convince the wife I need a new (to me) Norton. The odds are slim but you never know, I can be like a toddler at times!! :)...

    It's been a while. How did the ride go and how is the tune working out? Are you still grinning? bob

    Rear Brake Pad Recommendation?

    EBC Double H sintered pads. I would bet they make them for the R3. Just make sure you break them in properly so you can brake properly. bob

    Those numbers are for non Touring. IIRC a Touring was tuned for torque instead of hp. They came with < 100hp. With my touring now with TORS, Ramair and a dyno tune I am doing about 145hp and 145 torque. My bike is the one the Nels tune was developed on. nob

    Newbie

    Welcome. I don't think the 0-60 for a Touring has been a subject very often. Triumph said a sub 3 second (2.8ish) time for the Rocket but did not specify which one. As the Touring is de-tuned I would imagine a little bit longer. bob

    Well Lucy, that explains that..... no power, sputtering, etc

    It took a little bit longer than I thought but I am going to call it a wrap. Things completed during unscheduled maintenance due to fuel tank contamination: Replaced Fuel Filter, Fuel Pump, Fuel Pressure Regulator, Stainless Chore Boy type fuel filter baffle, plus all rubber parts in fuel tank...

    2014 Triumph rocket 3 Touring Tune ecu map

    After going back and reading the OP can I assume you recently bought the bike used? I am thinking if you did then the previous owner quite possibly dropped a tune in it. I can't see him not doing it with the mods you say have been done. I think your best bet is to get tune ECU and pull up the...

    2014 Triumph rocket 3 Touring Tune ecu map

    If you have a slip on vs OEM and have put K&N type pods on it without doing anything to tune it, such as still running the OEM tune I don't even have to guess, you are running lean. Go to the resources tab in the banner at the top of the page and search through it to find something that would...

    Saying hi to everyone from Eastern Wa

    Yea, but those nuts in 7 counties control the legislative processes in the state which screws the free state of WA. But I am no longer there so it is not my concern anymore. I spent 20+ years between Spokane Valley and Medical Lake. Welcome to the site. bob

    Update, melted rubber in gas tank

    I don't know if it was the ethanol or the additives to stabilize the fuel or both but my bike sat for a couple of years due to "things". It had fuel and Seafom and Star Tron in the tank with the fuel. Recently when I went to start it is barley ran so because life has finally decided to let me...

    Fuel Pump Replacement

    That does look good. Anything that comes in Triumph bag is crazy expensive. I don't know what you have for a spark plug socket but O'Reillys sells a nice 18mm spark plug socket that has a magnetic ring in it to hold onto the plug. It makes getting them out a snap. I only found out because my...
