    LSR Rocket 3: The Beginning....

    On my God, what a big thanks to Kevin Frazier for directing me to this link. SpazOnaR3, WELL DONE. I am green with envy. I will try to follow all your posts and digest them before I become a pest with questions but wow, you did in one year that I have planned or hoped to do for many years. I...

    For Sale wants to sell '05 R3

    Complete set of Stock pipes with Cat delete. In good shape. Came off of Steves bike (Pegasus) when I swapped him the Jardines for stock in case I got a ticket with the headers that Sam made. Make me an offer and they can go to a good home.

    For Sale wants to sell '05 R3

    And Tribal as far as the price, if I could sell it to a Captain or his/her friend that would ride it, (and come here to pick everything up), I would be delighted to get $2,000. I know someone could part it out and make a few dollars on it, but I would rather know it is back on the road. It is...

    For Sale wants to sell '05 R3

    Tribal, Long story and I wanted to get the picture of second gear up before I told the story. When the bike was new it had the tractor transmission clunk when you put it in first. I wasn't quite as bothered as most owners because the bike had about 6,000 miles on it, so it was much smoother...

    For Sale wants to sell '05 R3

    Following all the posts and advice. I was stung a little to think anyone would think the motor was seized but I realize Pegasus is the only one who remembers me here. So it was a fair warning to others to beware. I was sure it is a broken wire, but the joke I tried to make about it maybe...

    For Sale wants to sell '05 R3

    Truth in advertising. There are little flaws all over the bike. One of the stand offs on the header came loose and I stuck it back on, which burned off the powdercoat. There is another that needs to be tack welded, also visible in the same photo. There are stickers from El Mirage which...

    For Sale wants to sell '05 R3

    The paint on the gas tank had to be repainted because we spilled some brake fluid on the tank at El Mirage. I tried to tone down the yellow a little (too much on the front fender) but I lost my way and I don't think the tank matches the rest of the paint very well at all. Canecorso you are...

    For Sale wants to sell '05 R3

    This is how it sits right now. I last ran the mile at El Mirage in November 2017, had a disappointing run, brought it home and parked it. Got very busy at work, and didn't start to service everything until Sept 2018. I pulled all the race parts off, (except the dead man switch) and put new...

    For Sale wants to sell '05 R3

    You all have valid thoughts on the likely cause. I have chased this with the bike since the bike was new. The initial problems with so intermittent that I couldn't track it down. First time it happened I had a few friends give me a push in the parking lot of a local burger stop, (Tom's Farm...

    For Sale wants to sell '05 R3

    I would seriously question whether someone who took 3 hours to move a photo from his iPhone to a post on R3 owners.net should be allowed to handle sharp objects. Tribal this is a shot of the Odometer. 38,061 miles. Its the real mileage. Even the times I ran it at El Mirage I left the Speedo...

    Just did a picture direct from phone. Didn’t realize that would work.

    They are Sams pipes. Remove the plug, set off car alarms from 100 yards out. Close it down to a whisper or take one too many spacers out and it will only run at idle. COMPLETELY adjustable. Which is why I always kept it wide open and now am partially deaf! Lol.

    This is a lousy picture. When the bike is out in daylight I’ll shoot some pics with details of every wart and flaw.

    For Sale wants to sell '05 R3

    I didn't realize so many of you had responded! Thank You all! I was texting back and forth to "Aquila" and didn't realize that was a PM. So no one here was in the loop. I was explaining to Aquila how badly I want it out of the garage. All at once, not piece by piece if I can help it, and...

    Thought I recognized that set of Sam's pipes on your bike. Great looking bike!

    For Sale wants to sell '05 R3

    I've been away from the forum for a long time. I am considering selling my 2005 R3 roadster and I wonder if I can sell it as is, or part it out. I can't really ride it any longer, secondary to a neuropathy in the legs that impairs my balance, and an advancing age that impairs my strength. I...

    How to remove the ignition switch

    I wonder how many have used this thread in the past 3 years. I went to change the switch today and couldn't remember if it can be done without pulling off he upper triple clamp. This thread reviewed the whole process and was a lot more helpful than the service manual. I did pull the upper...

    starting issue

    I've dealt with this off and on for some time. I have found that sometimes it was the battery. Many times I have had to replace the battery after two years. When it cranks but doesn't start, and then on the next try only the relay clicks, that seems to be a battery going bad. I have managed...

    Fork oil Top off.

    I hear ya. I try to avoid maintenance things. They just don't have the thrill of years gone by, but I started this on a Sat night etc... As long as the motor is still stock, things like cam tensioner, or even valve adjust, I'll load it on the trailer and take it to the dealer. They have...
