    Online OE Triumph parts in US

    Is there a link or forum section that gives all of the available online vendors who sell OE maintenance and replacement parts? Calmoto.com is one place I found.

    How high can you put the rev limit safely on a stock Roadster?

    But the point is this.....given the complexity of raising the rev limit, is it worth the hassle given how the bike is intended to be used? Sure, I can see an advantage if you primarily care about optimizing your trap times at the local drag strip. But for the vast majority of people who ride on...

    New Corbin Rumble Seat Review - 2015 RR3

    I don't see how you could do that without modifying the seat. The Corbin seat actually has fairly good lower back support due to the shape. Maybe try to retrofit a strap-on upper support to the seat? 2000 miles now on the seat and still love it. It's becoming a little more comfortable now...

    Roadster Front Tire Wear

    Couple clarifications: 1. Motorcycle engineers do indeed design the motorcycle geometry, suspension, and other design parameters around the tires. The tire profile, grip, tread pattern, are all evaluated and specified to work as a complete system within given performance parameters. Those that...

    Roadster Front Tire Wear

    I have the stock ME880 tires on my bike. Love them. Got about 5000 miles so far and still plenty of tread left. I don't expect to get past 10K miles on ANY set of motorcycle tires and that's perfectly OK with me. People who try to argue that motorcycle tires should last for 20K miles or more...

    Roadster Front Tire Wear

    How do you know there is nothing wrong with the suspension or frame? People are waaaay too quick to blame the black round thing on the wheels but forget about everything else those are attached to. Did you have the frame scanned? Did you inspect the suspension and take measurements to make sure...

    Roadster Front Tire Wear

    <<< Engineer here Uneven or strange tire wear is NOT due to the tire itself, but rather the suspension or frame alignment problems. People love to blame the stock tires for wear or cupping problems but they neglect to look at the bike's suspension and frame alignment to make sure the bike is...

    New Corbin Rumble Seat Review - 2015 RR3

    800 miles on the seat so far and I love it. Very comfortable when riding alone and the kid loves being able to ride with me without worrying about sliding off the back. Build quality and durability seem to be top notch. The seat is firm but not too firm.

    New Corbin Rumble Seat Review - 2015 RR3

    Yeah I get that some folks don't like the "looks" of the seat but that's a minor thing to me. It is a little oversized for the shape of the bike but if it's comfy and hauls my kid around without sliding off the back I don't care. Function > form.

    New Corbin Rumble Seat Review - 2015 RR3

    I recently purchased a Corbin Rumble seat for my 2015 Rocket Roadster 3 so I can take my kids for rides. I'm not a fan of the traditional sissy bar setup and found the Rumble seat a good match for my needs. Below is a short initial review of the seat after only one ride. I will report back after...

    Where to go next?

    Check health/condition of the battery. Make sure you have adequate voltage. Remove all the modifications and start with a stock setup. This will rule out the mod variables. Add one mod back at a time until you find the problem. You can't easily troubleshoot a problem like this without stepping...

    Smartphone mount options

    Remember, I'm not mounting my smartphone for calling/texting or even using the GPS. I want it mounted where visable so I can monitor TuneECU while riding. I think some of you old dudes are reading way too much into this. Settling on Ram Mounts but not sure exactly where/how to mount. I noticed...

    Smartphone mount options

    How the hell else am I going to sext my wife while riding at 70mph?!? You can't do that with you phone in your back pocket.

    Smartphone mount options

    Sure, I get that but I'm using my Note 3 to monitor ECU parameters via TuneECU so I need something I can keep on the bike (handlbars) regardless of weather. Something I can simply unplug and grab the phone with me when I leave the bike. I could get a case for the phone but that leaves the USB...

    Smartphone mount options

    Ram is very nice but they don't really offer a phone mount system that is "waterproof" or at least water resistant? How exactly did you mount the RAM? Bar mount? Where?

    Tire Gard (Wireless Tire Pressure Gauge)

    But the tire pressure gauge, regardless of how accurate it is, won't tell you if your tire pressure is dropping in the rear tire while you are on your 150 mile ride. I have a very nice, accurate pressure gauge I use at home before I ride. But I also rely on a TPMS for not only double checking...

    Tire Gard (Wireless Tire Pressure Gauge)

    You're missing the point of this system. It can be used to constantly monitor tire pressure while riding to let you know if you have a slow leak of get a nail in the tire. It gives you enough warning to either get off the road to fix the problem or find a shop to repair it. A tire pressure...

    Smartphone mount options

    For those of you who use a smartphone while riding (TuneECU, GPS, etc)....what kind of mounting and holder are you using? Is it waterproof of just open? What kind of mounting system did you use? My default go-to company is RAM Mounts but I'm curious what others have used. Post pictures if you...

    Fuel/ octane

    Carbon build up has nothing to do with fuel octane. It has everything to do with fuel/air combustion efficiency and how well your engine is tuned. The difference is most likely attributed to cleaner/detergents in the fuel. Some brands have better/more cleaners which will prevent carbon build up...

    What Octane fuel do you run?

    Incorrect. Octane rating is simply a measure of the fuel's ability to resist detonation (not to be confused with pre-ignition). It has nothing to do with how complete the fuel/air mixture is burned or how much is wasted. Running a fuel octane higher than what the engineers recommended will NOT...
