    2005 Rocket

    Thanks for the welcome and the feedback. I think you just have to accept that the transmission is not the Moto GP precision you find in sport bikes and realize it is closer to a tractor. :) I just cruise and enjoy.

    Transmission issue

    I downloaded the repair manual for it before I even bought the bike. I already bought the recommended Mobil 1 oil for it. I plan on changing it over the weekend. According to the Triumph dealer I bought it from the bike was on consignment and past due for its change based on time not distance...

    2005 Rocket

    2005 Rocket

    I just purchased a 2005 Rocket with 8000 miles only driven by a little old Man on Sundays. I was looking for a cruiser and my other bike is a 2013 Kawasaki ZX14 and I wanted something with similar attitude. I am thinking a turbo or Carpenter kit would just about be right. Stock for now.
