    Am doing my 10k service this weekend

    I have 9925mi on my bike since last February, a 3 day weekend, all the bits and pieces for the job and thanks to folks in this forum access to the knowledge on how to go about this. I am changing spark plugs and changing final drive oil as well though that is not on the schedule. Getting up...

    OEM Parts Source

    I just used Genuine parts for Motorcycle Triumph ROCKET 3 GT Rocket-3 - Triumph to order some odds and ends for my upcoming 10K service and this seems to be the best place to go based on some looking around. Since they are in the UK and I'm in the US they of course charge shipping accordingly...

    Wunderkind Turn Signal Instalation

    I installed these Motorcycle LED turn signals for Triumph Rocket 3 and since they ship to every country except the US I had to get them from Spiegler. They look great and are definitely bright enough however installation was a pain in the arsch. On the front when I started feeling to see where...

    Wheel Tools

    One might think that finding what size tools are needed for wheel removal might be easy, but no it's not. I did find that the front wheel spindle needs a 19mm hex socket but can't find any info on the rear spindle torx bolt, even the manual only states how to remove it and torque values but not...

    Tuneecu post settings

    I've done lots of research on flashing the Penner tune and there seem to be discrepancies between different people. Once the flash is complete and you go into the adjustments where we do NOT reset adaptations, are there any check boxes that need to be checked here or elsewhere such as any ETV...

    10K Self Service

    After 1 year and 8600mi I'm getting close to my 10K service and since I'm finally getting my EasyRizer big blue lift I have decided to do that myself. It doesn't entail anything I have no done before at some point on other bikes other than throttle body balancing. According to the manual it...

    Left Side AUX Power Socket

    Could someone please point me in the right direction on this forum please. There are some posts detailing the socket installation process, I have searched again but can not find it this time. The one video on yt does not show the detail I need.

    Front Tire Choices

    There seem to be more choices in the front tire size, 150/80R17 available. I'm not going with the Cruisetecs since Metzler apparently still has not remedied the cupping problem that's been an issue going back decades. Dunlop makes the Elite-4 in that size and there may be others. What Avon...

    I'm doing an oil change this weekend and am wondering if anyone here has a diagram/video handy on how to remove the lower cowl without breaking anything?

    Where oh where are all the Rockets?

    I just got back from a 2000mi road trip from California to Washington and back plus whatever riding I did while up there. Not a single other Rocket in sight anywhere only people asking what it is at every stop. I know this is not their top selling bike and maybe they are more common anywhere but...

    New Tires Soon...888?

    Though this has been discussed previously I'm asking this with the far fetched hope that the 888s are not as wonky as they were then. Cruisetecs seem to be hard to come by and when I get back from my road trip I'll be needing new rubber. I don't want to deal with the rear guard mod for the...

    Alarm Disc Lock

    I'm looking for an alarm disc lock and there are tons of choices. The Oxford Alpha XA14 seems decent but I want to avoid going through multiple units to find one that properly fits the Rocket. So what do you use?

    Bikini Top

    Has anyone found a bikini top that looks good on the rocket just to keep the sun off the seat and handle bar?

    Happy 3000 to me!!

    On Feb 19, 2024 I rode my brand new 2023 Rocket 3R home and today the beast turned 3000 miles old. This is by far the most fun bike I have ever had or ridden. It's a real odd ball and I love everything about it, even the "peculiarities" are just what they are; a real work of industrial art. The...

    Not wasting $$$ on dealer oil changes anymore

    I had them do my 600mi service and since my clutch judder problem that appeared around 800mi has been remedied now I went in for another oil change at 2800mi just in case there might be stuff floating around in there and if there was something weird about the oil coming out there could be no...

    Puig Naked New Generation Windscreen is a BUST!

    I've used this thing for 3 months now and I'm done with it. The air coming off the top of it hits me right in the neck which is actually not uncomfortable but drastically increases wind noise in my helmet, I can't even hear the music blasting into my ears properly. My Shoei GT Air 2 helmet was...

    Stock Seat = Comfy, "Day-Long" Anyone?

    I am 6'2, 240lbs and find the stock seat on the R very comfortable. After spending 2 days in a row riding my hiney felt no discomfort which is rather rare for a stock seat. I had already made a one day ride-in appointment with Russel Cycle Products in Shasta City on my way back from WA later...

    Tire Gel Bad!

    For some unknown reason even to myself I decided to put tire gel on my rubbers only to wonder where all those greasy little specs came from. I have never used that crap before on anything probably mostly due to the fact that I hate cleaning vehicles, especially wheels. So here I'm using a dish...
