    The infamous starter click

    At the end of 2023 my starter was doing the "click" badly. Sometimes it would take 4 or 5 stabs to get it to start. Last winter I installed a relay that takes power straight from the battery to the start solenoid. I did nothing else. I just thought about it today. It hasn't done the click one...

    Anyone heard from Breeze ?

    Has anyone heard if breeze found the problem with his bike ? I tried to PM him but R3 owners wouldn't let me with no explanation.

    LED HEADLIGHTS

    Could any of you fellows recommend a good set of led headlights for an early Rocket ? I've heard some of Chinese knock offs are pretty good. Any suggestions ?

    Tune for an early Rocket

    Hi all ! Does any know if a tune exists for an early Rocket that eliminates the idle stepper from the program so you can remove it without having the check engine light on. Like what was done for the O2 sensor ?

    Silver water pump

    Would any of you former or current rocket captains have a new SILVER water pump you would like to part with ? Mine dripped a little when I got it out this year. It has stopped now, but now I'm leary of it. Let me know if you do. Thanks !

    Hey Triumph !

    I got an idea. Instead of trying to convert the new R3's into a cross country 2 up kinda bike, how about a whole new one ? Resurrect the "Trident" name, use the 2500 motor, but build it more like a standard. With accessories to customize to be a cruiser or a long haul. Make suitable for two...

    Front tire pressure

    I have an "old" R3. I'm running an Avon Cobra 140/75 on the front. I've been running 38psi in it. I just noticed it says max load at 42psi. What are you guys running in yours ?

    Rear wheel bearings, my take

    I recently removed my back wheel for tire replacement and low and behold my wheels bearing are bound up again. I've been reading about people shortening the spacer. I don't agree. I've attached a drawing from All Balls on bearing installation with spacer. In the drawing the "fully seated...

    Similarities

    This is one of the things that attracted me to the Rocket. I always thought the two pipes on one side, and one on the other was really audacious. Almost all three cylinder bikes rounded up or down. Only the baddest ones said "Three in your face" 😁

    Hyperlites

    Hi boys and girls ! I have a set of 16 led Hyperlites. On each side 8 leds are brake lights, 8 are turn signal. I revamped my turn signals last year, so don't need the turn signal capability. I'm wondering if any of you have a 16 led all brake light set you would like to trade for mine. I'd...

    Smartphone's and the not so smart

    About a week and a half ago. Coming home from work (I take the old two lane highway, never any traffic). As I approached a down hill area, I noticed something in my lane. As I got closer it became apparent there was a pick up truck fully in my lane coming at me. Thank goodness I was in my car as...

    The famous starter click

    Today my starter would click but the engine wouldn't turn over. I'm guessing my starter switch on the end of the solenoid is going bad. Can you get replacement parts for them or is it typical Triumph and you have to buy an entire starter ?

    This may be true.......

    But at least we have good taste in motors !
