    Another season all but done

    Hello darkness, my old friend I've come to put you down again Because of weather softly creeping Now is the time you're best left sleeping And the vision that was planted in my brain Still remains within the sound of silence In restless dreams, you sit alone Down no streets of cobblestone Not...

    PSA - Pack your spare key

    Public Service Announcement for NEW or CURRENT R3 owners... Seems I may have been the first but not the last to fall victim to an R3 that won't start as a result of a bad FOB. In my case (may not be yours), the NVRAM (Non-Volatile Random Access Memory) of the electronic key FOB got corrupted...

    R3 Brakes pads due?

    Anyone with a 2020 or newer Rocket 3 changed their brakes yet? I'm coming up on 40,000km (25,000miles) and with another long trip in a few weeks I'm just curious what others are seeing with respect to their brakes? I truly get that it depends on the rider, the riding style, the roads, the...

    Do I need to install the Quick-Shifter on my R3GT?

    Do I need to install the Quick-Shifter on my R3GT? I didn't get it when I bought it new but I see some on here use it. I see other models like the Triumph Triple has it. I like to launch it from start, I like to accelerate in traffic. Ok, I ride it like its stolen (when the wife's not...

    Triumph's TriTech - How does it hold up?

    I ride in the rain, hard rain, torrential rain, as best I can during our weeks long summer trips. My wife has recently bought an HD rain suit to keep her dry on her HD Heritage Classic. I generally only buy Gore-Tex gear (Klim, Triumph, etc.) BUT it looks like Triumph has decided to do its own...

    Triumph's Tritech vs Gore-Tex

    Has anyone used a Triumph Jacket (or pants) that uses their proprietary Tritech material? How did it hold up and under what conditions? I suspect they are cheapening out on Gore-Tex to keep costs down but like Dianese's Drytech, and other similar materials, it doesn't hold up. I ride in all...

    TriTech from Triumph

    I have noticed that Triumph is leaning away from Gore-tex in their jackets, pants, gloves, and boots in favour of a material called TriTech. I trust Gore-tex. Simply put when worn properly it keeps you from getting soaked. The tests suggest that Gore-tex is good to 35000ml/m while the TriTech...

    Failed Key-Fob ended 7500km Trip short

    Our annual bike trip was supposed to take us from Toronto to Newfoundland and back. A trip estimated to be 7500km over 25 days. We were going to see some great sights, some great roads, and spend some time with my son in Halifax. On or about day 3 of the trip I get the ever popular "Key-Fob...

    Gas Range and Mileage Remaining

    I was down to 2km (two) on my range indication on my display. When I filled up, the tank took 16.8L. Is there a reserve if it hits 0 (zero)? For reference, my wife's Harley goes to 0 THEN a notice appears that says "R 75km" remaining (which she too learned today). I was really sweating the...

    These are definitely not for sale. I am definitely not taking orders. Which would be a direct violation of the rules that can be found at the bottom of EVERY page (as I am told).

    TriTun R3GT Technical Bulletin?

    Need some R3GT/R help - Rear Brake Wires

    I recently bought a Smart Brake Module ( a nifty simple device out of Europe for my bike). It basically taps into the wires of the rear brake light, has an accelerometer in it which detects when you are slowing down via engine braking (rather than just applying front or rear brakes). I tend to...

    Triumph Owners Unite!!!

    Harley-Davidson is to the motorcycling culture what Coke is to the beverage industry. Wouldn't it be great if Triumph was the Pepsi, rather than the RC Cola? There is an International group of Triumph Riders under the banner of Hinckley Triumph Owners Club (HTOC). It has members in 34...

    Performance Question

    I have a 2014 Rocket III Roadster. When I turn the throttle, regardless of RPM it takes off like a banshee into the night. That is to say, you feel the power instantly in your head, neck, seat everywhere. I do have the Dave Platt Outlaw exhaust on it (no CAT). However, when I do the same on...

    And another thing (R3GT/R Key Fob)...

    Any suggestions to adding a key-ring to the R3GT / R key fob? The hole alignment makes it literally useless for any standard keychain ring. I had two tie-wraps in mine (for redundancy) but it looks like ass! Anyone solved this? Photos if you have them. Thanks in advance.

    My Rocket 3 GT Speedometer is out!

    My Rocket 3 GT Speedometer is out! When doing 120kph (via GPS and phone) my R3GT speedometer reads 128kph. An 8kph delta, that's 5mph. I called the dealer and the service person said "Yeah they do it like that on purpose!" To which I asked "Can I get it fixed?" to which he replied "Nope...
