    Check your tires!!

    On my way to Sturgis, blow out at 140 kph (about 87 mph). Didn't lay it down. Wasn't my time I guess. When I left on the trip tires seemed good. Be careful out there.

    For Sale Center stand from '07 Classic

    Selling my center stand from my Classic. I never used it so I took it off. It was on the bike when I bought it, it is a Rivco. Shipping will be expensive (kinda heavy :) ). I am not sure of the value how about $150 OBO. It does have some wear marks as per the pics. You must pay the shipping.

    Loud "smack" and it doesn't start

    Hey everyone , finally got a chance to putter around with my bike during all the craziness that is this pandemic. Last year I installed a keyless system (thank you DEcosse) and it worked great even though I find out I hooked up the wrong wire. This year I install a new battery it starts up fine...

    Triumph fog/driving light bulb replacement

    I think I know the answer to this but I gotta ask anyway. I am changing the bulbs in my Triumph fog lights, you know the H3 bulbs with the little pigtail. I took the back off the the light (see my other post where I screwed that up) and pulled out the bulb. Now I want to confirm that I have to...

    Throttle bodies pop?

    Hi all, finally got my rocket on the road from a long cold winter hibernation. Everything seems just fine, I replaced the TPS over the winter and balanced the throttle bodies. I now have an occasional "pop"/ backfire that seems to come from the throttle body area. I think it has happened...

    Triumph "fog/driving" lights - my bad....

    Ok, this is where it is a case of "seems logical" and zero previous knowledge. I decided, as I am getting ready to get my bike on the road, I thought I would take a look at the driving lights and maybe do an upgrade to LED or something. After finally getting the front lens off (thanks to who...

    After winter start-up

    Finally, I am going to start up my Rocket after its long winter hibernation. Last year I was out starting it up every 1-2 weeks but this year it has been parked in a friends garage for the winter. I was wondering if anyone has some good advice for initial start-up after sitting for this long and...

    TPS and Throttlebodies (TB's?)

    Ok, my bike is parked, it is the middle of winter and time to do some tinkering. I am replacing the TPS. I have done lots of reading in the forums but I do have one question. Well actually 2 but the second has nothing to do with TPS. When I replace the TPS do I have to remove the throttle bodies...

    pop/backfire from throttle bodies

    I am not sure if this is a problem or something normal from putting on Ram Air. I notice that I get a pop/backfire sound from under the bear claw once and awhile. I am assuming this is a backfire from the throttle bodies and might be due to the ram air as I didn't hear it before it was...

    Cleaning TPS

    I think (oh god I am in trouble now) that I read on here about cleaning the primary TPS with WD40 or something like that and that seemed to work for some riders. I have ordered a replacement TPS but in the meantime I was thinking about cleaning the old one on my bike. Can I remove, clean and...

    Ram Air Noises?

    I finally got my ram air installed and went for a long weekend ride. A couple of things happened, when I first fired up the bike after the install the orange engine light came on but went off shortly after going for a test ride. Also, I now notice a "knocking" sound. Not a engine knocking sound...

    No start

    Ok, slightly long story, I installed just finished installing ramair. The process had started just over a week ago but got stalled as I misplaced the IAT extension cable. In the mean time I installed some engine guards and highway pegs. I also wanted to adjust my clutch and shifter height. I...

    Ok, hopefully will have ramair installed by tomorrow night and looking to head out this weekend travelling to northern Washington state. Apparently going to be pissing rain this weekend in my area but hoping less in the Omak Washington area. Anyone suggest a campsite around Omak? A bike friendly...

    Engine guard install

    I have some engine guards that I am wanting to install. I went to loosen the top bolt that holds the engine (yes I had a jack under it to hold the engine up)to mount the guard but I could not get that bolt out no matter how much pressure I could put on it. Am I missing something? Any help or...

    Clutch adjustment

    I am hoping for some help and advice. I happened to notice that clutch actuator arm (I have no idea what else to call it) is not lined up as it is suppose to be. I have included a pic, I kinda stole off another posting (I hope I didn't break any rules doing that). The mark on the spline does not...

    Misplaced IAT sensor extention harness

    OMG, I went to install RamAir on my 07 Classic and I seem to have misplaced the effing wiring extension harness for Intake Air Temperature sensor. Does anyone know where I can get a replacement (hopefully other than from England)? I could splice wire and do a soldering job etc. but I really...

    Gear Lever Adjustment

    Ok, finally got myself some descent riding boots - yeah for me :) but now I really don't have room to fit my toe under the gear shift lever. Is the adjustment to allow more room an easy thing to do on my 2007? What about the possibility of finding a heel and toe shifter? Thanking you in advance...

    Putting it away for the winter

    Sad but true, it it time for me here in Canada to put my R3 away for the winter. Unfortunately it won't be garaged like my previous bikes. Any "make sure you..." suggestions before the snow flies here and the temp drops like crazy. I do have a center stand which I can put back on and use that...

    Transmission issue

    Ok, I was being an idiot but just got back from a ride and my rocket was idling funny. So I put it into neutral and revved it up (no clutch) and it popped into first, lurched ahead hard and stalled. I tried to start and ride it to see of it was effed up. Hard to find neutral, had to gear up and...
