My 05 has developed an occasional "clacking " sound, that is the best I can describe it. It seems to be coming from the front of the bike but am not completely sure. I have checked the front & rear wheel bearings, steering head bearings. There does not seem to be undue play in the drive train...
Has anyone out there experienced the paint can rattle on a newer bike, say 2010 models and newer. My 2013 R3T has it at idle and worse at about 1200 rpm when cold.
Really would love to get this for my motorcycle trailer, but unfortunately they only make them for Harley's . Looks so simple and easy, no straps needed.
Anyone here can make one to work for Rockets?

Hey Guys,
My bike is 100% stock, only 2200KM on the clock and I am using 87 Octane fuel. Today when I was coming home from work, there was an incredible amount of traffic. And when I mean incredible, its stop and go for miles in every direction, the worst you could possibly imagine. I tried...
Sorry, this is a long one since I tend to wax anecdotal once I get typing.
This last Wednesday I decided to stop by Quaker Steak and Lube where they have a weekly "bike night". It's not a very grand affair, but it brings in 100 or so bikes and it's a fun place to check out some nice machines...
No real technical difficulties here but I've noticed that after I turn the bike off with the key, it makes some cool mechanical noises coming from the left side of the motor... I was just curious as to what the bike does after 10-15 seconds of being turned off that these noises happen. Fuel pump...

You may be interested that the Bike shed alternative custom bike show is on this weekend 23rd and 24th May 2014 at Tobacco Dock London. I'm going to see what could be done with the Rocket. :evil...
How come I have to clean my wife's and daughters bikes as well as my own, I swear when they are not within ear shot I am going to tell them what I think
Over the past few years, PCP finance schemes have exploded into the motorcycle world to such an extent, dealers are now reporting that over half their sales are from buyers using the Personal Contract Purchase scheme. The idea is that you put your deposit down, which can be cash or your part...
Hey all you Michigan Rocket riders (ya, both of you ;)) Don't forget the blessing of the bikes in Baldwin on May 18. Our group hangs out by the windsock. Come on out ! Saw my first rocket in person at the blessing in May 2009. Was so impressed I bought one in July !
My bike died just before Easter. Ignition dead but the horn and indicators worked and battery was full. Had it picked up and taken back to the dealer. They couldn't find any fault with it when they looked and they said the ignition mod has already been done on the bike. I collected the bike and...
