Today, as I was riding to work I stopped at a traffic light. and the bike stalled. I started it again and she just stalled again. She won't idle. She'll drive but I really have to work at keeping the idle going so I can get into 1st and so on.
If I'm driving and I let off the gas she'll stall...
I really love my new TFC and wonder how you all feel about you new bike? There was a lot of misgivings voiced about it as it was being announced by the old guard on the forum. There was concern about the new electronics, the reliability of a new model, the look being to much of a copy of other...
Hi All,
Looking for some recomendations for a bike for my missus, she currently has a T100 but the bike is very top heavy and when she is trying to reverse or manouvre the bike it is a struggle for her as she can bearly touch the ground. She had a Suzuki Intruder before that (VL250) which was...
Hi hoping to pick my GT up in the next week. My thoughts are now turning to lifting the bike for cleaning, tyre changes etc, and wondered what lifts you guys are using.
I was looking at an eazyriser big blue lift.
They do a dedicated lifting kit for the 2300 but not at present for the 2500, so I...
Went for a little ride yesterday with my wife on her new 2020 Spyder RT. It was a great day for a ride. She was a little upset at me. People kept walking up to us at the fuel stop and she expected them to ask about the new RT but instead they wanted to know all about the Rocket. This thing draws...
We keep losing oil cap/dip stick off. I'm thinking it's under hard acceleration. Is anyone else having this issue?
Is there a way to remedy it ? Venting crankcase to exhaust or better venting in general.
Riding my 07 classic the other day an (idling along in second gear) all the sudden she quits running. After being towed home I removed the plugs which look ok but found I'm only getting spark to the
front cylinder. I'm thinking it didn't lose two coils at once so maybe an ICU issue? Where to...
Is anyone interested in meeting up in Daytona during Bike Week or cruising the following 3 weeks in central Florida?

I'll be coming to Florida on March 5th and departing April 4th and staying near Orlando.

Afternoon Everybody.
For peace of mind, I changed the oil in my R3R today even if the person I bought it from said they did. I went with Mobile 1 4t 10w/40 and the Wix 51358 filter. End up putting right around 5.5 quarts and the oil is right up to the top line of the dip stick.
Since the R3R...
It seems that a lot of threads are going that are dealing with electrical problems. This interesting thing is they are all on the older bikes.:rolleyes::laugh::laugh::laugh:
There has been some discussion of the fears concerning the new R3 electronics. Looks like the older bikes are ones...
Just got my R3 Touring. Bought in from out of state. Was hoping that it might fit better than my VTX1800R. Like my 1800, I've put handle bar risers which bring the bar higher and closer, but I put them on backwards pushing them out. That helps. I've also gone with extended hi way pegs...
Got to play for about 200 miles in the Ozarks yesterday and I am in love with this bike. The power is great but that's not what impressed me the most. The handling is what really got me. I was going through familiar roads faster than I ever had without effort. Never felt like I was pushing it...
Has anyone jacked up the Rocket with a piece of ply on a flat motorcycle jack the kind that is about 18in long x 10in wide. I don't want to be messing around making plates or buying new Jack's as the one I have has served me well with all my other bikes I can't see a problem if the weight is...
We brought a Rocket in 2013 and only done approx 6000klms
We had a unfortunate incident and lost our business with a fire. The insurance company gave us hell
and my mental health has suffered . I have been in hospital for the last couple of months getting treatment
For PTSD and...
Anyone have any recommendation on 120 VAC blowers to dry the bike (preferably inexpensive). I've seen the heated MC blowers - are they really that much better than a home store leaf blower?
I'm tired of fixing my gas blower and having mix for it. The only thing I use it for now is drying the...
