This has never been an issue to me, but so many threads on the rear brake.
I come from sports bikes where the rear brakes are next to useless..... almost.
Have had the R 3 for about 12 months now and they've never been an issue to me. Riding style perhaps from the past.
What are your...
I have a 2014 R3T. I just converted it to a trike. The wife rides also. Problem is that the lever setup for the T is set to far out for her hands. She has to take her hand off the handle bars to get at the levers. I have tried every source. No adjustable levers for the "T"s. Lots for the...
I flushed my brakes last June and and ever since the front reservoir has been leaking. I believe I overfilled it. Pretty sure it is coming from a little hole on the end- an overflow hole? Anyways, the level is near the low line now as the pic shows. I thought it would stop at the upper...
The stock levers are to far out from the handlebar. My wife says she can not ride until we can get them in closer. I am 6ft 3 with big hands and find it is a reach for me also.
Found out the hard way that the Roadster and touring models have much different levers. Can find for Roadster but...
Anyone know what the replacement Part Number is for:
Front Brake Pads:
Rear Brake Pads:
Thanks in Advance.
Just prepping my list for a deserved long long riding season...
There's a screw and nut mounted in the upper end of the front brake lever on the backside('08 Touring). It is screwed all the way into the lever. I assume it an an adjustment screw of some sort or maybe it presses on the plunger for the brake reservoir or the brake light switch. I can't...
I have noticed that it feels like my front brake just doesn't feel like it's stopping the bike.
And possibly has excessive lever travel.
It don't feel spongy but i tried to bleed it anyway. No difference took it to the local bike repair shop had them bleed it. It is somewhat better now as in...
I had one of these on my previous bike, a '00 Bandit 1200s, just purchased another for the Rocket. It's programmable for different flashing/delays and it does get you noticed when braking. I have mine set to flash 10 times, stay on for 5 seconds, the repeat as long as I hold the brake on. You...
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...
Brake pedal went to the floor around 1500 miles. Had it bled and it’s just done the same thing at 2800 miles.
Triumph just say take it back and get it bled again, but I don’t think that’s (anywhere near) good enough.
Anyone else with this Issue?
Just split the front calipers and fitted new pistons and Seals, but can't seem to find the torque specs for assembly anywhere, anyone got any ideas pls
Has anyone done this ? Replaced line and bleeding fluid/air. Part of front to mid control change. Refers to service manual. Don’t think that’s available. Line does not go to rear brake, directly because of linked system. Not willing to do this without good info. May have to go to Stealer
Due to me doing a dumb thing and splitting my front calipers and losing one of the seals between the halfs I ended up buying a set of 2nd hand calipers.
Now the question is that the pistons don't seem to be working correctly.
These are the pads that came of the sets it looks like one side is...
Hello all ye learned masters of stopping.
My first questions is: What new calipers and brake lines will fit the ABS version of the R3T (2014) without needing fabrication?
Second questions: What do I need to know about doing this swap at home? I get the idea that ABS is a more...
Hello Rocketeers,
Can you please advise where to find my brake light wires on my
R3 Roadster.
Is it behind one of the side covers with the seat removed?
Thanks.
Ride Hard!!!
You may still be able to order and get the components and required extra length cables/lines etc to suit from Triumph dealers. For reference:

Hello Rocketeers,
Getting close to time to change brake pads on The Beast.
What's the best pad material?
Should I go with sintered or semi-sintered?
I have 5500 miles on my bike, does it digest pads the fast?
Any particular brand that's better than the rest?
Galfer, EBC, etc.
Thanks,
