I’ve a conundrum, while deep cleaning after purchase of my latest R111 Classic I’ve discovered that the clutch cable was routed wrong. So I put up between the headlights and top yoke and the cable stops about an inch short. Front brake pipe from Master cylinder is tight as a guitar string as...
I've been putting this 2006 barn find Rocket 3 classic together and got it running perfectly. I took it for a ride and it has a strange tendency to kind of lurch and make a pop sound at about 5,000 RPM in second gear it doesn't pop out of gear per se but sounds almost like a chain slap any...
Hello all, the Rocket 3 has always been a bucket list bike for me and I was fortunate enough to get my hands on a very clean 05 with about 40k on the odometer. The guy I purchased it from said when he purchased it last summer it had a Check Engine light and it was for the Air Temperature Sensor...
Hi all
Hoping a sympathetic soul will help me out as I'm getting myself very confused searching the internet for a clear answer
I'm looking to upgrade the stock front and rear suspension on my 2007 R3 Classic but am very new to replacing stock parts
Searching around, I think the 412...
Hi all.
I have 05' classic, de cat, aftermarket slip-on and Ramair.
It's kinda jumpy on the gas, I would like to have it more smooth without loosing my performance when in a playful mode.
It also has a tendency to backfire at times.
Does anyone have a solid tune for my needs?
Thanks in advance.
Is it possible to replace the paint set of a 2005 classic with a new set?
I am tired of the red. Do not like it very much. Would love to put a mat black with stripes on it. IOr just black
Hi all! I'm new on R3, but not to motorcycling. I've been active on the Honda Shadow and Honda VTX forums for years. Recently, I picked up an '05 Classic parts bike with the plan to swap the front end onto my VTX1800. I'm looking forward to that project, and am also parting out the rest of the...
I have a 2006 Rocket 3 Classic. The clutch works fine on cold start, then when it gets warm - in a minute or two - will progressively fail. Stalls, I have to put it in neutral to re-start it, and it grinds if you try to downshift into first. Let it sit and cool and you will get another minute...
I am in Houston, TX.
I hoping to get some advice on a price for my classic Rocket III with around 19K on the clock.
It is in very good condition and well maintained. Always garage kept.
I have lots of upgrades (still have all original parts). I am better off to put old components back and sell...
Hello. Asking for a advice to choose new coolant, going to drain the old ones out first.
Manual says to use "Mobil antifreeze". Idk if that's discontinued already, but I cant get that anywhere in my country. From product site I found out that it meets the standard "BS 6580"
I could get some...
I have read everything I could read about this issue but still can't figure it out. I get 1 click when I push the start button. I seem to be able to start the bike in 2 ways.
1. Wait for the weather to warm up and it seems to start more often, but I still experience the click.
2. Put it in...
Got a new girl in my life (other than my Rocket) and she wants to ride. Time to reinstall the passenger seat and back rest and add some saddle bags. I have a windscreen, but hate the look of screens (and fairings for that matter), but I need her to be comfy and think some wind protection would...
I only have a fly screen, and would like a windshield. Without all of the hardware, seems the only option I can find is Madstad. Anyone know of other options. Clearview, 7jurock an others require you have hardware.
Hi there everybody, I am in the process of recommissioning a friends Rocket 3 Classic which has been laid up for a while, carried out a service, fresh oil, oil filter, new spark plugs, removed air & fitted a ram air filter system. Fitted a new fully charged battery, switched ignition on lots of...
I have some after market parts that came off a 2005 classic, all prices are OBO (OR BEST OFFER), cleaning out the garage and would rather see someone use these parts instead of them just sitting in my garage, buyer pays shipping or we can work out a deal, local pick available also, I live in...
Do any of you out there have a Rocket III trike with mechanical reverse? I'm curious how they have setup the reversing. Pics of any of the components would be a huge help.
