    Help taking the engine out, no idea how honestly

    Hi folks— quick question and any real-world photos/step-by-step would be gold. I’m swapping an engine and I’ve hit my limit. I’m used to pulling small two-strokes and the little triple out of my vintage Bonneville, but this unit is a completely different animal — big, heavy, and stubborn. I’m a...

    Gears not engaging, after being rough with the gear shifter.

    Hey family, This morning on my way to work I noticed something strange. Riding in a pair of new, chunky work boots, the shifts into 3rd and 4th felt rougher than usual (5th was getting worse too). I figured maybe it was just me treating the gearbox wrong with the big boots—lesson learned. But...

    I think my engine was made in '23, though my model is '25

    Today found this written date on the engine when I was fixing something below, generally unseen from the side. On the pic it looks like it is easy to see, but that surface that it is written on is parallel with the ground and I did not see it until now.

    Unexpected engine pulsing in 4th gear

    Just got totally new '25 R3GT, keeping it in rain mode for a few weeks. Found that when I am in 4th gear, around 1700rpm, 34-36mph, the bike kind of pulses, the engine sound and kind of come-and-go feeling. Happens even under slight acceleration in that range. I don't think the engine is...
