    I'm looking for a pair of engine guards. Which ones do you use? I will also want to put highway pegs on them too...

  2. Engine coolant

    I need to add a little coolant to my bike and I noticed the owner's manual calls for a specific Triumph brand and type of coolant. I know that many owner's manuals for many of the manufacturers call for their own brand of fluid types when other brands can be used. Could I just use Prestone, or...

    Grey Engine Paint source?

    My new to me 2005 R3 engine has a bunch of large bubbles in the powder coat on the right side of the engine. I want to remove them and prime and paint to slow down the deterioration. Anyone know of a close color match for the grey?

    05 Engine Swap

    I blew out 4th gear on my 05 1k miles after 40k service. Looking for an engine that will fit, not sure if other years will bolt up. Any ideas? or where I can get transmission repaired.

  6. Coolant on the left side of my engine case last night...

    Hesitant to post this since I haven't had time to determine where the leak is coming from yet, but I'll throw it out there in case someone has had similar experiences. Searched the forum and found a few threads on coolant leaks, but mine is showing up on the left side of the case in front of...

    Engine Rebuild Videos

    I'm curious if anyone has seen, or can possibly point me in the direction of, an engine rebuild video for the Rocket's engine? It's not a need I any way (my bike is doing just fine), it's just something I'm interested in. Thanks for your help!

    Engine vibration

    How do you guys feel about your engine vibration? My touring is very harsh as it approaches 3000 rpm so much so I tend to cruise at lower revs where it seems happier just wondering if I have a bad one ?

    Engine Management Warning Light

    I returned home from a short ride on Sunday and sat at idle for about 2 minutes while I was on board before the engine started missing and sounded like it was firing on two pots. I slipped it into first and rode for about 50 metres before the third pot came back on line. Since then the engine...

    Chrome engine block?

    How is this look accomplished? Are there years/models that come with a chrome/grey engine block, or is this sandblasted, etc?

    So I just put on a new slipon muffler. small yet fairly open. I was letting her idle a bit to cook off the crap in the muffler. When I came back to the bike, the temp light was on. I shut her down and grabbed my laptop and hooked up TuneECU to get a reading. 128C!!!! WTF!?!?!?! I heard the fan...

    Got a tweety bird in my engine!

    2013 r3t. 4000 miles Stock exhaust, running Power-Tripp tune. Just removed the stock air filter and plenum, replaced with triple K&N filters under the bearclaw. Now when I accelerate it sounds like a tweety bird is trying to escape from the engine. (Or exactly like an early 1970s VW Beetle.)...

    Take a look at this custom bike with Rocket 3 engine.

    I was just killing time watching YouTube videos when I spotted a R3 engine in a OC/ Jessie James looking custom bike. Just thought you guys might find it interesting. The bike is at about 19:00 into the video.

  17. Heat from engine

    Can anyone help me? I ride in Arizona where temps in the summer are always over 100. The heat from the engine burns my leg so much that it spoils the fun. I was looking for something to wrap around the right leg to keep it cool in the heat. Thanks Ghost

    Rocket starts, runs normal, can shift into first gear (and all gears). However, when I straighten the handlebars from the left-leaning, parked position to the 11 o'clock position; the engine cuts out.
