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...

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...

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?

I have a question for those riders in hot climates doing city driving. I currently live in Alberta, but plan to move back to Phoenix soon, I love my R3T, but even when its 30 degrees and I am in traffic in the city, the engine heat between my legs is unbelievable. Does anyone have a suggestion...

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.

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...

I am sooooo pis*ed off now...:mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad:... I have been very nice and caring with my 2008 R3T and I don't drive it hard. I just had the engine out a disassembled in April (see my posts)... Today I was leaving my office and turned onto the street and in about 200 meters the...

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!

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 ?

My friends rocket 3 cruising at 65mph motor just cut off. Still had lights and gauges. No trouble shooting codes, no check engine soon,the motor just quit. As he was coasting it was like the motor was just free wheeling, like it had no compression. Sitting on the side of the road, pulled...

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...

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...

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.)...

Hi Folks! I know some of you here are a lot more techincally inclined then I am regarding engines and stuff, but I am always trying to learn! I was just curious about something I've noticed between my car and my bike. My Car has a 2.5L i4 in it, and my Rocket has a 2.3L i3 in int. When I drive...

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.

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

Hi I would like a set of engine bars, the new design 32mm ones and a set of highway pegs and mounts, so if any one in Aus has some for sale please send me a PM or email me at flyreels@hotmail.com Cheers Pete

I bought these from a German seller, I installed them and preferred the more streamline look without the bars, so here they are $200 plus shipping They are for the rocket roadster

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. With the engine off but the electrical system energized w/ the cut-off switch and key to RUN...
