Sorry for the second post about the bike I checked out today, but something else came to mind.
At idle, there's a slight ticking noise. The guy was nice enough to let me ride it and I didn't notice it then, only at idle. The bike has less than 6500 miles on it so I don't "think" it's an issue...
Friends, the engine went off twice on the fourth gear wen negotiating a curve and pulling the clutch?? Is it an issue?? happened twice 20 miles apart.Downshifted and started it started again, power to panel is ok?? FYi iam breaking in still with 550miles on the bike.
Any suggestions?
My son came over this morning to help pull the engine. I put some 6x6 blocks under it then used some 1x4s & 2x4s for shoring. I have a chain fall in the shop and the air MC lift. Lowered the stand used the chain fall to shake a bit. Engine came out just like it was suppose to. Then we slid on...
Hello,
I've got an '05 Rocket III that just started developing a problem. At about 3000 rpm the engine starts to cut out and stutter. Almost as if it isn't getting gas. There also seems to be a "whirring" sound from the top of the motor or somewhere underneath the chrome cover right below the...
Hey,
So, I'm looking at the exploded view for cooling system on the R3 because I have a very slow coolant leak at my pump, and I know what parts I need, but the way the engine numbers are referenced on the list are strange.
My Engine number (stamped on the engine) is 3382685. The last 6...

I just received the front engine guard bars and I noticed that to install them the upper bolt needs to be removed. This is the bolt that supports the engine to the frame. Has anyone who may have installed these bars had any issues with the motor coming out of alignment when removing the top bolt...

I just ordered one of these in dark grey for the Storm. Spoke with the owner and they will fit the Rocket III but they supply larger clamps for the forks and the dimensions for the headlights is slightly different but they have measured for that and adjust accordingly...

would like to buy a swingarm, rear wheel, hub, drive shaft, axle, ECU + harness, throttle body with injectors, and everything i need to make the motor run and be able to move under it's own power (aside from a frame...
Hey fellas, I'm thinking of buying a second engine for my bike which i can have as a second motor and build to be a very quick performer without having to buy a second bike or have mine off the road anymore.
Have you got any ideas? I'd like either a brand new or something very close to brand...
Hello everyone,
I am actively seeking a rocket. What are the differences between the Rocket Touring models over the last several years? Engine tuning different? Any other differences and/or improvements. They do not appear to be any different other than the introduction of ABS.
to be clear...
Good morning all.
I was on my way to work this morning when I looked down and realized my clocks were dead. Absolutely no readout. The needles are stuck at the speed and revs I was at when the dials died, no signal lights, no nothin.
The bike ran like a top until I got to work and flipped it...

Any recommendations for a quality Engine Guard? I have read good things about the discontinued Rivco, but I don't even know if it will fit, even if I could find one. Thanks for any help.
