I own two Rockets. One is an 05 standard and the other is an 08 Touring model. Of course they basically have the same engine but, my 08 seems to have a louder balance shaft whine (at least I think that's what's causing it). Is there an adjustment for this? I used to ride Kawasakis and the...
Did about 150 miles yesterday.
The engine stalled when slowing down at the lights.
For rest of day found I was keeping the revs up to stop it stalling every time I had to slow right down in traffic.
A couple of times had to pull in the clutch and hit the starter button.
09 Classic...

Am wondering if anyone on the East Coast can help me. Some arsehole put sand in my oil tank & I've blown the engine. I was only doing about 40 km/h at the time but still made a death rattle of a noise when it stopped. I'm trying to find a mechanic who's good with the Rocket 3 & is looking for a...

The Rocket engine and the Thunderbird engine don't get used in other bikes
I guess there's not much they can do with the 2300cc engine
But you would think that Triumph would find a new home for the 1700cc unit
They find different homes for most of the engines in the range. The was a post earlier...
Newby here and I need to locate engine guards for my new R3R so I can get outta here.
Told by Rivco they are not made anymore. Who has these or the Triumph engine guards in stock?
Much appreciated,

This morning started my bike and heard a ticking sound from the engine. I turned the motor off and checked my oil level and all was good. I went ahead and rode my bike to work thinking that maybe the sound would go away. well, it didn't. The ticking sound can only be heard when stopped or...
I checked my oil today, sitting on bike upright, and no oil was registering on the dipstick. I got very concerned about this and checked it a few times with the same result.
So I immediately got some oil which I had close by, and emptied about 400ml into the engine thinking that would do...
Hi everyone
New Update re rocket 3 engine and clutch vibration
Left my bike at Team Moto and the Triumph Rep from Melbourne flew up. His name is cliff. As helpful as he was he did a bit of fast talking and told me that they would dismantle the bikes rear and replace the shaft, knuckle and...
Does anyone have teh OEM wide engine guards.
The lower connection site is weak. I put highway pegs on the bars and I set my feet on the pegs and the bars bent forward. EEEKKK.
Has anyone figured this out?
I am cutting Stainless steel 3/16th to fit and back it up, but the flange is 1/8th crap...
Hi all,
My early 2004 R111 has grey engine block. I'd like it painted up black, I think it sets the chrome off better. Any body had this done? I'm in Birmingham, England.
Any idea who might do the paint job or how much? I don't want a mess job done.
Any R111 owners meets coming up soon in...
Hello,
I want to replace my negative cable on my 06 rocket classic, and I notice my is connected to the engine block by a bolt. What can I plan on being a result if I remove this bolt to remove the terminal loop? While it leak? Any issues to steer me away from doing this.
Thank you in advance...
When I removed the engine guards/highway bars to take to be powder coated we removed the necessary bolts to do so - problem ..... I noticed that the top bolt ran through the engine block but did not give it much thought - I figured there was another support system. WRONG!!! This appears to be...
Hello all, I'm not a Rocket owner yet but I plan to be very soon and I have a question for you. I'm looking at an 07 that has all the bits of a Classic, floorboards, bags, seat etc. but it has the silver engine. Does anyone know when or why the engine changed colors and did they produce both at...
