Hi folks, need to register my TFC here in California and part of the paperwork requires the engine number, question is how many digits/letters are in it? I can clearly see six digits but there is another symbol/character at the end and I am not sure what it is, I tried taking picture and...

So my 05 r3 standard engine has a chewed up second gear rattlin round inside but otherwise is still a strong unit, with only 16-17k miles on it. Its out and a 14 roadster unit took its place. Anyone have thoughts of the tedious hastle/ minor cost of crackin into it myself to replace n fix is...

Hi all. I have a 2005 rocket 3 standard engine with only going on 17k miles. Runs strong and still spectaculary looks like new. Only issue is the second gear is pretty much gone. But still pieces rattle away in 1st gear or so. So engines been parked up and swapped out. Whats truly a fair asking...

My 2021 with 750 miles has a 1-2 second hesitation and engine wobble when I pull on the throttle with medium to hard acceleration. Also when riding at 80-90 mph I will have a partial loss of power, which comes and goes. Check engine light is now on and during my last ride the traction control...

Just recently purchased a 2009 R3 with a few Mods done. Foam Ramair intake MOD CAT delete Custom tune First issue is when coming off the throttle getting lots of after fire. Any idea how to remedy ?

Hey hoping someone can tell me if I have a issue or not. My bikes a 2004 std. When I'm rolling down a hill or slowing towards a junction using engine breaking I have a clunking type noise, sounds like it's coming from the from of the engine? Kinda sounds like a gear engaging then disengaging...

Hi all! Still new here, but i recently wrecked my touring model unfortunetly. So now i have my 05 standard still, it needs a new engine. Found a used crate engine online off a 2014 R3 roadster...is this interchangeable? Thanks! N cheers!

I find that the method of checking the oil level is not easy. On the motorcycle log, side stand, cold engine, run 1mn30 without accelerating, stop then check 3mn later. Do you control like that? or some other way?

I’m going to put on new dresser bars so I want to make sure it’s torqued correctly. In my book the only value I can find for this bolt is “See Note”. The problem is I don’t see the note... anywhere in the book. Does anyone know what the proper torque is?

The Rocket is 7 months and 13,000klm old. When cold, at 1800 revs there is a loud rattle noise. It appears to stop at 2000 revs and appears to go away when hot. The dealer is yet to investigate ( 4 weeks booking time). Question - has anyone else experienced this symptom?

Hi. I have a 2020 Rocket 3R and I just did the 1000 km service. Recently I have been feeling hot air coming from the engine side. On the right side of the bike where it says Rocket 3R, the engine portion gets real hot. Is this normal? We have hot weather here (35 deg C). Can someone please...

Would like everyone's recommendations on engine oil viscosity and brand to use. Have an 05 rocket III with approx. 350 miles on complete build. Have always used Mobil 1 Racing 4T 10w-40 and usually a Wix filter. I have read several articles about using heaver viscosity oils and different...

2014 Roadster. It sounds OK at idle. Off idle to about 2500 rpm there is a distinct miss. It starts smoothing out at 3000 rpm and runs strong and smooth to redline. In addition to the miss, there is an extra noise coming from the exhaust pipe. The pipe is a 3 into 1 baffled megaphone...

Hey, my check engine light came on today but I looked down and I was at 599 miles. Is it set to automatically come on at 600 miles to tell you to get your first service or do I need to get more concerned it's something real? Bike is running normally.

Hello again fellow rocketeers! Does anyone has any knowledge about options to protect the bike in the event of a tip over or a drop? God forbid that one of Us have to endure such a predicament, but even Valentino Rossi had to be prepared for the worst case scenario... I've been searching...

Anybody else have engine paint issues? I got them outside and INSIDE the cases. Flaking off. Clogged oil pump screen...

My 2015 Rocket 3 Touring is showing the Engine alarm light off and on. rpm has no effect. If the low oil alarm is on, the engine doesn’t knock or show any adverse signs. I bought the bike with 2400 miles on the odometer. I rode the bike 2,000 miles this year. If the alarm is on, I can turn...

Many years ago I was riding Big Red (2300CC) in West Virginia, rounded a curve on a road with high trees on each side thus hiding round the curve views and a fricking car was stopped on this 55 mph state highway. The result was I did a one and half gainer with full twist through the air with Big...

Good day everyone, As some others on here have mentioned, the highway bars are less than stellar! With the flex on both sides, one is much farther forward than the other. I'm just not sure which side is in the correct position. The left side is in the cut out of the rad shroud where as the...
