  1. Rocket 3 Valve Cover Gasket Replacement Video

    Hello, A while ago I had to replace the valve cover gasket on my 2017 Rocket 3. Had trouble finding any videos showing the repair so I decided to record my process and finally got around to creating the video. Hopefully if any of you have to go do this repair this video can be helpful. I...

    Oil Light

    After oil change and filter replacement, with power on, oil light stays on, but when started, goes off. Do I need to reset something?

    2.5 Mystery Fork Oil

    I'm getting closer to replacing the seals in the forks on my 3R having recently gone over 30K miles. I have the seals from Triumph, but trying to determine what fork oil to use. The service manual calls for ShowaSS47G which doesn't appear to exist on the Internet, anyway. None of the equivalency...

    Already leaking oil

    Only approx. 1,900 miles and the R3 GT is already leaking oil. It seems to be coming from the seam/gasket along the lower side of the transmission, near and behind the forward controls. Of course, further back the wind from riding has blown it all over including along the side of the starter...

    Oil Dip Stick Cross Hatch Level...How Much To Add If Needed?

    I have not needed to add oil to my bike yet but when I do how do I know how much to add? How much oil does the cross hatch section on the dipstick correlate to? Since we have a dry sump and this odd oil check procedure someone must have this figured out. Let's say on day I check it and the level...

    Final drive oil

    Changed my final drive oil today and then noticed it should be fully synthetic. I have been using kawasaki 80w-90 mc gear oil. Changed it when I bought this bike 3k miles ago. Should I go buy the synthetic? Should be 75w-90 I figured 80w-90 was close enough but it was not synthetic. I changed it...

  9. Super low on oil.

    I'm back at the dealer I bought the rocket from (2022 R3GT). I don't trust the 10,000 mile service interval (or year), so I had it serviced by another Triumph dealer in my hometown at 5,000 miles to replace the oil. The tech just came out and asked me where I had it serviced because it is 2.5...

    Engine is making oil.

    Well I bought a new to me 2013 roadster last month. I shook it out a bit and had no issues, so decided to take it for my vacation trip. Now I'm over 600 miles from home and it is making oil. My next stop is/was going to be Nashville TN. I'm assuming that it is an injector problem. Are these a...

    Oil Drain Plug - Non-OEM ok?

    Long story, but I need another drain plug and washer and I really don’t want to wait a week or more to order it. Any reason a standard M14x1.5 oil drain plug won’t work? What about the ones with the manner on the tip? Helpful? Was looking at something like this.

    Fork oil change, any DIY manual out there?

    Hi all. Thinking of changing the oil in my front suspension, but the manual says it requires a lot of special tools and the forks of the bike as well. Is that really necessary? Or is there an easier way? Thanks in advance.

    Oil Filter

    Hey folks... Is there any way to remove the oil filter without loosening the front cooler? (2020 R3) I doubt it but thought I would ask. Moving forward, would a K and N filter allow filter change without loosening anything else? Thanks

    Need some help.I have now done 6500 miles and find oil usage is quite high more than 1 litre per 1000 miles .I bought the 2017 Rocker 3r with 3500 miles .I suspect the first 3500 miles running in were done with a gentle throttle and the rings never bedded in properly . There is no trace of oil...

    Oil leaking from chromium cap in top left side of engine?

    In this area (red circle) I see some oil (or other liquid) marks. Question: what is covered under chromium cap? Might be some liquid leaking from this place? What it is, as I do not find any info in service manual?

  17. Mahle oil filter?

    Does anyone know if the chrome cover fits on the Mahle oil filter? Other threads indicate that Wix is the go to, but I can't find one available.

    2.5 oil change

    I just did the 600 mile oil change and thought I'd share a few thoughts for those of you who've never done an oil change on these bikes. The long kickstand on the 2.5 makes a tip over waaay too easy, especially when pulling on a wrench from under the bike. Do something/anything about it...

    Finding Motor Oil

    If you haven't looked lately finding motor oil in becoming much like finding Waldo. I went to 4 different stores (all of them) in my little burg and found zero bottles of Mobil 1, Valvoline and Motul for an upcoming oil change. It wasn't just the R4T oil that wasn't there but a lot of other...

    What's the best oil/ weight to use

    I've got a 2013 roadster that was originally running 10 W 40 oil castrol I'm now running 10 W 50 oil in the machine and although running well -doesn't seem to have the same grunt as before. Does running at a heavier weight oil do any long-term damage to the engine as I'd like to revert back to...
