    New R3 owner intro

    Hi everyone! Just picked up a Rocket 3 TFC last night. It's my 2nd Triumph ever. Prevously I had a 2012 Tiger Explorer, but that bike died in a ditch in Mexico (full story requires beers). I'm mostly interested in service and maintenance tips/tricks/advice, and product reviews. There's a...

    Givi luggage R3 GT

    Added the Givi trunk to complete the travel kit/luggage for the GT. I ordered the Givi Trunk, along with backrest and the mounting plate. This was attached to the factory tail rack accessory that I recently purchased from Triumph. The mounting plate for the Givi was real easy to accomodate...

    Thinking of adding a 2.5 R3 R to the stable.

    [EDIT: Saw someone else here was a Patton aficionado, so changed the avatar to one of my puppies.] Hello from Middle Tennessee! I think either a new 2020 or 2021 (bought next year, most likely) R model is in my future, especially if they offer the matte khaki green, competition green or tribal...

    R3 GT Pillion Seat

    Just purchased my GT, however my pillion is not impressed with her seat. Went into local dealer today and the comfort pillion seat is only compatible with sport seat on the R. Has anyone found another larger more comfortable pillion seat. I have been in contact with Corbin but that is going to...

  6. Issues with R3

    Hello, new here. Thinking about buying a 2005 up to 2011 R3. I see some issues like paint can rattle noise and other issues like lower timing chain etc. Have these issues been taken care of? I see some post from 2007, so I would think that maybe some older bikes like 05 might still have the...

    Trying to resurrect an accident damaged 2004 R3

    I recently purchased an accident damaged 2004 Rocket 3. The battery had been disconnected. I charged it up and I was expecting some indication of life upon turning the key. Sadly everything was dead. My first thought was that perhaps something needed resetting, because the battery had been...

    Quick Shifter Installed R3 GT

    Finally got the quick shifter installed on my GT today. Very impressed, definitely worth the money! Took the dealer about 90 minutes to install and program.

    2007 R3 Was running perfect, now I can barely keep it running?

    Hello, for the past couple years I haven't been riding as much due to a leaking front fork seal. I have been cranking her up regularly and riding up and down the local road on short trips. Now the FIRST time ever, I had trouble cranking her up, and when it did, it was a struggle to keep the...

    On Off Switch left side 2020 r3

    When I was ordering my bags yesterday, the service guy came out to tell me a few things on the new bike. He said many people complain about hard starting. Said leave the on off switch ON all the time. Factory told him to tell everyone this, as turning it off causes problems with breaking the...

    Factory Triumph rider's backrest with custom made R3 Roadster Solo seat mount.

    Factory Triumph rider's backrest A9708160 with custom made R3 Roadster Solo seat mount. Utopia do a similar bracket mount for their backrest but it still requires the pillion seat bracket to be fitted. The beauty of this one is you can use the same rider's backrest for your R3 Roadster Solo...

    Hi Gang, Been awhile. I am seriously considering getting a new R3GT. The one I am going to look at has heated grips, cruise. No quickshifter. I would be trading my 2020 BMW R1250RS Exclusive. I love the beemer, but I miss having a cruiser. I have a 2016 Honda Repsol 1000RR as well, so I...

Put the same code into both bags, followed the instructions and both seemed fine. Now my right bag won't open and won't let me reset it to enter a new...
