Well after a few hours of trying out the bike, and playing the numbers game, I ended up riding the R3 GT home. Got a good price on it. Now I have to find some things to bolt on. First, a set of crash bars, windshield, and Bag mounts that will work with Givi bags. Any suggestions will be gladly...
Some years ago I purchased a used 2005 R3. I did not know it for a couple of weeks. Enjoyed it. Then I found out it had more problems than a preacher arrested in a whore house on Saturday night. Some were the fault of the previous owner. He had spliced in wires, then removed w/o resealing...
Hi fellow R3 owners I have a 2008 R3T with just over 49,000 miles on her, pretty sure spring is broken, having shifting issues, problem finding all gears, going to tear it apart soon as I get a chance, but almost positive that's the issue, clutch adjustment spot on. Hopefully I...
Hello,
I am looking to purchase a Rocket 3. I a want the R as I prefer a slightly higher seat position and mid controls. However, I will also want to use it for touring And only occasionally with a pillion. So, will want a passenger seat backrest. Can anyone tell me if these are easily...
As mentioned in another post I am restoring a 2011 R3T that had been sitting about a year. The inside of the gas tank was horrible and have to rebuild the whole fuel assembly. Has anyone had to replace their fuel pump and filter and if so where did you buy it? Am also looking for that brillo...
Hey folks just thought I’d share an issue I had (hopefully resolved) with my 2023 R3 GT from new out of the showroom. When I was only slightly throttling on, the engine revs would fade slightly, then with a bit more throttle it would accelerate fine; this was particularly rude when throttling up...
The GT was for me, but I don't ride any pills. The Rocket is so sleek there is no where to stash my stash. Solution = Hillbilly hack the pillion seat into a pillion pack!
Remove seat, and detach pillion seat with 3 bolts. Easy. Used a flat piece of aluminum to attach a hack-fabricated seat...
Lamonster tail tidy looks good, and I'm happy with the final product. Some thoughts for anybody that might try this. The lamonster tail tidy is cheap at around $80, but it's far less than plug and play. It's really heavy and the finish on mine was not fine, but acceptable. There are no...
Hi Folks,
I just changed my oil for the first time after the dealer changed it at the 600 mile mark last year. I only put on about 2,000 miles, but since a year has passed, thought I'd change it myself. While it was draining, I noticed a distinct pink/red color to the oil. Almost the color of...
I'm looking for used finisher, mudguard, brushed L & R side for my Triumph Rocket 3. (Part Number: T2307886/T2307884). I want to remove the pillion back rest and cover it.
Also, looking for used stock rider and pillion seats.
Anyone pls
I just mounted my Hepco & Becker C-Bow mounts to my new 2023 R3. I figured I'd share what they look like mounted to the bike for tribal knowledge. I'll create another thread for the boxes... Installation was not bad, just had to remove the mud guard from underneath and drill 4 holes for the...
Hello all, new 2008 Rocket III owner. Drove it to the DMV all good. 5 miles. Return trip, power loss.
Could only make it back by "winding it out" and pinching the clutch. Now she won't run unless it is being over revved.
bought this from another owner, it had some old gas which has been...
Bought this bike about 3.5 months ago, was fully submerged in a cyclone here in NZ. Every nook & crany had mud in it 😳
Fully stripped a rebuilt.
Lots more learnt along the way.
Enjoyed doing it & now enjoy riding it 😎✌️🚀🚀🚀
I was considering this swap, primarily for the offset axle which provides extra trail for a given fork angle. Posting for anyone who might search for it in the future.
As it turns out this is a non-starter, for an odd reason. Online, you'll find a 27.9 degree steering angle often repeated...
I can't help but notice quite a bit more vibration when going gently up through the gears on my R3 GT, especially in 2nd gear close to 2000 - 2500 rpm (but fine above this). My old 2004 Classic was silky smooth right down to tickover speeds (when poodling through traffic etc) and accelerated...
Hi All
2023 R3 delivered Wednesday ... 1 mile on the clock
Unfortunately discovered fresh oil in various places under the sump - now looking for where it might have originated from, so hoping to find some answers here ...
Dealership has told me not to ride it until they can recover it to a a...
