    Bought a used R3T in Jan 2010. Noticed that the headlight reflector was fogged with something. It wasn't water moisture cause when I tried to wipe it off with a microfiber towel thru the bulb hole, the towel was coated with a yellowish substance. It cleaned up pretty good, but was back again in...

    R3T Replacement Battery

    OK. My OEM Battery on my 09 R3T is still working OK, but I have no desire to be stranded one day when it goes belly up, so I'm looking to prophylactically replace it. I have focused on the Scorpion YTX20HL-BS (YTX20HL-BS Scorpion 12 Volt Powersport Battery) but have recently become...

    Mileage and the R3T

    Over the past year I've made what I believe to be an absolutely accurate observation regarding the R3T and it's fuel mileage. The Touring is VERY sensitive to the windscreen being used. I've documented the fact that using the short screen supplied with he bike will yield between 2.5 and 6...

    Possible new tire choice for r3t rear

The tire is made by Dunlop. The size is 180X65/16. Ours are 180X70/16. Anyone looked at this tire? Would going from a 70...
