    How To Improve Fuel MPG on R3T

    I have had the bike now for a month and put 3400 miles on it. I ride about 110 miles round trip daily for work. I have had 28 mpg as the low and around 38 mpg as the high. I usually seem to get around 34 mpg on average. Running an entirely stock bike with no modifications. I know I did...

    I found some Jardines for the R3T at Biker Trends

    I went off the road last weekend and bent/scratched a few parts on the bike. The insurance man is here now and said he would pay for my Jardine pipes if I could find my receipt or a place that sold them to get a replacement cost. Knowing that they are not made anymore but realizing that I could...

    Best tires for R3T

    This subject came up in a trip report I posted. I got some great advice about tires there but I wanted to start a thread specifically on this subject to get more input. I'll be replacing my factory tires on my R3T soon. It appears that the tires that came on the bike pretty much suck. That's...

    Recent trip on new R3T and just general rambling.

    I returned from a 6,000 solo trip two weeks ago. It was great! I did a similar trip on a Bonneville back in the late 60s. The Rocket was a joy to ride with one exception. On a twisty mountain road 44 miles from the nearest town (Sweet Home, Oregon) and with no cell phone tower, I glanced down...

    R3T Driving light issue

    My right driving light my R3T came with has burnt out for the second time. Any idea why this could be happening. It is the same one I replaced not too long ago. It came with a 30W and I replaced both sides with 50W bulbs. Would replacing them with LEDs fix the problem or would I continue...

    R3T Speed Limiter Is Set Too Allow Too High Of A Speed!

    I just brought home a new 2015 Black & Cranberry R3T [it was a dealer leftover at a fire sale price - there is still one available]. It has 35 miles on it. I doubled the mileage on a short run tonight - had to stop to barbecue. I will need to watch my speed as - it is entirely too, too easy...

    Question Regarding Single Headlight on R3T

    Hello, On my Triumph America, I bought a base [from DanielSternLighting.com] designed to hold a 55W H13 bulb. The America came stock with a H4 bulb. The America has a 7" diam light and it appears the R3T has the same. I am going to switch lights as the first mod - a simple wiring harness...

    @canecorso custom seat review R3T

    I'll lead off with saying I was uncomfortable considering the cost of corbin and russel day seats, not so much the money, but what if I spent it and was disappointed with the comfort level. I'm 5'11", 285lbs, the stock seat is not comfortable at all, as our larger riders have found out, and...

    Auxiliary lights on R3T

    Hey all. I looked around online but can't seem to find my answer and my owners manual doesn't seem to say. What wattage are the factory auxiliary lights? Had one burn out already. My local parts store has 55 and 100w bulbs but these seem high to me. My Kawasaki voyagers auxiliary lights were...

    Need a bit of guidance! So my on again off again starting issue has come to a head. Back story: for the last 18 months I've had sporadic starting issues when bike is hot, whether from running or sitting in the hot sun. I would get the dreaded click when I hit the start button. When ever this...

    Just Installed A Tachometer On My R3T

    I know some of you R3T owners have talked about putting a tachometer on your bike. I've been looking and decided on the Koso BA035103 in chrome...It also comes in black. I spent most of the afternoon working on it, but I'm fussy. I used a Kuryakyn P-Clamp to get it mounted where I wanted it...
