Has anyone tried any specific brand of tach? Most of the manufacturers can't tell me if theirs will work on a 3cyl. Does anyone know if the Rocket uses the "waste spark" ignition (which fires each time the piston is at TDC, once compression and once exhaust) or is it the traditional system which...
new to this website new to this technology,( whats a thread anyway? When I was a much younger man I would thread the needle on my surf board, but anyway thats another story ) Now I'm an old man on a new 2012 rocket iii tourer classic with 4000 miles on it that I've put on it in about 2 mos. I...
Looked at a great motorcycle lift today for $400.00. They guy demonstrated on a Harley and then a stratoliner both having frame bars at the bottom. He wanted to lift my bike with it but with no rails I wasn't comfortable using the bottom of the motor. Has anyone here used one of these lifts on...
I am running Jardines, triple 2780 K&Ns, and Tuneecu 20368. I get tons of popping and backfiring on decel, but that was the only tune I found for a Touring with aftermarket pipes on the Tuneecu site. It runs much stronger, but I am concerned it might be overly lean. I am planning on doing a...
My 2010 developed transmission trouble about two and a half weeks ago. It started out as difficulty finding neutral and kept getting worse until about two weeks ago when it started missing shifts, going into false neutrals and jumping out of gear into false neutrals. This happened either when...
I researched the hell out of this on this forum prior to doing it. Everything I found indicated a PCV/AT would work on a 2008 R3T. Now I just read a post from Hanso saying it might not. Mine has been installed now for several months and running fine. It really stunk (exhaust gas) with the...
I have a 2011 Rocket 111 and short legs. Standing on my tip toes at trffic signals is not fun.What do I need to lower the bike to stand flat footed. Being 77 doesn't help much. Any info woulds be most welcome. Thanks in advance. Larry:confused:
Hi everyone,
First off I'm new to the site and don't own a rocket yet but plan on buying one early next year. Right now I'm curious about any issues or anything I should look out for when I do purchase my beast.
The reasons I want an r3t are, there are none in my area (probably because...
There was a black and red R3T in Hendersonville, NC last night on Main street. Stock exhaust, rounded looking hard bags, two up. Who dat was ? We were at the Irish Pub dining street side when you went by. Our Rocket was parked down on a side street like any good outlaw would do.
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...
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...
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...
Finally back from the paint shop. It would have been nice if Triumph offered a trunk and fairing option but with a little work you can make aftermarket parts work. The trunk(tour pack) was off a recked HD.The fairing is from Reckless Motorcycles.com. I mounted it to the stock quick change mount...
I have an 09 touring with triple K&N Jardines and a map from Wayne that was modified. What kind of mileage are others getting with this setup. I am getting 23 to 30 miles per gallon is this normal?
In the model year 2009 and up, Harley put a wider rear tire on all of their touring bikes. This tire is a "dual compound tire." Harder in the center and softer on the sides. 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...
My Metzlers were nearly bald with 13,000 miles on the front and 10,500 miles on the rear. I had to replace the OEM rear at 2500 miles when it was punctured picking up a nail. I looked around on the internet for a longer lasting tire and came across the new Michelin Commander II which is claimed...
I am looking to buy just the right side only, Triumph stock oval mirror with the drilled stem.
Its for my R3T.
If anyone has one they are willing to part with let me know how much you want for it.
This is a picture of the left side. So I need the matching right side.
Thanks Mac
I was at my dealer today on an unrelated matter. While there, I looked at a brand new all Black 2012 R3T siting on the show room floor. Yes,,,,it has anti lock brakes. I put my hand on the control module located under the frame next to the CAT box. The bike also had ABS sensor wheels on the...
