Returning from a 350 mile run today, downshifted into 4 gear, engine roared when trying to accelerate but gear obviously not engaging. Then this happened with 2 gear. Had to cover the last 50 miles with 1 3 and 5 gear. Also its not now showing neutral.

I've finally saved up my money and decided to fork a chunk of it over to upgrade my 2008 R3T (41K) to full dresser. :D
On order:
Hoope Industries Quadzilla Fairing with upgraded stereo and chrome upgrades - $2500
Tsukayu Touring Trunk with luggage rack - $710
Upgraded GPS Garmin Zumo 660...
Taking 10 pieces of chrome to PowderTech Plus Inc. to be powder coated this Saturday. Was told they are on a 2 week time schedule - very excited and can't wait to see the results. Once these come back and I put the bike back together I will have to see what else may need a touch of powder. :cool:
I will be soon posting to Ebay the following items - Passing lamp visors, Headlamp visor, Rear fender rail and the Pannier rails all from a 2010 R3T. Though I haven't verified it I feel confident these will fit other years as well. When I post to Ebay I will post a link here and in the...
Anybody got any idea what I should/could ask? It is an 08' with almost 20k miles. It has new tires front and rear with less than 300 miles on them. An Avon on the front and a Darkside (altimax Hp) on the back.
It is set up for solo riding now but I have the original seat, sissy bar, and...
Does anyone know where I might be able to find a set of passenger floorboards other than going to the dealer or bike bandit? I've been looking at ebay and searching for motorcycle salvage yards with no luck so far. I bought my '08 R3T set up as a solo bike and the previous owner removed the...
I have had my R3T for two seasons. Its a unique bike. I came to it in recent years from sport touring/adventure type bikes (ST1100, V-Strom 1000, Moto Guzzi Norge, K1200Rsport, R1200GS, FJR 1300 to name a few). I am surprised how well I like it. I look forward to participating in the forum.
Well, I had another one come off today. :mad:
Out for a little ride and on the last 10 miles from home, I coming up through the reservation. On a nice two lane road had a little car tailing me as we passed slower moving traffic. Finally decided to put some room between myself and the little...
For those with an R3T, how much free play do you have in your top yoke? If you grab the bar ends and lift, how much movement do you get?
I've read that the top yoke can fail, resulting in excess play. I have about 1/2 inch movement measured at the bar ends. Also, for those that can check, do...
Has anyone here removed the visors from their headlamp and passing lamp trim rings? if so, how did you do it? If not, does anyone here know if the visor can be removed from the lamp trim ring?
I have been looking about for a clear tank protector at the seat but I haven't been able to find one yet for the Tourer :(
If anyone has any info let me know please.
:bch: Guys
I have now owned my new 011 R3T for just over six months, but have only 3,000 miles on the bike due to a super hot summer. After purchasing the bike, I began to wonder why a bike I liked so much could be a dead seller in the states.
Coming off of a late model six speed Harley Street Glide, at...
Noticed my headlight not working today; neither low, nor hi beam. Aux/fog lights work fine. The tiny little aux bulb inside the bucket lights up, but not the main bulb. I have the EB relay.
What's typical life of bulb? Any easy stuff to try before I buy a new bulb? I've been riding since 1970...
Have had a 205/60R16 General Altimax fitted on my 09 R3T for a couple of days and approx 200 miles now and thought I would give my first impressions vs the m/c tyres I had fitted before in case anyone is interested.
My bike was running Avon Venoms front and rear which I thought were a huge...

Does anyone know where the turn signal flasher unit is located on the R3T? According to the service manual it is under the right side cover. But, what they show as the flasher unit is the relay for the Auxiliary Lights.
I have a long running problem with my turn signals only working part time...
Here is an idea I had for the stock touring air box. I got the idea from a guy named "Turbo Tom" who has a performance bike shop in Orange County, CA. He did the same thing for the Honda ST1300 and everyone who did it claimed a power increase.
Our air filters have the same size opening at the...
