r3t

  1. Considering the R3T

    I'm considering trading my 2005 America for a 2010 R3T. I really like my America for looks and for around town but am looking for something a bit more robust! Are there any previous bonneville owners out there who made the change. How does the R3T handle at 800# compared to my 500# America, etc...
  2. New R3T owner

    Hi, I just got my 2011 R3T a few days ago. I am in Northampton county PA. I attended Triumph demo ride twice in PA and NJ. I order mine at the NJ demo ride. After waiting for a month (it was on the way to US when I place the order) I finally got my R3T on last Thursday. I rode it yesterday...

    I used tune ecu on my bike. i raised the rev limit to 7000 rpm raised my top speed to 225 kpm. lowered my fan temp to 100 c and opened up the 2ndaries. My T is much more responsive now. I love the change and cant say enough about it. It is really worth the price of the cable. DO IT!!! will...
  6. Rivco Riser Problems R3T

    R3T owners only. Ok, I've had the Rivco Risers on my bike since they first took pre-orders. They are mounted per the Rivco instructions with the clutch cable behind the triple clamp. I have noticed when I turn full lock left, the clutch cable is getting pinched between the top triple clamp...
  7. Sweating to death on my R3T.

    As previously established on a prior thread, I am the proud owner of a completely stock 2008 R3T and don't like to complain about "Big Baby", she is who she is and sometimes you just have to learn to adapt if you are going to ride something different than everyone else.....anyway, that big lump...
  8. D&D's for R3T

    Just put the D&D pipes on my bike and did the 12 min tune. They sound really good, now I just need to go to Tulsa to get the TOR tune installed. I was suprised I didn't have any decel popping. I wonder what the other tune will do? The bike runs fine now without out it but it is my...
  9. R3T Triple K&N Jardines Power-Tripp Tune Dyno Results

    Took my R3T with the newly installed Jardines and a tune supplied by Wayne Tripp at Power-Tripp Performance to the dyno this morning. The results were very satisfying. A/F ratio was recorded separate from the dyno and tracked steady at 13.5:1. Don't have a printout from that device (no printer...
  10. 2009 r3t

    Morning everyone, I picked up a new Blue 09 R3T yesterday from Pete's cycle in Delaware and road it back to CT (365 miles). INCREDIBLE. What a nice bike. Wonderful ride through the Delaware water gap. I thought the bike was going to be a bear to throw around. I only weight 185. When riding it...
  11. Larger Rear Tire for R3T?

    Avon makes a 200 60 16 V rated Cobra rear tire. They recommend a 5.5" rim, the R3T has a 5" rim. The width is 7.7" vs 7.2" and the diameter is 25.6" vs 24.8" for the stock tire. Having just installed a set of Jardines, I really could use a bit more rear tire. So, what are the chances the...
  12. 1500 Miles in 4 Days R3T

    I left SoCal for regions north. Rode up the coast to Monterey then through the Central Valley to the Feather River Canyon up to Bucks Lake (until the snow stopped me). Did a few side trips in the Plumas National Forest and then back down the canyon (75 miles of the most delectible two wheel...
  13. R3T Stock Pipe Modification

    Sorry, this is one of my first postings, I had not heard if anyone tried this so I thought what the hell. I pulled both stock pipes off the R3T and drilled out the cat. I stepped-up the hole to a 1" bit, it was a bit of a chore on the left side. I had to cut the elbow off and with the help of...
  14. Best price on R3Tour Ontario or New York

    Is it worth buying in the US? I'm in Toronto. It seems you usually get a better price in the US. Anything to be careful of? I saw 2 dealers not too far from Buffalo, one in Akron and another in Canandaigua.
  15. R3T seat rebuilt

    Just had my appointment with *****n Stichn here in Denver. I was really expecting to have them tear the cover off, and throw the foam out. We started with our stock R3T seat. Daniel and Brian are artists. Brian sat down and had my wife and I sit on the bike. Within 10 minutes, and after lots of...
  16. Difficult mounting Stebel horn on R3T

    Couldn't make a good bracket so held it in place behind the LHS cover and close to rubber wrapped frame member and filled doubled plastic bag with Fireproof Builder's foam behind and under it to build a nest to hold it, nice and sweet. Eventually tied it down with cable ties. Seems to work. Out...
  17. Tune Mods for R3T with Jardines

    I'm considering swapping my D&Ds for a full Jardine system. I haven't found anyone who has installed the Jardines on an R3T. I currently have triple K&Ns with the 138HP tune for the R3T. I'm pretty sure I will need to more fuel to support the added flow of the Jardines. Does anyone have any...
