Anyone know if the crossover in the 2013 Roadster is free-flowing or is it restricted with baffles (or something similar)? Just wondering if it's suggested to replace it with something like the Staintunes crossover or just leave it as is if it's not restricting the exhaust flow.
If anyone out there are getting rid of thier std Roadster footrest rails and controls I would be very interested as can't get on with the forward footboards on my Classic.
I been writing Dave Searle, editor of Motorcycle Consumer News about why no Rocket test since the inaugural 2004 model?
Well he just wrote me back and said they have tested the new Roadster and will publish it in the June Edition.
BE ON THE LOOK OUT

As per the picture, I have had a small amount of gear oil leaking from this chrome cap, is this just an overflow? I had my bike in the shop to have the caliper replaced in the fall, but there shouldn't have been any reason for them to change/add fluid, so not sure why this is happening...
Hi there
My brake make so much noise on the front when pulling up to stop.
What are the best pads to use.
Any help would be great is getting a little embarrassing to say the least
Cheers Howie
I've been looking for black footboards for the pillion on my r3r as my wife has trouble with dodgy knees, and was finding balancing on the standard footrest while getting on and off a bit risky.
I found these Kuryakyn ones, which fit fine and have adjustable mounts fore and aft,(5 positions)...
Hi,
I've always wanted this bike. The Roadster version is perfect for me because of the footpegs/controls being a few inches further back than with the other versions.
I will be looking at one tomorrow. It has about 8,000 miles on it,... and is advertised as being in near new condition. They...
Any one have photos of the 2013 Rocket III Roadster color schemes yet, other than the matte black with white stripes? I read somewhere that 2013 will offer Matte Black w/ White Stripes, or Phantom Black w/ Red Stripes. I can not find any images for the Phantom/Red combo though. Best images...
Hello everyone, I have a little dilemma I'm hoping for a little insight. I have been reading reviews, watching you tube videos and talking to as many people I can find to seek their opinions on the R3 roadster. I went down to our local Triumph dealership today to pull the trigger on ordering an...
Hello All-I am right on the verge of buying a 2010 RIII Roadster-one of my issues is that i eventually, closer to retirement, want to set it up for touring. The MC shop of course sez "No Problem!" Is setting this bike up for touring going to be a major project? Should i wait until I come across...
If any of you are still wondering how the comparison of the two exh boxes came out....they are identical...right down to the stamped numbers on them. Both have the same inlet size and both have the same outlet size. (Thanks to mully95 who took the time to measure up the box he took off of his...
I asked a friend of mine is there any product that I could paint over some chrome pieces on my bike and later if I didn't like it I could remove the paint?
He told me about Plasti Dip. If you go to YouTube and type in Plasti Dip you will see hundreds of how too videos. Mainly how to spray it...
I've heard that Triumph released two versions of the 2013 Roadster with tuning differences between them. I've called two local dealers inquiring about the this, and neither one is aware of any differences, one even suggested that it was probably an Internet rumor and that I get him proof there...
hi there I have ordered a new roadster and collect it 1st March 13. It's not the absolute latest model with more black on it and the restriction removed on the first three gearsI have just bought of e bay a dual seat that was advertised as part number A9708164 which is the correct part number as...
I joined this Forum a few months ago to research the Rocket. I had planned to buy a new Roadster but a used bike has caught my eye. It is a 2006 rocket 3. It has about 16,000 miles and is about $7000 cheaper than a new bike. I figure with the money I save I can customize the bike. Am I making a...
I almost have all of the parts on hand to upgrade my 2013 Roadster. The plan is to install triple K&N 's, Jardine Rumblers and a PCV-AT. I have the filters, and the pipes and PCV should be in this week. I am soliciting advice on what to do next. As I see it my options currently are:
1.) Install...
Hi guys. I purchased a 2013 Rocket 3 Roadster the first week in January. Since then, they have come out with a revised model that has the blacked out components, racing stripes, and most importantly, the de-limited first three gears. So even though mine is a 2013, it’s not the “new” 2013, and...
