It is the strangest thing... if I leave the Rocket parked for 1 week, the battery is completely dead. I upgraded to a much larger lithium EarthX battery, now it takes 2 weeks before the battery dead, dead, stone dead. Spent hours with my multimeter... this bike shows 0 (zero) draw with the...
Hello everyone ! Very happy to be joining the Triumph family. First time Triumph owner and looking forward to connecting with everyone. I sold my Ducati 1199 after .. well just getting old and needing something more comfortable. My riding style has changed Lately. I have been enjoying doing...
I bought my first r3 yesterday.
2006 Triumph rocket iii classic with 3000 miles.
Hasn't been licensed since 2008 (Grandpa's eyesight went bad).
He is no longer around to find out details on bike.
Family says he did upgrades and paint but not sure to the extent. They think Jardine exhaust and...
Hi All, I have a 2009 (45,000 kmts) Rocket with Jardine's fitted. Original air box and I've yet to find a Power Commander. She pops beautifully on over run but I am told that's not a good thing. She runs sweet and seems very quick. So what checks, what do I look for and where do I go from here...
As I predicted, it is a mid to high 10 second bike out of the box. Incredible performance for any bike let alone a cruiser!

My Rocket 3 GT Speedometer is out! When doing 120kph (via GPS and phone) my R3GT speedometer reads 128kph. An 8kph delta, that's 5mph.
I called the dealer and the service person said "Yeah they do it like that on purpose!" To which I asked "Can I get it fixed?" to which he replied "Nope...
Greetings Everyone,
I've been out of riding for over 10 years but my kids are older now and we are moving to the country and I regain my 3rd car garage. I've test drove two Rockets over the years but never bought one. I'd kind of given up recently, because I kept sitting on Roadsters and didn't...
Called this morning to find out what time my new bike would be prepped and was told they just got the bulletin! Said they ordered the new latches and it would take about a week. Bummer!!
Update: Went today to put the deposit down and buy the bags. Learned from parts department it was not the...
Hi Gang,
I used fully synthetic motul on my old rockets (2300) and it made a massive difference on smoothness, vibration etc. Has anyone used motul on the new rockets as well? I will be doing my first service soon and am strongly considering using motul. Shaft fluid as well.
A friend of mine in Australia just took delivery on a new Rocket and immediately took it to a shop to have some modifications done. I told him I'd post some photos and his plans for the bike on line.
This is a repeat but he asked me earlier to make a query concerning the front fender offset...
had anyone wrapped there Rocket? or had a professional wrap there motorcycle? it seems there is nice colors in wrap and seems like they do a really good job and far less expensive then paint so like in a couple of years or so you can change it and still less then paint. Has any one done this...
Gidday everyone, I ride a 2007 Rocket 3 Classic that i've had since new. Its got over 90000 klm on it, mostly open road klms as I prefer riding that. For around town riding I have a Vespa 300 scooter that is a perfect town bike. After the last two years servicing my Rocket hasn't been running...
TuneECU v2.5.5 . I have a 2006 rocket iii and just installed K&N Filter and stock exhaust.
Can run diagnostics and some tests. Can't seem to see or load maps. Thinking TuneECU v2.5.5 will work. I am running v2.5.8.
just getting started as a horsepower junkie
I know I am a hooligan... no need to scold me. BUT, I want to be able to wheelie my new Rocket 3, however, it is not being a willing partner at this point. I'm polling this audience to hopefully find someone who has figured out the required black magic, ritual to a deity, or maybe even voodoo to...
