Had my battery on a tender, did not started it for 2 months, now it refuses to start, it turns maybe half a turn and it stops, sometimes it just clicks.
I went ahead and bought a new AGM battery, connected it and it does the same. I always have this issue in the cold weather but this time is...
I just got back from a 2000mi road trip from California to Washington and back plus whatever riding I did while up there. Not a single other Rocket in sight anywhere only people asking what it is at every stop. I know this is not their top selling bike and maybe they are more common anywhere but...
I'm 6'2, got a R and never had a bike that requires a conscious turning in of the right foot to hit the brake pedal. I adjusted my pegs to the lower position for better comfort when I got it but just find it weird to have to do this. The width of the tank and bike as a whole probably contributes...
I have had my eye on a 2023 Toyota GR Corolla
3 banger 1.6l with a turbo makes 300 HP
Its just insane what can be done with new tech in ICE's
Just thought that was cute how our 2.3 and 2.5 Liter rockets need massive superchargers to get past 300hp and this engine does it in MORE than half the...
My new Rocket 3GT is the worst purchase of a new vehicle I have ever made. It was defective from day 1 and Triumph continues to ignore me or the problems on these newer models. Any one else getting this same response from their dealer and Triumph? Let's speak up and get something done before...
hello, I am wondering if this carbon cleaning should be done after certain number of miles/km to prolong engine life and keep it at maximum efficiency?
Just an idea came up in my mind, I am not an expert about engines or stuff but I am being precautious and trying to do extra preventative...
I rode about 120 miles yesterday round trip in heat from 80 up to 96 when I was done. Most of the riding was on the freeway and at speeds I usually don't go up to. I was trying to beat the heat. When I got home the seat was uncomfortably hot as was everything under me. One of the pillion pegs...
A few of You may have seen my recent post I have a 2010 touring model with a bad engine. I just picked up a 2008 classic with a salvage title. My plan is to combine these two. I like the tins so much better on the classic, the touring is black while the classic is a lovely two tone. I would...
Eyup,

Hosted by the Rocket 3 Owners Club UK, we expect around 100 Rockets, with prizes for the best bikes on the day. We've even booked some sunny weather.
All Rocket owners are welcome.
Groups will be...
I currently own both a 2019 HD Breakout and a 2019 HD Fatboy. Instead of spending $10k to upgrade to a Stage 4 kit, I put a deposit on a 2022 R3 GT 221 Model. After reading theses R3 forums I’m thinking I made a mistake. I live in a Chicago suburb with two Triumph dealers within 15-miles. Is it...
Hi guys, I'm looking at buying my first rocket 3, its a 2005 with 27k on the clocks, bike look the business and really fancy buying it but I've been warned off by someone saying not to buy one built before 2010 due to issues, some of which are fairly major, is this true? And should I not buy a...
Last September Mr. Bill and I met the Rocket 3 riders in Moab for a group ride. Mr. Bill went out for a ride before sunset. I was knackered and was already working on a video so I passed on this ride.
Recently I copied some of his videos while making another video for him and accidentally...
The first one was the one I wrote about in the post: Rocket 3R, Six weeks in. It was a great bike. It's gone now.
My second one was the one that I owned yesterday. It was quite a different bike to the old one. That's because I followed Bloodnut's advice on suspension. Quite the transformation...
Ok, I get it: We buy toys, own them for a while and sell them again. I used to do that with the bikes I owned: Bought a shiny new ride, rode it for a year or two and then sold it again. Because a new, more shiny toy came along. The Rocket, I thought, is a different thing altogether. Certainly...
