Just got back from shortened touring trip to France . . on the train. I wont waste your time with my moans, but just tell you the facts.
After topping up the Roadster tank on a rainy morning, we rode steadily out of Blaine. At the 2nd mini roundabout, I had to brake a little for a lorry to...
I have just got my bike back from the panel shop. They widened the tank to hold more fuel
330km and the fuel light came on, 2 bars left.
440km the gauge said empty
482km and ran out of fuel
24ltrs to fill from dead empty
Attached is a couple of pics before and after, welll not quite, I for got...
It sure sounds like a hassle. Can the tank be partially lifted to gain access to the spark plugs? I thing these engineers design so most buyers have the dealer perform work at $95 an hour.
It sounds like keys rattling against the front of the fuel tank at certain RPM's, it doesn't do it all the time but it does do it a lot. It's a little annoying when it's happening because it's very pronounced. I rode my brother-in-laws R3T same year as mine and you could barely hear it on his...
Hi everyone - I've had a tank bag for a couple of years but haven't used yet. It comes with a small nylon strap in the shape of a T with two holes. I could find any screws that came with it and it wasn't immediately obvious to me how it goes on - anyone know? Thanks
A while back I saw a chopper with a Jack Daniels bottle as the overflow tank and decided that I need to do that with the rocket as I’m running with 3 K&Ns and no bearclaw and I hate the look of the tank. So I know that a few of you have replaced with aftermarket tanks, and I know that the volume...
So I had to lay my 2009 R3T down to avoid a major accident and had to replace my tank. Kept all the electrical from original (pump, hoses, fittings, fuel gauge, etc.)
Bike starts and idle fine. It also runs accelerates ok, until I go to shift. After that, she sputters and surges. If I really...
I think that cap is ventiled which means it is releasing gas out from tank. It's very important that you not over fill the tank. Because gasoline (liquid) is blocking gas canel of the cap. I almost burn my Rocket R3R when I over fill the tank. And I wonderin after short riding the noise which...
My son scraped my tank with his ski while it was in the garage. Its a small scratch but did go down to the primer. As I notice it every time I look down, I'd like to get it fixed and will likely need to take it to someone. I am in Southern Cal and my Triumph shop has a guy but he is busy for...
When I do certain jobs, I never know when I'm coming back to them, and I easily can make mistakes. Especially if the job is new to me. I was scared to pull the tank off of my new Rocket, so i set out like I usually do, with my numbered baggies and went at it. I made a list of my steps, and my...
Hello everyone
So Im joining the Rocket racket soon and will pull the trigger on a Roadster once I find a good deal. As always, I customize my bikes to my own personal liking. Im planning to swap the OEM giant fuel tank to a smaller round fuel tank ala Bonneville and put in a slammer seat. I...
So in case anyone is tossing up between these two products, I bought both and you can see them side by side in the pic. For comparison, the Trik pads are a good deal larger, slightly thinner and don‘t incorrectly render one of the flags. The Lamonster seems a touch thicker and still has a...
Anyone have directions or video of how to remove the metal tank strap?
Mine was scratched when purchased bike and just got a replacement but it's not clear to me how to remove it.
Thanks.
Sorry, i have asked before but now it drains down quicker.
I have a 2014 Rocket 3 Roadster with 12000 miles on the clock so really nothing should be worn yet.
The oil tank has drained down into the sump overnight a couple of times now, which seems pretty fast to me.
I have replaced the one way...
I ordered Union Jack tank decals from Lamonster, but wasn't so sure I could commit to sticking anything new on the bike when I'd just finished removing the safety stickers.
Got the idea to try turning them into magnets so I could attach/remove/swap when I felt like it.
Ordered large magnetic...
I've removed the stock air plenum on my '06 classic and preparing to install a RamAir unit. Now, of course, it occurs to me that the expansion tank might block airflow to the filter. Do I need to move the tank or can it stay in place? I've done a forum search and see people have relocated the...
After repeatedly refitting the oil tank assuming the o-rings weren't seating properly and causing a constant leak from under the tank I noticed that oil was bubbling up around the head of the rear bolt.
Removed tank again and....
Neither tank valve is leaking and the seals are fine. Tank and...
