Well today was the day I found out exactly how much fuel the rocket holds.
Checked the trip meter this morning and thought should I tip some fuel out of the can into the bike had 230kms of around town ridding.
I'll be right will get some on the way home from work.
Well thats great get to...
So you know in the manual where for fuel tank removal process it states:
1. Raise and prop the fuel tank
2. Make a note of or mark the position of the two breather hoses at the front left of the tank
What if someone (me) skipped step 2 thinking that just laying the hoses on the bike frame...
Has anyone applied film to their fuel tanks and other panels to prevent stone chips and if so which is the best to use?
Also, any useful tips in applying the film would be handy to know.
One chip can be very annoying....
Scratched tank? Without changing/spoiling the look off your tank, to all you/us fat gutted jacket wearers with a belt.;):D These are just a leather sleeve that fits over your belt and slides over the buckle once done up on either your trousers and/or jacket belts.
Just to view here on US eBay...
I bought a couple of these a few weeks ago for me and @Turk from an Aussie supplier- now I find them here half the price with FREE INTL post. :(:banghead:;):D
Now:
They will fit our tanks and you could file our oil level marks into the stick or use your eyes and estimate within a couple of mm...
G'Day,
Can someone tell me if the fuel cap acts as a breather for allowing air to replace the fuel as it is used up?
I ask this cos when i fill to FULL then BLAT down the road I can get a spray of fuel from the non genuine filler cap. I want to know if I make a gasket for it to seal i wont be...

Ok, new to R3's. I have a R3R. I am trying to remove previously installed speaker wiring and it is getting caught up under the tank. I think I'll have to tank the tank off. Is removing it as simple as taking the bolt off at the top of the tank and the pin under the front of the seat? I...
Has anyone got a comment on this?
I laid up my 2014 roadster with 8000 miles on the clock from September 28 2017 to now, December 26 2017 and today I dipped the oil and the tank is empty. It's been standing for almost 3 months.
While I was using it even with it standing unused for 2 weeks the...
There,s a few things that irritate me about Rockets and one of them is the inability to check the coolant level through the OEM tank...Now like most 3,s mine does,nt lose or use coolant but on a long road trip i like to check all levels each day easily before hitting the road. My bike is off the...
hey all,
have fitted my new tank and bear claw to the bike but cannot close the gap between the 2. there are only 2 bolts at each end of the claw connecting to hinged nuts/flanges that bolt to the tank.

Hey all,
finally got my replacement gas tank yesterday and spent the morning swapping out the damaged for the new. after removing the fuel pump and float assembly, found these loose in the old tank.
the metal disks are rather heavy but are not dissolvable material. the plastic "cages" look like...
Had my tank sandblasted for painting, i am now putting it back together and want to make sure it is clear of all debris.
Does anyone have any tips for this? I wasgoing to swirl fuel aroud and empty and repeat.
I was finishing up balancing my throttle bodies when I noticed, what appears to be a slight oil leak from the under the back of the oil tank. Any ideas? Only 1,850
Thanks in advance!

You know that little hole to the left of the gas filler cap, supposed to drain whatever liquid builds up in there? Mine is clogged and I dont know how to unclog it. I stuck a large paper clip all the way down with no relief. I looked under the tank and didnt see any holes or drains or...
hi there,
anyone know of a retailer - individual that is selling rocket tank protectors for the 2008 model? I attached a photo of what I'm after. yes I have been trawling through eBay, gumtree for ages and all I get is images in Google.
