Probably a redundant question, but when changing out the tire, is it the consensus that the shaft needs to be inspected and greased, regardless of Triumph's claims it's maintenance free?
Which part of the shaft are we talking about here that isn't already lubricated?
The oil in the bevel...
Hello everyone!!
My wife and I have been riding an 2013 R3T for a year and a half now and enjoy it very much.
I have not taken the time yet to ride a Roadster.
Are the rides and handling the same?
Are they the exact same bike but one is dressed up more?
If you take the hard bags off the Tour...
Its a reality now. I am now the proud owner of my first Triumph. Bought it from Captain Bob. Its a 2008 with 14k well cared for miles on the clock. Should be shipped from Mass early next week. I went with Federal for the shipping. All I need for it is the front crash bars and hi-way pegs and a...
Greetings Guys,
I have a R3T solo bucket seat with a solo luggage rack for sale. My R3T is my second R3, the first being a 2006 Classic. Liked the bike, but when the 2008 R3T first came out, I immediately fell in love with that and ended up changing over. At any rate, I find the dual seat...
Well, I bought my 2013 R3T back in November and was able to put about 200 miles on it before winter blew in. It's been cold cold cold but little snow this year in Nebraska. I did buy a bucket seat and backrest and am really itchin' to ride the beautiful beast. I gets harder as I get older to...
Looking to get a horn on the bike that isn't silly. At first I thought just to replace the stock with a serious air horn but then found the "Screaming Banshee" info - it adds the air horn but doesn't replace the stock, so you can still give a friendly toot or hold the button down a quarter...
I'm not 100% happy with how the bike looks with black tires, tbh. The front especially looks chunky to me, so since it's tire time anyway I figured why not try to find whitewalls?
The front is a no-brainer, I suppose - Metzeler Marathon ME880 come in the appropriate 150 with WWW - wide white...
Here are some shots of my 2008 R3T with 6 piston Hayabusa calipers.
Some may have a more expensive or exotic 6 pot setup. I just really
enjoy using my mechanical design background to make one-off parts
for my Rocket. This complete setup ran me about 40% the cost of buying
some off the shelf...
A guy on the Triumph Rocket 3 Roadsters touring classic page on FaceBook just posted that the R3T has been discontinued after 2014, anybody else hear of this?
I know I know! never believe anything you read on the Internet..... :whitstling:
I'm looking to possibly sell my black Rocket 3 Touring. I bought it new from the dealer with 13 miles on it. It's got the gel seat, 2 backrests, touring lights with the bezels, hard bags with the chrome accents, and luggage rack. I'm pretty sure it has every dealer option available. It's...
Hey out there in R3TLand, do you ever wish your ride had more brakes up front?
Consider that Triumph uses this same caliper on other models that weigh HUNDREDS
of pounds less than our R3T's?
I took a look and decided I wanted more. So I did some CAD layout work and designed
some nifty little...
Don't know how many of you guys have seen this - I just saw it for the first time this morning.
The rider is VERY conservative! He uses almost none of the available lean angle and doesn't apex most of the turns - just tracks around them - mostly straight up. I know he's 2-up, but there's...
I will have my 2011 Touring tuned soon on a Dynojet. It has a PC5, Jardine headers/exhaust, and underseat K&N a/c. The a/c will not be changed. What are reasonable torque (at 2000 rpm) and HP goals to expect a "good" tuner to achieve? Unfortunately, it's impossible to get the bike to Wayne...
VMAX has convinced some folks that it's a cruiser, but it sure as hell can't pretend to be a tourer. Is any production tourer as fast as the R3T? I've got a feeling that the correct answer is a resounding "HELL NO!"
All,
I am planning a 2 week trip next summer and would like to use a detachable trunk on my solo luggage rack for the trip. I am thinking about the DMY series from Matazu with the rack 1.

Hey Gang,
Love my 2013 R3T even though it’s put up for the winter (-14 wc today).
I managed to put on 150 miles or so last weekend. Love it so far.
I love how the R3T handles in slow maneuvers.
On the Rocket I'm much more at ease than on my Gold Wing in general.
It's amazing.
Have a few...
