  1. Headlight not working on 2009 R3T

    Noticed my headlight not working today; neither low, nor hi beam. Aux/fog lights work fine. The tiny little aux bulb inside the bucket lights up, but not the main bulb. I have the EB relay. What's typical life of bulb? Any easy stuff to try before I buy a new bulb? I've been riding since 1970...
  2. First Impressions Darkside R3T

    Have had a 205/60R16 General Altimax fitted on my 09 R3T for a couple of days and approx 200 miles now and thought I would give my first impressions vs the m/c tyres I had fitted before in case anyone is interested. My bike was running Avon Venoms front and rear which I thought were a huge...

  4. R3T Turn Signal Flasher Location

    Does anyone know where the turn signal flasher unit is located on the R3T? According to the service manual it is under the right side cover. But, what they show as the flasher unit is the relay for the Auxiliary Lights. I have a long running problem with my turn signals only working part time...
  5. R3t air box mod

    Here is an idea I had for the stock touring air box. I got the idea from a guy named "Turbo Tom" who has a performance bike shop in Orange County, CA. He did the same thing for the Honda ST1300 and everyone who did it claimed a power increase. Our air filters have the same size opening at the...
  6. R3T Handlebar Risers

    Can you guys tell me where I can get some risers and how much height I can get away with keeping the OEM cables and wiring. I'd like for my bars to come back to me a little more. Really offset rearward risers is what I need. Can I get by with 1" or 2"? Thanks all.
  7. 2009 R3T color question

    Which blue on the '09 R3T is "Azure" blue? Is it the lighter of the two shades on the bike, or the darker? I put a light scratch on my tank, and need to know what touch up paint to order: azure or eclipse. I need the lighter shade, whichever one that is. Thanks, CW

  9. R3T K&N questions

    I would like to do this mod to my bike. I can't find what K&N part number I need for this. I see a lot of people saying to use RU-2780, but they are all riding standards or classics. I looked under my bear claw, and there isn't a hell of a lot of room under there. What filters do the...
  10. R3T tune question

    I currently have a set of the TORS pipes mounted on my 08 R3T. It is running the proper Triumph tune for these pipes. If I go to triple K&N's, I will need a new tune, right? What tune would I want? Would my dealer have one? Thanx! Matt
  11. What are R3T's bringing right now?

    Been thinking about a new Goldwing and just wondered if anyone traded their R3T recently of sold one?
  12. R3T Needs More Power

    Can a 2010 R3T be set up like a Classic? What I mean is can I program my bike to have the same quoted 160 hp, 150 torque as the Classic? This (quoted) 100hp/160lb/ft torque just ain't enough. I absolutely love this bike and won't trade for a Classic, but would love more power. If I were rich and...
  13. TuneECU help needed - R3T with Jardines and single K&N

    Hey gang, I can't get my 2008 Rocket III Touring to run right since installing Jardines. I have a single K&N under the seat and I'm not inclined to attempt the triple K&N mod, so please don't suggest that! I'm getting lots of popping on deceleration while downshifting, especially while...
  14. Finally got my r3t tach!

    Got my tachometer installed yesterday at Gulf Coast Motorcycles in Ft. Myers, FL. It's a KOSO, with a water temp function as well. Fits beautifully and except for the mount to the bars being a little flimsy - I couldn't be happier. It was a lengthy install (3.5 hours), mostly related to the...

    Just installed trip K&N's with previously installed Jardine exhaust system. Thanks to Wayne and Hans for their help trying to get this monster tuned. Unfortunately Hans map did not work for my ride. Anyone else out there that has a TuneEcu map that I can try until I can get down to Wayne for...
  17. What rear tire are you running on your R3T.

    I got a 2008 Rocket III Tourer with the stock 180/70-16, and ride a tad bit aggressive, tired of all the tire spin taking off :D and am wonder if anyone has tried changing the rear tire to a Metzeler ME880 200/60 - 16, will it fit okay... or is there another option to get a bigger tire on this...

    I am wondering if it would be possible to remove the stock single headlight from my R3T and install the dual headlights found on the other models :confused: What do you guys think? could it be done?
  20. Broke down R3T in New Jersey.

    Well, I'm in trouble. On day 12 of a 10,000-mile around-the-USA ride. RIGHT BEFORE the Lincoln Tunnel, going into NYC from NJ, my Rocket III died. Coasted into a NJ transit lot and called my dealer in California. He said it's probably related to the alarm (lights go on, all signals flash...
