transmission

My 2017 pops out of second gear into neutral as stress is lowered from hard acceleration, so, more at the end of second gear. Reported to dealer who seems to think it is something I am doing as they cannot reproduce the issue. New issue, trans will not shift below second gear. 3rd, 4th, 5th...

Anyone fancy a 2500cc Rocket Stroker Engine Kit? And/or a 6 speed Rocket transmission? That is the vision. Step 1: Build an R&D testing engine from spare parts to run on a bench This is the construction of the R&D Test engine, which will be used to facilitate & test engine enhancements...

Got up this morning to my 05 R3 to work. Noticed the bike seemed to hesitate the backwards roll I have to do to get down my driveway to get to the street. Bike shifted it usual clunky shifts to work. When I went to park could not get the bike to shift to neutral. Shut the bike off, pop right...

has anybody talked to robinson industries in saint james NY very recently? or anybody has a alternate phone number for them? I am a bit concerned my transmission has presumably arrived at their shop but for the past 4 days however nobody has answered the phone nor email from this...

Hello all, I removed the motor from the frame of my 2007 rocket III classic (silver). I have a transmission problem and since the trans is located in the lower half of the engine I am going to glip this guy upside down to work on it. I will be installing new undercut shafts with a billet 4th...

well I picked up my transmission today from the shop packed it and tomorrow I send it east to robinson industries for backcutting and replacing fourth gear as well since it is the weak link in the bunch but as I walked back in the shop and was looking around for my R3 OMG :eek::eek: found...

Hello all! Today I found myself the new owner of a gorgeous Rocket III... With a catch of course. Money was tight but I've been eyeing this bike for some time. I found one on CL near me with 20k miles on all original parts but last owner reports trans failure. Somewhere between 4th and 5th he...

So, I'm posting this for a couple of reasons. One, to add mine to the list of Rockets with a failed transmission that was supposedly fixed after '10 and two, to see what guys who were successful in getting their claims covered said to corporate. I have 39,000 miles on her. I can't get it out...

I have been searching for this same issue among all of the other transmission problems and have not seen this one yet. I was riding home the other night low speed leaving downtown when everytime I rolled of of the throttle it slipped out if first gear. Did this a few times . When I tried to...

Went for a little ride today to visit @ozrider at his workshop..... Anyway when I was leaving I naturally gassed it up the road and being a typically hot Queensland day the road is hot and grippy. Well just about to change to second gear i felt an abnormal vibration that continued into second...

I hate to start a new thread on transmission issues, but I have read so many on the subject that I am just getting more confused. I have an 09 Rocket Touring. Last night as I started home, as soon as I started rolling the transmission jumped out of gear but I didn't think much of it. I put it...

2006 Classic, stuck in traffic, stop and go, green light, go to up shift and nothing, had to look down to make sure I'v got my heel on the shifter and yep, sure do. Toe part is standing almost straight up. I pull into a gas station and yep...shifter goes up and down like its not connected to...

Hi guys, my names Mike and im from British Columbia, Canada. I just purchased a 2005 Rocket III and even though Ive only taken it around the block and parked it for the winter im in love. I plan to leave it stock for a season until i get used to the bike as i come from riding enduros so its a...

I just bought a 2005 Rocket with 8000 miles on it and I seemed to notice some difficulty shifting into 5th gear the other day while under moderate acceleration. Later I had a similar issue with 3rd. It acted like there was no 5th to shift into. It seems if you accelerate slower it is fine. My...

Hi All, New to the R3R, was wondering about the type of transmission makeup and gears cuts. Basically interested in knowing if speed shifting or shifting without clutch will damage the trans or not. Thanks. JR

This is a safety issue ! Transmission failure can lead to rear wheel lock-up, loss of control, severe injury and even death. I WHOLE HEARTEDLY ENDORSE THIS CALL FOR CONTACTING NHTSA -- please see the link to Consumer Reports for suggestion on filing a complaint. And when you're ready, go here...

Hi all, been trolling here for a while. Seen some posts complaining about dealers so I wanted to say something nice about two. In February I purchased a 2007 Classic Tourer from a dealer in Chicago, I was nervous about buying a bike I hadn't ridden but I fell in love... so you know how that...

Ok, I was being an idiot but just got back from a ride and my rocket was idling funny. So I put it into neutral and revved it up (no clutch) and it popped into first, lurched ahead hard and stalled. I tried to start and ride it to see of it was effed up. Hard to find neutral, had to gear up and...

Hi all, I own a 2006 R3 Classic. I've been having this issue after long period of highway. When I try to downshift it won't downshift. Basically the lever bottoms out, there is no clicking. After many tries and slowing down I am able to go all the way down and then it works properly. I have...

hello captains.. the insurance co told me to dispose of the rocket roadster 2013 as they do not want to spend money to haul it away . I am going to take the motor apart I already saved my lifetime filter and I will remove the NL kit,everything inside looks good . the whole transmission...
