One might think that finding what size tools are needed for wheel removal might be easy, but no it's not. I did find that the front wheel spindle needs a 19mm hex socket but can't find any info on the rear spindle torx bolt, even the manual only states how to remove it and torque values but not...
When I got my first Rocket, the wife and I did lots of touring and camping. And the amount of crap we took started to get out of hand. So I built a single wheel trailer using a life raft tank and a bespoke chassis.
The chassis was constructed using 25mm box tubing, the rear wheel and swinging...
Looking at getting the Raboconda tire changer. I like how portable it is. Not sure how effective it is on the Rocket rear wheel or what spindle adapter to get for the rear hub size. Has anyone here tried to use it for their Rocket tires?
Im from the New England area of the United States and own a 2022 GT. Wondering if anyone that owns an R model bike would be interested in a wheel swap. My preference would be for the all black wheels on the R and would hope that someone that owns an R model would prefer the GT wheels. My GT...
I am on the hunt for a R3R.
Doing my research and finding that the GT & R are the same bike with ancillary changes (bars, peg location, pillion backrest, rear wheel, etc)
I much prefer the look of the GT rear wheel.
Is it just that the R rear wheel is completely coated and the GT has machined...
Listed on the maintenance schedule as part of the 10K service is lubing the "rear wheel roller bearing (left hand side outer)". Has anyone done that, or is there a YouTube video or any other resource, other than a shop manual, readily available that shows how to do that?

Hi fellas, first of all sorry for my English, it's not my first language and probably there will be a lot of mistakes!
I have a doubt.:
Is it possible that the front wheel of our motorcycle is not centered with respect to its longitudinal axis?
Because I appreciate a deviation. A big one, and...
Going with a 3rd wheel. I have decided to trike out my 2014 R3T. Motor Trike has a nice-looking setup, plus it has reverse. My wife is licking her chops. Our turn-in date at the shop will be the 7th.
I will have a lot of take-off parts, which I will want to sell. I have the passenger...
I recently removed my back wheel for tire replacement and low and behold my wheels bearing are bound up again. I've been reading about people shortening the spacer. I don't agree. I've attached a drawing from All Balls on bearing installation with spacer. In the drawing the "fully seated...
There is an adjustment bolt on the right side back of motor. I know it has something to do with motor/ rear wheel alignment. Does anyone know how it works. No one knows!?
well I've been doing maintanance on the R3R and did the fork oil today. so am trying to replace the front wheel tire assembly and it's been difficult. seems to be binding on the inlet side, greased it up good but that did not solve the problem. Anybody got a good method for remounting the...
I have taken the wheels off, tyres off and stripped the wheels down to just the rims ready for coating.
I did my first rocket and went satin black, looked great and was on my 2009 Black Roadster, really set the bike off nice. Skipped the Phantom Blue 2011 Roadster.
The Roadster I have now (I...
So here's the story. 3 months ago I thought I caught a nail on the rear because it kept deflating after a couple of days. I got new Cobra Tires...it took 3 months. My dealership installed them, everything was fine. I put the bike away, then today as I got on the bike, I felt the difference. I...
