2014 R3T issues?

Since that is the bike I have, I'll say it's the best bike -- depending, as always, on the condition of the one on which you have your eye.

The OEM mapping on the motor makes for significantly less stress on it. The other items are just consumables, and the soft parts.

The two side covers are poorly designed, and will come off at the first opportunity, and best the first thing you do is attach them with supplemental zip ties, as added retention should they pop off.

Of course the Touring was supplied with sidesaddles, pillion and backrest, tiny rear rack, quick detach windshield, and a pair of touring lights. Those should all be present.

Both my 2013 and 2015...never had an issue with those side covers. I think sometimes people miss the bottom pin when putting them on. Also, keep the pins and grommets clean for more bite. A little gorilla snot helps as well. Tacky tacky.

The bottom line for me is corrosion abatement and I'm just not that good at it.

I love that trailer!.

@jjerdonjr so have you had a chance to take her for a ride yet?

We need to know if you have gotten her off the trailer yet?

Inquiring minds want to know.

She is off the trailer but waiting on doctor to clear me tomorrow before I take her out.
Groundhog from hell ran out on me causing me to hit a mailbox and cartwheel into a drainage ditch. Severely sprained both ankles and fractured three toes.
Going to be 70F here in TN so looking forward to burning up some fuel.

I know of two that are on the wanted posters at the post office: was it one of these two?

I purchased a 2014 R3T 1.5 yrs ago and other than a locked up rear brake caliper riding it home after purchase (was replaced and repaired no charge). Since then I've put 14k miles on it and it's been trouble free. I would advise that you don't fill your gas tank above the bottom of the filler neck as doing so can block the intake of air and temporarily starve it of fuel. Other than that I have to say I like this bike more every day and I'd bet you will too!

It will also cause the overflow to overwhelm your emissions canister and once you get a couple of miles down the road it will keep trying to stall unless you keep the revs up. Of course, removing the emissions and allowing any overflow to dump to mother Earth as was originally intended will alleviate that problem.
