Great to have you contributing Jack. Have no clue about WY. Think I rode there one year after Sturgis, but I am a city boy and got out fairly quickly as I thought I was going to ride off the edge of the earth! Kidding, wonderful country. Hope to hear from you alot, and Toystoretom does deserve a medal.

Welcome BusaJack. Great intro.
Having lived in Colorado Springs 12 years ago I'm pretty sure Wyoming also has the distinction of measurable snowfall every month of the year. Fortunately, not every year.
Stay in touch.

"If Ya're gunna be stupid Ya better be tuff ... cause there ain't no education in the second mule kick"
I guess that says it all.
I've been drooling for an R3 since I first heard about it in '04.
Getting close to purchase time.....

Wow, that's a moniker.
There is education in the second kick. If you let the first get by without retribution, you deserve the second. I've broken a few horses in my younger years and fact is, if they kick you the first time and you don't get their attention via 2x4, you deserve the second shot.
When you get an R3, you'll find it easier to manage than four legged conveyances. Faster too.

Hi All,
I'm Mark from Ohio. I own a blue 07 Rocket Classic. I've had some decel popping issues and it's very hot to ride on hot days. Anyone have any suggestions for these issues? Also, I purchased a factory service manual part # 3852294 Issue 3, dated 01.2006. Is this the most recent maual for my year of rocket? Thanks!

Hi Mark
Hi Mark:
I'm Flip. Used to be from Ohio, now from Michigan. I presume you are either east of Cleveland or near Columbus as I see there a few dealers out that way. As far as the decel popping, I believe all the stock bikes have it. It's a product of the emissions compliant hardware and I guess you can fix it with a Tuneboy or a PCIII if you want to, for some money, that is.
The bikes are hot to ride in hot, humid weather. It's a big motor and a big radiator and the heat has to go somewhere. As far as I know, Triumph isn't offering air conditioning on the R3 yet. I've read that removal of the catalytic converter box (if yours is filled with catalyst) will reduce the heat somewhat but then you'll have to replace it with a bypass pipe and that's some money too.
As far as the shop manual, I imagine other than the rear brake pipe re-routing (for cornering clearance), any manual will do. Nothing other than some minor cosmetic changes have taken place.
Interesting, even my T100 which is heavily modified barks a little on decel.
Hang around, this place gets interesting on occasion.

Hi guys. I am Craig and I live in Casper, WY. I found an 05 Graphite Rocket with 441 miles on it. I am coming to it from a VTX1800 that I have done tons of mods too. I have wanted a Rocket for 2 years now and really wanted a graphite color one so I am pleased I found one that was practically new for a great price!! Now to begin the accessories and mods. I will be posting questions in the forums and appreciate any input you can all give to help me make the right choices. Thanks in advance for a great forum!! Craig
