Who will service the R3 (other than Triumph dealer)?
But don't let Rude Dog be mislead into thinking this is the tech manual he describes, (like I think of Hayes or Clymer). No photos of special service tools being applied to the engine. All of that info comes when you go to England and attend the class to be certified, (maybe Atlanta Georgia also of course.) 8) The tolerances and limits are all there, as are torque specs, but they let you figure out which end of the wrench to hold. :? I have a copy, very helpful for the easy stuff, makes me feel better about paying the dealer for the hard stuff. :lol: :lol:
 
That's exactly what I was talking about. The service manual is bare bones. Not many diagrams, no real pics, pretty vague about a lot of things. It tells you just what you need to know to do something, nothing more. But still worth getting if you want to do as much as you can and learn as much as you can about the machine without becoming a Triumph tech.

Ouch. Mine was $80 from selling dealer and I think that is what Triumph lists them for. Unless a new and improved 06 is more.
 

I did the valve clearance check and it did not require any special tools. They were all in spec.

Now if it needed a shim change, that is a different story. I don't yet know if the shims can be swapped without pulling the camshaft. If so, I have the alignment tool to do that.

You can never have enough tools!.

Speaking of the service manual, all the torque values are listed in nm. Is there a simple formula or table to convert to ft. lbs? Obviously, math is NOT my forte!! :lol: :lol:

Thanks, y'all

The service light came on (A little light shaped like a wrench). It stays on.
