    Clutch Question During Break-in

    I checked the free play...just so I know I am on the same page...the 2mm of adjustment is the amount the lever will move...but the cable will travel as well...correct the 2 mm of movement is the amount the lever, cable and lower arm will move before the clutch springs are felt to engage.

    Clutch Question During Break-in

    After my 600 mile break in service, I noticed a chirping or squeaking noise when the clutch was engaged especially in 1st gear. Also in Neutral at idle there seemed to be more clutch noise that would stop when the clutch lever was pulled. I wonder if the different oil used in the initial oil...

    1000 Miles in just under 48 hrs on my Rocket X

    I took the opportunity to travel from Milwaukee to Louisville, KY to a work related construction expo on my 2015 Rocket X. I put all my gear in a back pack that also acted as a backrest. This is my 2nd Rocket. The first being a 2007 Standard. I was amazed at the comfort this bike offered...

    I'm Taking this incident as a "Glass half full" issue.

    The dealer picked up the bike today they ordered a new cable to replace the existing it is not as simple as just adding a new terminal end. Cutting only one half of an inch off of the battery cable resulted in it being too short to make the link to the battery. Hopefully I will get the bike...

    what seat?

    FYI... I had a Rumble Seat on a previous Rocket...The passenger accommodations are quite small (narrow and short). The seat pushes you forward a bit from a standard set up as well. It looks great especially when the colored panel is painted to match. Could not be easier to use.

    2015 Rocket Roadsters ("X")

    My previous (2007) Rocket III STD. had less HP and TQ according to Triumph than does my 2015 X or any current Roadster for that matter. Not sure what was done to gain the additional #'s but my question is this: I read that the previously limited 1st-3rd gears is no longer on current models...
