    New exhaust = overheating engine?

    So I just put on a new slipon muffler. small yet fairly open. I was letting her idle a bit to cook off the crap in the muffler. When I came back to the bike, the temp light was on. I shut her down and grabbed my laptop and hooked up TuneECU to get a reading. 128C!!!! WTF!?!?!?! I heard the fan...

    How does this even break?

    This is on the back of what I assume is a vacuum canister on the left side of the bike. I was chasing the little nut from the battery terminal when I saw this. What is this and how does it get broken?

    New Bars

    So I have always loved the look of bars with internal controls. Have any of you seen the ones from exile? http://www.exilecycles.com/index.php?section=80

    Slipped into neutral and dropped my bike

    Once this bike starts going down, it goes down. I was turning around in a parking lot (slow u-turn like in the MSF test) when, during the middle of the turn, the bike slips from 1st to neutral. I didn't notice until I started leaning and went to give it more power via releasing the clutch...

    talk me out of it

    So I am sitting here wondering, would it hurt my bike to run with no mufflers? Just dump the exhaust after the O2 sensor into a down-pipe. I KNOW this is a bad idea (I like that my neighbors enjoy having me in the neighborhood). I probably won't even do it. But would this hurt the bike...

    Timing retard on 2014 R3R?

    Was wondering if Triumph is still doing the timing retard in 1-3rd gear? I keep seeing people talking about pulling the front tire off the ground in 2nd gear with very little effort. The bike has some serious pull, but mine has never even thought about lifting like that. I have gone WOT many...

    Front Brake lever not turning on brake lights

    So, I noticed something today about my brake lights. The rear brake engages the lights first before the brake itself. As it should. But while getting ready to head out to work, I noticed that I had a good .25 inch of lever travel AND braking before I got the distinctive click of the lights...

    First long trip complete.

    750 miles. In rain and shine. Fort Worth to Lubbock and back again. I need a taller screen but other than that, it was a great trip. The Rocket chewed the miles up without complaint and started a lot of conversations at stops for duel that made the trip longer that I thought it would be. :) I...

    New screen and tablet mount

    So, in prep for my trip on the 4th, I ordered a new screen and mount for my 7 inch tablet. :cool: And yes, I know I need to clean my garage. :unsure: I would have mounted the tablet above the gauges, but then I would not be able to get to my key.

    Capenter head work PLUS forced induction?

    I have seen either one or the other, with similar results (200~hp), but what would stop someone (other than good sense and the need for self preservation) for getting the Carpenter head work and then using either a turbo or super charger? has someone already tried this, and if so, what were the...

    Rocket Data logger

    So, I installed a wireless (Bluetooth) ODB2 reader this afternoon. Hooked it up to my nexus tablet and used "Torque" to capture the data. This is so freakn' cool! 0-60, acceleration readings, RWHP, data plotting overlay to a map of my trip, and on and on. I have a mount on the way, but for now...

    I have ended the drought it seems...

    I bought my R3R and it has rained more since then than it has in he past year! And it looks like it will be raining all this week and the next. No Lubbock trip for me. :(

    Sprained my face today

    puttering around on the rocket today and decided I needed to merge onto the freeway in a hurry. I never got over 4k rpm (short shifting till break in), but I still managed to break my face! it is cracked wide open in the dumbest looking grin and it won't go away. I can't wait till the break in...

    Ordered it today!

    2014 R3R! Lurked around here for the past month or so. You guys have been a great resource and may end up costing me more money than I expected (Carpenter 210+ looks real nice).
