    Fuel range

    I average in the low 30s. The light goes on early, with about 2 gallons still in the tank.

    3rd gear slipping on high torque

    I had that happen on one of my other bikes, and it turned out to worn 4th gear dogs. A new gear fixed it.

    Dreaded high idle problem

    Yes, caused by a faulty TPS.

    2016 Rocket III - Time for Tires - But which ones...and what sizes?

    I low-sided, for no apparent reason, when I was running Cobra Chromes. So if grip is your priority, I wouldn't recommend them.

    Rocket III pricing

    That's nonsense - I thought the greens were all about reusing things. I certainly am. I'm having my old bikes restored, rather than buying new ones.

    5000 pound sterling is actually $6348.

    Rocket III pricing

    My 2005 isn't passenger friendly either. My wife took one ride and told me never again.

    Rocket III pricing

    That's me. I recently bought a 1979 Honda CBX and a 1982 Honda CX500 Turbo.

    I could use some advise with insurance..

    If the insurance company decides to "total" it, then you get a check and you get to keep your bike (as is). Then you can choose whether to use the money to fix the bike, or buy another bike and scrap/part out your damaged bike. Whatever you can get for scrap/parts you get to keep. The impound...

    High Idle on 05 Classic

    I'm not a mechanic, but my understanding is there are two TP sensors, one towards the front of the bike, and one towards the back. I think I've read it's the front TPS that is usually the bad one, but it's an old bike so I replaced both.

    High Idle on 05 Classic

    I had that problem with my '05, and replacing the TPSs (I replaced both) fixed it.

    How Long Have You Owned Your Rocket

    I see you had the Cobra 6 into 6 exhaust. Great sounding pipes! When my motorcycle mechanic was working on mine, his neighbor heard it running and came over and asked "Are you working on a car?"

    How Long Have You Owned Your Rocket

    May 2013. The only bike I've owned longer is my 1998 Valkyrie, purchased September 2011.

    Rear ride…..shocks?

    I have an '05 and am 230 lbs and even on the softest setting the rear shocks rode too hard. I replaced them with Progressives and the ride is better.

    Hanging Idle

    Sounds like the classic bad throttle position sensor.
