    R3T in basement

    Nice bike. I had the exact one till I sold it to another person on this forum. I used to keep it in the basement as well. I have about 10 bikes in the basement at the moment. Half are my son's. Wife does not go there anymore! ;):)

    R3T TuneECU needed

    Are you still running the stock exhausts? I have found them to be very restrictive. I replaced the stock exhausts on my 08 R3T with TORS and was amazed at the difference in power with just that one change. It really opened up the motor. Adding the trip K&N's will open up the input of the...

    newbie,,,with cat converter questions

    Forgot to mention, you replace the catbox with a cat eliminator, and you WILL gain more power. The bike will also be much louder. :D

    newbie,,,with cat converter questions

    Dale, After reading this thread, it is still unclear what bike you have. You never answered the above question. Do you have a single headlight with hard bags? If so, you have an R3T. This bike looks similar to a Harley and has the cats built into the mufflers. There was a touring...

    Ignition problem

    Sounds like you have fallen victim to the infamous ignition switch problem. My R3T had the exact symptoms. I hoped (as you probably are) that it is just a bad connection. More then likely you will end up getting your ignition switch replaced. Save yourself some time and agony ( and possibly...

    Rocket 3 oil capacity

    Sorry Slidderhd, I did not see your post when I asked a similar question to muleskinner. I was wondering the same thing.

    Rocket 3 oil capacity

    Yeah, you are right about the truck oil. What do you think of the Rotella brand of synthetic Diesel oil?

    Brake Pads

    Gotcha! BTW, the reason it took me so long to change the rear pads was because I needed to pick up and dispose of the empty beer cans I drank while doing the job! Cleanliness is godliness..... ;)

    I have a front fender of my R3T . I think they are the same as the standard Rocket. If interested send me an email (ontarget406@charter.net).

    Brake Pads

    I know Hanso has had great luck with EBH HH Pads (per his last post), but I have experiences the same as you. Even the pads I just put in.... they stop OK but not as well as the stock pads. This has been my experience with EBC pads on my current Rocket, My previous Rocket, a previous Daytona...

    Brake Pads

    Well...., that was easy! I just finished. As you can see my last post was 5:45. It is now 6:08pm. Time to take it for a test ride. If you never hear from me again....., :eek: you know I screwed up! :D

    Brake Pads

    Alrighty then.... i will give it a go! :D Thanks for the response. I looked at it earlier and figured pads should be replaceable without having to remove the rear caliper. Thanks again!

    Rocket 3 oil capacity

    Plus 1 on that! Your engine would love an endless steady supply of clean new oil. RockyIII, Your current thinking about using dino oil is not bad logic. You certainly can use that oil if you change it frequently. I would be more concerned about the "weight" of the oil versus synthetic or...
