    First Road Trip

    I got the "Young Guns". Great for one, awful for two. I'm still in the break in period with only 500 or so miles on it (they are very, very hard to start with and say the seats need ~2000m for break-in), but it's already much better than stock. I switched back to stock to go on a two-up ride...

    engine goes at 4th gear

    Mine new 2013 did this too. I went through the '12 minute tune' and that solved it. Please search for the twelve minute tune for exact instructions, do that, and you should be fine. If your issue is like mine, and it sounds like it is, this will solve your problem. Mine hasn't happened after...

    Up and over

    My favorite part is that, post crash, the first thing he's thinking about is the bike, making a b-line to shut it off right after getting up. If he was more attentive, doesn't it appear he could have slowed down more or swerved to either side?

    Rocket science

    I gotta say, Bruce: those look really sweet. I'm considering getting a set despite just putting on the Rebands. The CES system is beautiful, open, and apparently seals and fits as it should:eek:. Very cool.

    Reband Exhaust Install, Again

    Man, I just caught up on that thread. Those pipes look sweet and much better than the Rebands for fit and finish. Given the reports of those here about the finish of the rebands, I went and had mine ceramic coated before ever putting them on. The coater I went to thought it was a cheap paint...

    Will triumph developed the roadster any further

    Amen, Cranberra. Thrill indeed. Just test road the Thunderbird, my first ride on one (here for something on my other Triumph). They are not in the same league as the Rocket. A dealer guy said 'got some punch, don't it!' I didn't have the heart to tell him how gutless it felt.

    Reband Exhaust Install, Again

    I've got them, Bull! Went with the Hagon Nitros. Just need to get them installed. Once I get the quick release sissy bar brackets powder coated I'll get those on too and then should be done for a while..... I think.

    PCV Stupid Questions

    I get error code 2303 - VR Module - Signal Unsych'd, with a high severity. I am indeed getting an AFR reading. I assume that means its getting a reading from the O2 sensor?

    Reband Exhaust Install, Again

    Hi All: A quick update here to this saga. It is on and the headers are sealed! There were a few point when fitting the collector that I thought there's no way this will work. Well, it got on there. Using the helpt of Mittzy, Steel, gra53, and others, I believe I have the headers all sealed...

    PCV Stupid Questions

    wow. That makes sense. Anyone else with a confirmation on this? I'll re-look at the instructions..... i don't remember reading anything about that with the AT or PCV instructions, but that would certainly stand to reason.

    PCV Stupid Questions

    That is indeed the question. I did install the O2 sensor bypass that came with it. I have not gone in via TuneECU to shut the sensor off.

    PCV Stupid Questions

    Can anyone verify that the engine light should go out once the AT has ran for a bit?

    Will triumph developed the roadster any further

    Speaking of the Rocket as a niche bike, I think the actual stock power numbers do scare folks. People always ask about the numbers, of course, and I'd had several seasoned Harley guys say 'whoa, that would scare me' when hearing about the Rocket's HP and torque. As we know, there's a massive...
