    Sport seat - pillion delete

    Hi Bill Unless you don't want to carry the wife you don't need this. With this you remove the pillion seat completely and this is an infill that bolts behind the riders seat - allowing you a stress free journey without being punched in the kidneys to slow down 😎

    Sissy bar

    I've had an ongoing annoyance with the sissy bar that was fitted to my R from new. I prefer it set on the lowest setting but every time I went out the sissy bar was sitting at the top setting. Boredom got the better of me today so I had a look inside. The tab you press to move the pad was...

    Foot pegs

    Will foot pegs from any other model triumph fit the newer R3r ? Disappointed with the final on the OEM. Tbh the first Rocket I went to see was a 2020 with 6k miles on it and when I saw the wear on the pegs I thought it had been clocked. I ended up buying new but they just look grubby and worn

    Avon

    I switched to Metzler also just before Christmas. We've had so much rain since Christmas I was starting work on an ark. Pretty happy with them so far. This weekend was my first spin in dry weather and they're brilliant. Cheaper, easier to get hold of and every bit as good as the Avons

    2025 oil leak less than 10,000km

    I had the exact same problem. The top cover over the gearbox and behind the air intake isn't torqued correctly at the factory. If you get it in time a squeeze will sort it. I needed a new gasket and no problem since Tim

    Lube the splines...

    Simple to do. Remove the heel plate and cover for the starter. Remove the brushed alloy cover and there a plastic cover over the universal joint on the shaft. If you squeeze the cover with your hand you should be able to get it under the lip and pull it out

    Lube the splines...

    For anyone doing this do both ends. I got my grease this morning so I dropped my wheel and new metzeler to my tyre guy. As luck would have it all 4 diff studs came out. The flange looked pretty clean but I could see a few if the splines were shiny and not much grease to be seen. I decided to...
