    SCHEDULED MAINTENANCE CHECK SHEET - 10K mile Valve clearances - check/adjust

    Call Hinckley UK where they make them and they will tell you It was changed back in 2012/13 to 20k-40K-60k. I called to reaffirm something I already knew last week as the Triumph dealer out here was trying to tell me it's 10K-30-50 and says so in the book. Told him the books wrong and hasn't...

    20,000 mile service

    That is correct Triumph UK sent out a Bullet point Memo to all US dealers in 2012 that It had changed from 10K to 20K for the Valve check. I also called Triumph UK to confirm and was told by the guys who make them It's 20k for the valve check.

    10k mile oil changes???

    Nope, Sorry the Valve check is at 20'000 miles then 40-60-80 ect. Triumph sent out a bulletin in 2011 informing all US dealers of this change. I called Hinckley UK where they're made and they confirmed it years ago...

    10k mile oil changes???

    Valve check every 20'000 miles Oil change every 10'000 miles and that's from the guys back in Hinckley UK who make them. Oh and by the way the Mechanic I spoke to told me the Valve check service should only take about 4 1/2 hours. A certain Dealer out here quoted me 12 hrs...

    Issues with Batwing fairing on R3

    It will if the screen is replaced with a taller version. I had a terrible problem with my Harley Ultra Classic Electra Glide when I bought it the buffeting was killing me and it was a real uncomfortable ride untill I replaced the screen with one 3 inches taller and wallah no buffeting at all...

    Hanging it up again....

    Fair one but my attitude is it's all about fate and if I'm destined to die at 98 in my sleep or wiped out by a Big Rig on the southbound lane of the I-15 Freeway on my rocket 111 then so be it, either way I'll be riding right up to that day.

    It’s got to me

    I bought my Rocket 111 new in 2011 and 8 years later all I have had to do outside regular service was change my stock battery about 18 months ago. I tend to go through rear brake pads and Tires but I put that down to the way I ride.

    The New Rocket 3 is on Avons....check this out...

    R3 Roadster and you get over 11000 miles on a single rear Cobra tire? I just put Cobras on my 2011 R3T and if the rear gets anywhere close to that I'll be real happy. My previous 4 rear tires barely managed 6000 miles.
