  2. Front end wobble returned; this time I went down

    Word of advice to all: Don't assume a wobble has been rectified; BE SURE. It can reappear at the worst possible time. One of the risks we assume when we swing our leg over a bike is the risk of equipment failure. I will forever live with the regret I now have for not dealing with my wobble in...

  3. Front end wobble returned; this time I went down

    As it turned out, I guess I didn't cure it. I only thought I did. I was obviously, sadly mistaken. Sent from my DROID2 GLOBAL using Tapatalk

  4. Front end wobble returned; this time I went down

    I was doing about 75mph on I-75 north out of Chattanooga Monday, when my front end wobble reappeared. A real tank slapper this time! Broke my collar bone, 3 ribs, 5 bones in my foot. The Grace of God and my gear kept me safe from a worse fate. The R3T is toast. ATGATT!!! Sent from my...

  6. The #1 reason why the r3t does not sell well

    I have an'09 R3T, and like it fairly well...up to about 90 mph. The more i ride it, the more I notice the girth, the weight, the sheer mass of the bike. I had it tuned, so it runs very, very well. But at speeds over 90, it's not for me. The handling gets too squirrely. Contrast that with my...

  7. Need Help.

    Granted, I have an R3T, so mine is probably different, but there was no cutting required for me. I simply unplugged light from old harness, plugged it into the new harness, plugged the new harness to the connector under the tank, and ran a hot wire to the battery. Very easy, at least on the...

  8. How do you open your gas tank on a classic when you cant find the key?

    Wierd, man. My R3T requires a key neither for seat removal, nor gas cap.

  9. Headlight not working on 2009 R3T

    Noticed my headlight not working today; neither low, nor hi beam. Aux/fog lights work fine. The tiny little aux bulb inside the bucket lights up, but not the main bulb. I have the EB relay. What's typical life of bulb? Any easy stuff to try before I buy a new bulb? I've been riding since 1970...

  10. Headlight out on 2009 R3T

    Noticed my headlight not working today; neither low, nor hi beam. The little tiny aux bulb lighgs up, but no headlight. Aux/fog lights work fine. I have EB relay kit. What's typical bulb life? Any easy stuff to try before I buy a new bulb? Sent from my DROID2 GLOBAL using Tapatalk

  11. Just ordered a 205/60/16 Altimax HP

    I'm running my 2nd Ds and haven't seen that cookie yet!!!:confused:

  12. Just ordered a 205/60/16 Altimax HP

    I have the same tire on my R3T. Love it! Haven't had the rear end come around on me once since the DS. With the stock MT on the rear, the least little touch of the rear brake, and here she comes: rear wheel lock up and skid around. Don't have that problem with the DS. Handing, wear...

  13. Louder Pipes is it possible

    Car tire does wonders for the R3T rear braking capability. Toronto is dead right about the engine noise, but I have to add: why in the world anyone would want louder pipes is beyond me. After riding 40 years, I'm looking for less noise, not more!!!!!! Louder pipes create more anti-biker...

  14. Head shake/tank slap?

    Well, head shake is cured! Here's how it all ended up: vendor gave me a refund for the Shinko. So, I purchased a Metzeler from Bike Bandit, and mounted it instead. I was so eager to get the Metzeler mounted, I forgot to take my wheel balancer and lead weights to my shop, so I decided to...

  15. Metzeler for R3T front: bias or radial?

    I had a Shinko too. Could never get the shimmy out of it. Downright scary at 85 mph. Claimed it as a defect and got my money back, then ordered the Metz. Sent from my DROID2 GLOBAL using Tapatalk
