    For Sale 2016 R3 Roadster for sale $9000.00 negotiable

    Only scheduled maintenance, never a single issue. All work done by Triumph dealer. Valve cover gasket was replaced at 20K service. I hear pretty normal, was barely seeping. Oxford heated grips (they’re awesome). Go pro holder, phone mount. I also have another new in box factory windscreen...

    Rear brake 2016 R3

    Thanks, I cracked the bleed valve, fluid came out right away. I pumped it and brakes work. Still a lot more pedal travel. Guess I’ll keep pumping a little more. Been riding the 2023, maybe I just did not notice the pedal travel before. Cleaning her up a little and putting on the market...

    Rear brake 2016 R3

    Jumped on my 2016 Roadster, she’s been sitting for a year. My 2023 Chrome Edition became my first choice. Anyway, got half a mile down the road, rear brake pedal, no pressure, no brake. The MC fluid is at perfect level. Wonder if anyone has an idea before I ride it 25 miles to dealer.

    I need a very straightforward answer. I do not want to have a repeat

    I guess I should say, I did not hesitate buying the 2023, I have had the pleasure of watching the "new gen" rocket guys on here for four years. Now I can stop with all the painful envy.

    I need a very straightforward answer. I do not want to have a repeat

    Many people on here with way more knowledge and experience than I. All I can say is, I have heard from numerous people, many problems with early Rockets. I bought a 2016 Roadster, sight unseen from an old friend 2000 miles away. The bike was three years old with 1200 miles on it. I had never...

    2023 Chrome GT Lamonster nice. Thanks Gadget_HO, connect headset to bike then phone. Only tried GoPro once no success yet, probably because I don't know much about GoPro. phone answer or decline works great, music (playing apple radio) works great pause play skip and volume. A couple of...

    TOURING WINDSCREEN

    The factory screen on my 2016 Roadster has been perfect for 20,000 miles. When I found them, I bought two. Just in case. As you all know, Triumph makes a certain number of any given accessory and then doesn't. I had the same question as I picked up my 2023 GT a month ago. So went with the...

    R3 Basics

    Just my 2 cents. I put 23K on 2016 Rocket (mid controls). Bought and Indian Roadmaster to give her more comfort. The change in foot position drastic and I hate it (except long stretches of HWY). Just got a 2023 GT two weeks ago. The “forward controls” come in the middle position. Figured I...

    TOURING WINDSCREEN

    I guess I should ask. Since I only rode the machine about 12 miles from dealer to home (38 degrees and flurries) still fun. Any opinions on the performance of the factory installed fly screen? Regarding bugs and wind being directing up and over?

    TOURING WINDSCREEN

    Just picked up my 2023 GT. My 2016 factory windscreen for the roadster has been great for the long rides. I dont see Triumph offering a larger screen for the 2023 GT. Wondering if anyone has found an aftermarket they love. Being able to install and remove easily is important to me.

    New Member and recent purchase of Triumph Rocket Touring

    Welcome, be careful of the addiction. I take more from this forum than I give. Hoping to be of more value in the future. What I mean by be careful is, I am a pilot for a big one. Been on paid leave since the whole Covid thing started. Had less than 3k on my 2016 Roadster. Now sitting at...
