    What helmet do you use on your Rocket?

    I have several crash helmets, Bell M6 Carbon, Roof Boxer, Simpson Bandit, Shark something or other. But my favorite and the one I like best of all is the Icon Airflite.

    Competition Werkes Exhaust 2020 R3

    Guaranteed as long as the breath I exhaled describing it is still warm in the air.

    Top Gear - Triumph Rocket R review: does a crazy 2,500cc bike work?

    The heat thing is really if you get stuck in traffic, which is why most of the US correspondents don’t see it as an issue. I rode it on a really hot day here and was ok until I arrived back in a London jam. Was so snarled I couldn’t even get through on a bike. It threw off so much heat it...

    Top Gear - Triumph Rocket R review: does a crazy 2,500cc bike work?

    Why are they all so obsessed with picking it up if it falls over? What kind of fatheads do they think ride these things. (More or less guaranteed myself I drop it next time out, but hey ho.)

    Radiator cap

    Yeah, I lost one too. Dealer noticed it (I didn’t even know it was missing) and replaced it for free.

    R3 Autobahn Acceleration Performance Video

    You kind of forget how slow shifts are without the quick shifter - I wonder what those numbers would have been on my bike. Anyone know what software you run to get those numbers? Is it a phone app?

    Lean vs Rich, Exhausts and the lust for more performance. Honest Question.

    Well I had a 2 liter Peugeot GTi over 20 years ago that made 180bhp - hard to think that today with 25% more capacity this thing isn’t restricted as hell.

    Search ‘hella plug adapter’ in Amazon and many options come up.

    Rear brake fail

    It’s weird, you’d think they’d either all have the issue or none have the issue. Given Triumph clearly have no clue what causes it, I’m at a bit of a loss to understand what’s going on as well.

    Rear brake fail

    Mine is now laid up, out of use. Triumph no use, dealer no use. Not in any rush to ride it again unfortunately. Think I’ll buy something that works in the meantime, possibly with brakes that work.

    Rear brake fail

    The problem is that one time, you’ll go to pump it and there’s nothing there at all. And if you mainly use the front, the time you’re going for the rear as well is likely to be a moment when you really need it.

    Rear brake fail

    Brake pedal went to the floor around 1500 miles. Had it bled and it’s just done the same thing at 2800 miles. Triumph just say take it back and get it bled again, but I don’t think that’s (anywhere near) good enough. Anyone else with this Issue?
