    R3T Throttle Issue

    I would agree with Warp, having had to replace the nylon throttle grip a couple times. Not as easy with heated grips which I have now, so I have repaired the grip this last time by using stainless MIG wire a small drill and some patience.

    R3T final drive splines

    My R3T has just turned 35K miles and I know I'm gonna have to do rear tire this winter. I service the splines on the final drive and trans output each time I do a rear tire which is usually every 6-8K miles. The splines have been getting steadily worse each time I service ( I always use the...

    Detent spring, or trans update?

    As Warp mentioned, his buddy suffered with it a while before fixing and that is exactly what I intend to do. It won't be torn apart until this fall and I will do the timing chain and guides at the same time. I have found that if I rest my foot gently down on the shifter after a downshift that it...

    Detent spring, or trans update?

    OK, Thanks guys! I'll let you know soon. Won't have any time to diagnose or work on it 'til next weekend. Meanwhile I'll do a little research on just how to get at it. I see there are several posts in reference to the detent spring replacement.

    Detent spring, or trans update?

    Hello all! Had the 08 R3T out for her spring shakedown run and am depressed. About 35-40 miles into the ride, coming into a shallow turn, I downshifted to 4th and as it deceled it slipped into neutral. I thought nothing of it, assuming I hadn't given it a positive kick. It happened repeatedly...

    Cam tensioner blues

    I know this topic has been beat to death, but I gotta get this off my chest. WTF is up with the timing chain wear? At 25k miles I started to hear the intermittent "click-click" and I checked the tensioner depth which was at 17.2mm. I installed the spacer and tried it for another 500 miles and...

    temp gauge

    Yea,,,sorry I forgot that part. I changed #16 pin from B+ power to switched ignition. Not really much of an issue since it is right beside the fuse box. Otherwise you would have to deal with either turning it off each key cycle or unplugging it. I have to say tho, that I have had no issues...

    temp gauge

    The scangauge is super easy. Pull the seat and you will find the 16 pin OBD connector. Simply plug the scangauge in and route the lead up under the tank. I made a mount for it on the handlebar, but lots of folks just use the Velcro stickys.

    LED tail light bulb

    Wattage vs Lumens? I would be interested in these if only for the reduced power consumption. Would be great if we knew what the amp draw was compared to an 1157. I went with LED running lights simply because with the same lumens as a halogen they draw less than 1/10th the amperage. LED's are...

    power commander

    question answered finally That answers my question that I had in an earlier thread. I wish now that I had gone with either TuneECU or TuneBoy because of the limitations of the PCV. It really irritates me that PCV doesn't address ignition maps. Thanks Wayne
