    First time off the ground!

    Very simple: I got the bike from the pre-owner with brand new tires and he never knew that the transmission needs grease (low milage, no problem). Since I wanted to save money and my local Triumph dealer was extremely busy at the time anyway, I helped myself. Bridgestone Exedra... so still no...

    First time off the ground!

    I did it twice. Never pulled the final drive. When I did it for the first time, I injected 400ml into the tube and it was never seen again. Even only 150ml would be enough to fill the entire final drive with grease... Since there is enough slope, it definitely runs down the transmission into...

    First time off the ground!

    I grease the transmission splines every 5.000 Kilometers without lifting the bike off the ground or pulling the final drive at all. I simply inject a can of liquid White Grease into the transmissions tube... it's thin like water and reaches the splines easily. Afterwards I do a quick ride...

    Not really... ;) I thought "Totenkopf" is stereotyped for a german user and "Skull" is boring. "Death Head" is somehow a new shorter version of "Death's Head" and it was mentioned several times in the german press in relation to "dangerous" biker gangs. However it's a catchy creation, so I used...

    Greetings from Germany

    Hi Folks! :) I found out that this board is much more interesting than the ones we have in Germany and since I'm working from time to time in the U.S. and have some friends there, I decided to join this community. I own a red 2005 Rocket III with very low milage for a few month and I'm more...
