    Woolich Racing one of Pros in tuning world has released product for Rocket 2.5

    With my body weight + gear, Werkes exhaust replacing the stock exhaust, and the Penner tune, the Rocket 3 has the same power:weight ratio as my Tiger 1200 GT Pro without bags. Slightly better, in fact. It's no slouch.

    2022 Triumph Rocket3 Gt

    I'm not heavy (77 kilos/170 lbs.), but I've taken the suspension from full hard to full soft and a variety of combinations in between and it's always jarring. Even when I aired the tires down. But I've had the same experience with all cruiser and touring bike layouts. There's only so much you...

    Paint damage under passenger seat

    First thing I do with every motorcycle that has a seat resting on the paint. Normally electrical tape is good enough, but if it moves too much I'll use protective film.

    Werkes Exhaust on UK bike ?

    Post-cat O2 sensors are typically used only to check if the cat is doing its job and throw a check engine if it is not. They are not normally used to impact how the engine runs--that's the job of the pre-cat sensor. I know of no vehicle that won't start because the post-cat O2 sensor says the...

    Werkes Exhaust on UK bike ?

    There are O2 emulators out there that might work. For a post-cat sensor, you just need one that has the correct resistance. You should be able to read that value with an OBD scanner.

    Things I've noticed riding in the cold.

    Anyone ever plasti-dip the levers to reduce heat transfer from the fingers into the levers?

    Here is a place where to get a paint matched for your Rocket

    I use TouchUp Direct, which is accessible from the U.S. Sometimes I have to pick a different model year to get all of the colors to show up, but otherwise it's fine. https://touchupdirect.com/touch-up-paint/triumph/rocket-3-r/#pf-year=2023

    Question about Noise while releasing clutch

    No. The body of a helicopter attempts to spin opposite its main rotor. The tail rotor is used to prevent this.

    Question about Noise while releasing clutch

    With a longitudinal engine you can always tell which way the engine rotates by revving it in neutral with the clutch lever pulled while stopped. If the bike (tries to) rotate to the left, the crank is rotating to the right, and vice versa. As I recall, the bike tries to lean left, so the...

    hill assist not working

    In both cases, before going to the dealer I would try forcing the rear ABS to actuate (brake hard). Maybe that'll "jog it loose" or, at a minimum, let you know that the ABS solenoid isn't working properly if the tire locks up.

    Gas cap won't open at all

    Hmmm...in mine it's on page 78, but I know they aren't all the same.

    Coolant Choices

    The reason Triumph gave for the change is to increase the service life of the coolant from 3 years to 5 years. Inorganic acid salts (silicates, phosphates, borates, nitrites, and amines) only protect for 2-3 years. Organic acid salts aren't quite as protective but do protect for 5-10 years...

    Coolant Choices

    The manual needs to be updated. Per this technical bulletin, the Rocket switched to the D2053 (orange) OAT coolant from the older HD4X (green) Si-OAT coolant following VIN AG0784. https://dot.report/bulletins/MC-10190824-9999.pdf

    Heated gear

    My overall coldest experience was a 3-hour ride at 9 degrees F (-13 C), and all I really needed was heated gloves. Everything else I just layered appropriately. Not to say other heated gear wouldn't have been more comfortable.
