    Got a insta 360 x5 today

    I have the X4. They're vastly superior to those garbage GoPros that won't even charge while recording. I only use mine as a dashcam for liability reasons. I already have to tolerate seeing myself in the mirror--I don't need to see videos of myself, too.

    Din plug tip

    I solved mine partially by bending the radial contacts on the plug outward, but mainly by bending the socket's contacts for the axial portion inward. But I like the O-ring idea, which feels like a more permanent solution for the radial part.

    Shift Assist Training?

    The Rocket 3 and the Tiger 1200 both charge the battery in the exact same way (constant voltage in the low 14-volt range). One uses LiFePO4 and the other AGM and both work just fine.

    Odometer Error?

    The Rocket 3? The GT is ~700 lbs. with all fluids (648.2 dry). With the Werkes exhaust it's about 675 lbs. wet.

    Odometer Error?

    I record all fuel-ups in Fuelly. Based on that data, I've averaged 33.604 U.S. MPG over the past 2 years. My worst ever fill-up was 26.316 and my best was 44.104 (pure highway between the two stations). That's on 89 U.S. octane (RON + MON)/2 This is, of course, based on the bike's...

    Shift Assist Training?

    I looked at the owner's manual, the TSA installation manual, and the service manual and the only times any of them say to do this is if you've just (re-)installed the TSA or there's a gear position fault or the gear position sensor has been reinstalled, in which case you need to do the gear...

    Odometer Error?

    UN/ECE regulation 39 requires that Motorcycle speedometers in this speed class be engineered to read high from 0.5% to 16.2% high at 120 km/h, so the 8% I see is right in the middle of that range. The U.S. has no regulations regarding speedometer accuracy, so vehicles intended solely for the...

    Road gas tank down to 1 mile left

    Service manual says 18.8 liters, or 4.97 U.S. Gallons, or 4.14 imperial gallons. Owner's manual (U.S.) apparently rounds up and says 19 liters, or 5.02 U.S. Gallons, or 4.18 imperial gallons. Fuel light supposedly comes on at 4 liters remaining. The last time I had it come on, I filled it...

    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
