  1. R3 Life Span

    Almost to 30,000 miles on my '05. Problems with the idle and 2nd gear jumping out. Other than those runs great!

  2. 2nd gear problem

    Thanks for the help everyone! - and Regulator - I originally thought I was only spinning a tire - rude awaking to find out it was the gear letting loose instead of the tire!

  3. 2nd gear problem

    I know a few others have had this problem and it has started to get really bad recently for me. In second gear under heavy torque loads (and not even so heavy recently) the bike just seems to come out of gear completely. Yesterday it wouldn't immediately re-engage so I had to hop into third...

  4. fuel filter in tank?

    Thanks for the help - my manual says it needs to be changed out at 20,000 miles

  5. R3 Headlight replacement bulbs?

    I went with the blues and had the exact experience that Rook describes

  6. fuel filter in tank?

    Is the fuel filter inside the tank on an r3 and if so is it advisable to only have it changed out at dealer?

  7. Black Bear Claw - Finally

    John, Wife (bmw r1200c) and I got out today for a little bit - lots of salt and sand as well - about 38 degrees but for us that's spring. Hope you guys get out soon! Ephraim

  8. Black Bear Claw - Finally

    John - you guys riding out there yet? Just got mine out Monday - but riding in the high twenties and low thirties - brrrrr! Bike looks great! Ephraim

  9. Black Bear Claw - Finally

    Looks great ro6ert - got to do the same myself - hate all the chrome - did you look into powder coating it? Ephraim

  10. Front End Wobble

    J, Mine did the same thing - I checked tire pressure etc. and ultimately found out it was the steering head bearing as gr3ywolf suggested. Mechanic tightened it up and it runs tight. Easy fix - good luck! E

  11. Bike to Bike radios?

    gldean, My wife and I bought a couple of "scala riders" last year. They work off of your cell phone using one touch and voice activation technology. My wife had a full windscreen and was able to converse at speeds over 70 mph. I did not have screen and had trouble hearing over 50...

  12. Beware tonic #386 - Drink at your own risk

    I did the 12 minute reset on the ECU as per Biker1059's recommendation - no change however :(

  13. Beware tonic #386 - Drink at your own risk

    Biker, I read your experience on another topic and plan to try that tomorrow morning. That would be great if it worked.

  14. Beware tonic #386 - Drink at your own risk

    By my count 7 guys on this forum have reported bigger problems after #386 - it may be a dealer issue in which case I will try again - it's just such a long way over and back that I want to make sure they know how to fix it when I get there.

  15. Post recall idle problems

    Biker, Thanks - I'll give it a try - I'm about 150 miles from dealer as well. E
