  1. Throttle sticking Idle probem.

    Primary TPS Sure enough, my problem was corrected with the installation of a new TPS. The service manager mentioned, without me asking, that I was getting the revised version of the TPS. I asked about this repair being done under warranty, and when he said "no" I asked him to call Triumph and...

  2. Throttle sticking Idle probem.

    I have a 2006 Standard with 19,500 miles. I starts up and idles fine, and always has. But recently I've noticed that when cruising for awhile at highway speeds the engine won't idle down upon releasing the throttle. In other words, I can take my hand off the throttle but the engine keeps on...

  3. Purchasing an 05 R3, Have a Few ?

    D&D Pipes When bought my R3, it had D&D 3 into 2 pipes already installed. These pipes were way, way too loud for me - forcing me to wear ear plugs whenever I rode. Now, these pipes do have internal baffles which are easily removed, if you want to make them even louder. Personally, I quieted...

  4. Ignition Relocation Users

    Beautiful! That is very helpful information. Thank you very much.

  5. Ignition Relocation Users

    Ignition Switch Failure I have an '06 RIII Std., and the ignition switch has completely failed and must be replaced. I'm considering buying the Rivco Ignition Relocation Kit, so I can attach a leather bag to the metal bracket on the inside of my windshield. I was hoping someone could tell...

  6. Battery Upgrade

    Fog Lamps My fog lights are the $18.00 Wal-mart type, and draw 55 watts as I recall. Maybe this is a higher current draw than the standard Triumph brand fog lamps, and thus are overloading the the R3s charging circuit? My fog lamps aren't wired through the headlights or the ignition switch, but...

  7. Battery Upgrade

    Battery Odyssey I wanted to thank everyone for the advice I asked for, which was most helpful. As it happens, I needed to replace my rear tire anyway - so while my rear wheel was off I was more easily able to get the battery box removed. By the way, I went dark with a Dunlop Sport SP...

  8. Battery Upgrade

    Battery Box Removal Difficulties My 3 year old stock battery hadn't been cutting the mustard for cold weather starting of my '06 R3 Std., so I decided to try replacement with a PC 625. Upon attempting to remove the battery box for modification, I tend to agree that the assembly plant started...

  9. New R3 Owner

    I wanted to thank everyone for all of the welcoming comments, which really made me feel quite at home in this forum. The numerous suggestions, links, pictures, etc. which were provided in response to my expressed interest in saddle bags and handle bars was very helpful in getting me started down...

  10. Fuel gauge

    That is very useful information Lester; thanks for posting it. And thanks to Pig9r for researching and explaining the fix.

  11. Fuel gauge

    Please note that the printed face of the fuel gage does not have any markings to indicate the amount of fuel remaining - there is only an uncalibrated scale. On mine, when the indicator needle is half-way down the scale there has actually been only 1/4 tank of fuel consumed. On mine, when the...

  12. Spring 2010 - Rocket Launch - Kentucky

    scowherd, I will definately participate in the Kentucky event. No preference on dates, but would rather it not be snowing. If you intend an advance trip to scope things out and set plans, I'd be happy to ride along with you. Gene

  13. New R3 Owner

    Hi Folks, I'm a retired Army officer, living in the small town of Jasper, Indiana and I've been the happy owner of a red '06 Rocket III std. for about a week. I rode a lot as a teenager back in the 1960s, and then intermittantly in the '70s and early '80s. But up until a year ago, I hadn't...
