  1. Can a Rocket III take down the establishment, and rule this island

    Guess we are all like expectant fathers when we start a fresh rebuild, doesn't matter if the first or many engines, until she fires and runs with good oil pressure and that sweet sound, hundreds of thoughts, doubts and questions run through our minds. I have enjoyed and gained knowledge...

  2. Chasing gremlins

    Big shout-out to R-III-R Turbo as well as everyone who contributed to finding the answers.

  3. Can a Rocket III take down the establishment, and rule this island

    Sorry, never easy to lose a friend. Whether close or distant.

  4. Floppy gear selector

    Check the easiest things first.

  5. Can a Rocket III take down the establishment, and rule this island

    Glad you stayed with it until you found the root cause and can reassemble with confidence of finding the reason.

  6. 2012 R3R-Engine Knocking/Ping around 2000 RPM-FIXED

    Did you run it long enough to use old gas?

  7. Clutch pressure plate lifter bearing.

    Believe I'd change the pressure plate bolts to longer ones. R-3-R Turbo had a posting on the bolts, I replaced mine after reading the post.

  8. Clutch pressure plate lifter bearing.

    Agree, think I would inspect the new bearing, lube and install with normal care. Think I used engine assembly lube. Remember to soak clutch discs and plates with approved motorcycle oil.

  11. Our Rocket legends

    Thanks for the thought, but I'm only eight months over eighty, lucky to have lasted this long, and still have a Rocket to ride. Learned a lot about our bikes from many people on this forum. Enjoy the journey!!!

  12. Can a Rocket III take down the establishment, and rule this island

    Serious times, and then soon serious fun time

  13. Dreaded high idle problem

    Yes, before modifying, found several maybe's but no definite answer. Finally disconnected the link and no more problems, didn't set any codes after removing link.

  14. Header exhaust leak

    good picture doesn't look like it centers on the flange, can you move the pipes individually?

  15. Fuel lines and connections.

    None that I know of, use good hoses, clamps and filter. I used factory hoses the last time.
