    Where is everyone getting their insurance from..and are they insisting on a tracker?

    I'm with MC direct or one of their partners via them. Costs about 220 a year. No tracker fitted or asked for. I have considered getting one. My bike is old and not worth as much these days however.

    Boiling coolant out of storage

    Ok. Problem solved. Thank you all for the help and suggestions. The story ends like this. Convinced it was a wiring issue and knowing I had taken some off to remove the intake and solve the leaking oil reservoir gasket I unplugged and went through the connections again. I had noticed that using...

    Boiling coolant out of storage

    So an update. New rad cap fitted and now it does not boil. I just ran it and monitored the temp up to 104 Deg and the fan did not kick in. I can activate the fan still in the tuneecu app and it works when the bike is running. When activating in tune ECU the fan relay clicks on and off with each...

    Boiling coolant out of storage

    I love that about self healing triumphs. I would just ride it about but have lots of traffic and it needs to pass an mot first. On the subject of self healing, I once returned to port Fouchon after a 6 week hitch offshore where the bike had been sat on the quayside. Rode it just fine up to New...

    Replacing Coolant Temp sensor

    Years after this post, finding that to be very true! I think the difficulty of getting the O ring to remain in place on the left tube whilst being torqued down inside that awkward hex fitting into the block is the issue.

    Boiling coolant out of storage

    Don't want to eliminate anything at the moment, so the next thing i was going to do before the rad cap suggestion was drain the coolant, pull the temp switch and test it in the heated up scenario with some boiling water and a control thermomenter. But the reference from the manual is as below.

    Boiling coolant out of storage

    Makes sense for the early boil and the cap is original factory so has had a good life. But why would the fan not kick in when the temp sensor is at 101 deg? thats whats really bothering me. I have been through all of the connections that i took off to sort the oil reservoir but all are...

    Greatest HP of any Rocket 3?

    Any updates for this thread. Are warp 9.9 and Trirocket still the max power kings? From an engineering perspective I find it fascinating to see how a vehicle is pushed and developed by its owners long after they leave the factory. Surely the rocket has 500bhp plus potential?

    New look Rocket

    Bloody good effort. Looks http://www.r3owners.net/images/smilies/cool.gif I've always been partial to shiny chrome and polished aluminium but in recent years my front wheel has started corroding a bit. I've been thinking about trying to get some BST carbon fibre wheels to save worrying about...
