Update: OK, though this wasn't my first guess, the Root cause was determined to be a bad tune applied to the bike by the dealer. They re-applied the tune and all is fine. Looks like the bike was failing some power-on self check and not spinning up the fuel pump or starter. Thank you all for...
Thanks for the suggestion. It was at the dealer yesterday (they said they checked all that) and it is an intermittent issue, so not a blown fuse. Though they could of missed a poorly seated fuse in their checks. It was still dark outside when I tried to leave (I'm 200 mi from home in a hotel...
Thanks for the prompt reply. yes, it is actually in Neutral, though the indicator doesn't light during this failure state. Most indicators are inoperative, including neutral
So, tried to start my bike up this morning to go to work. the Bike has been acting weird and It was in the dealer yesterday, and they said it was fine and no error codes. Hoping that you guys can help figure it out.
Note: it's none of the stupid stuff we've all done before (kill switch, in...
Sorry, I just saw this thread
Hey man, sorry about all the drama the idiot driver caused. Way lucky you weren't puttering along on your Rocket. I'm about an hour away from SAC, so give a shoult out if you need anything.

Payload
I saw reference to a 480lb max load in a cycle magazine article, though it was for the 2008. If it helps, I'm 280lbs and the wife is about 150. we ride 2 up all the time. just remember to reset the rear shocks to a higher setting.
Datatool manuals
I didn't see these posted before, so sorry if duplicate.
I have the intall guide (too big to attach due to forum restrictions) and
the switch guide (attached here).
If needed, mail me at: dave@reynolds.name and I'll send the install guide.
Thx

Same Problem... Have more info
I have a 2011 R3T. I did the following work, which turned out fine, but the turn signals flash way too fast:
- Removed front turn signals and replaced with super-bright PIAA bullet lights onto signal brackets (same size housing, looks cool).
- Wired PIAAs into...
Still Available?
Fred:

Re: why R3T doesn't sell well
I have to agree with everything said. I am a long-distance rider, but don't like riding wings. I like big cruisers and the R3T allowed me to quit whining about my Valkyrie. I put 10K miles on the R3T in the fist 3 months. Trips up/down the west coast, Route 66...
Re: reply
The dealer in Modesto is going to fix it, and replace the triple tree, under warranty, which is good. I was planning on taking that ride to Carmel today though... Kinda bummed I missed it. Bike will be in the shop for a week+.
re: Cat Delete
I would be VERY interested in a .wav of the sound she makes now. Also, any luck with the new tune?
I have TORS (no cat bypass). Sound difference is subtle. Being able to coax a deeper tone from the bike would be great.
2011 R3T
Noticed some scratches on the top of my triple tree. Ends up the issue was:
Triumph forgot to install the rubber bushings for mounting the gas tank. The tank bounced around (I didn't notice anything) and broke the front mounting bracket, causing the tank to drop onto the triple...
Re: integrated tail light mfr request
update to tdraggers post of 2/16/09. Here is the response I got when asking for an integrated tail light / turn signal for the Rocket III:
Unfortunately probably not any time soon because we do not get many requests for this model. If that changes, we...
