    Rocket 3 Roadster Possibly Overheating?

    Diagnosing overheating issues can be an absolute nightmare even when you're hands on with the engine and have all the knowledge and equipment in the world. You're seriously up against it trying to solve it on a forum if you have little experience. My advice is find a new shop, the one you're...

    This^^^ It is actually easier than it looks. I remember seeing it and filling with dread, but five minutes later it was out and went back in just as easy.

    Highest mileage 2500?

    Not sure why I'm getting response to things I haven't said? But just to reiterate for the OP, if you are gentle this bike will last a very long time (generally speaking), if you are mean to it then it will have a shorter life and is capable of significant harm quickly. An unverified anecdotal...

    Highest mileage 2500?

    Rockets (any of them) are very reactive to how they are used, more so than most other machines. If you use it gently it is over-engineered for what it is doing, if you use it hard it is under-engineered for the types of forces it is capable of producing. If you want to do generally gentle...

    There’s a New Eight-Cylinder Two-Stroke Motorcycle Coming. And It Promises Nearly 300 HP

    I do love people creating crazy new stuff. But if I had a spare 100 grand I'd buy an evel knievel rocket, bolt a charger onto it, and take a very fancy holiday.

    Hi All! Have my 2025 Rocket GT in the shop for starting issues.

    Cleaning the injectors is almost certainly just a precaution (can't say for sure, I'm not hands on on the bike obviously). A fouled or damaged injector could cause on going complaints and has the potential to cause catastrophic engine damage. Although the chances of injector problems from what...

    2013 Roadster No Starty!

    Yep, my assumption is what Triumph actually means is we don't sell a bearing and seal kit and recommend replacing the pump. We which is all fine and well if you actually have the pump to sell (and aren't gouging the price too much). But any bearing shop will be able to find a seal and bearings...

    The seal is not replaceable?

    2013 Roadster No Starty!

    I'm hesitant to suggest it, but if it saves the bike from the grave it might be worth trying a coolant stop leak product. I would normally recommend it as it isn't really a fix and can cause issues too, but if you're going to scrap the bike anyway it might be worth a try.

    2013 Roadster No Starty!

    If you hold a little bit of throttle on will the bike stay running?

    Introducing myself.

    Welcome, love the matte black Roadsters BTW, it's my favorite but I might be bias as I own one too. As for tips and recommendations, don't get too stressed, there aren't any miracle maintenance secrets that will make it last forever. Follow the manufactures guidelines and don't keep yourself...

    idle issue

    The more we know the less we have to guess, and people will guess (it cost them nothing). What does not idling mean? Is it otherwise fine power wise?
