    2007 Rocket 3 Motor Trike conversion

    Thank your reply. How hard was the conversion? Could someone with limited welding experience accomplish this. I've been working on what is now considered old cars and motorcycles for 57 years. I've restored a 1970 Triumph Bonneville, 1974 Trident and I'm restoring a 1972 Ford Maverick. Does...

    2007 Rocket 3 Motor Trike conversion

    I been checking into making my Rocket into a trike. The old lady isn't getting any lighter and I'm not getting any younger. Motor Trike told me that they built their first conversion kit in 2008 and can't say that it will fit a 2007. Does anyone know if there is a difference in the frames...

    intermittent fuel issues

    That was an inexpensive fix. Glad you got it sorted. My other two bikes are a 1970 Bonneville and a 1974 Trident. The Bonneville is my favorite. Not fast but stone ax simple to work on!

    2007 Rocket 3 Classic

    Sounds like dirty fuel injectors. The fuel injectors are designed to spray the gas as a fine mist and dirty ones spit the gas instead making the engine run rich as it warms up. I poured a whole bottle of Lucas fuel system cleaner in a tank of gas

    intermittent fuel issues

    Clean the fuel system including the injectors. I poured a bottle of Lucas fuel system cleaner into to a tank of gas and ran that until the gas light came on. Also check the battery voltage with the engine running. Should be 13.8 to 14 volts. Computers can do stranger things when they don't...

    2007 Rocket 3 Classic

    I had a idle problem away back and resolved it by pouring a whole bottle of Lucas fuel system cleaner in a tank of gas. Eight bucks for 5.6 oz of stuff seemed expensive but it worked for me. Add the elixir take your bike for a short ride and let the bike sit for a day or two.

    2007 Rocket 3 Classic

    Nope. Figured if the ECM got a input from O2 sensor the bike would run to lean. No engine light so ECM is not missing the O2 sensor? No after market O2 gizmo. I read somewhere that a missing O2 sensor will make the fuel mixture rich. Maybe the mods I made have corrected the fuel mixture...

    2007 Rocket 3 Classic

    My 2007 Rocket 3 developed a issue with the Power Commander 3 that was installed and tuned 12 years ago. Intermittently the bike would stall and run rich. I disconnected the CP 3 and reconnected the wiring harness but forgot to reconnect the O2 sensor. My bike has a K&N air filter, cat...

    Raask 3 into two exhaust

    I'll let you know where I go and the results. I recently had a Avon Cobra 140/75R 17 front tire installed on my Rocket and the bike handles soooo much better. Doesn't feel as heavy during slow maneuvers as it did before.

    Raask 3 into two exhaust

    The engine was originally tuned by a shop in Baltimore, Md where I lived before moving to Florida. There is Ducati Dealer in Ocala called Melillimoto that has a bike dyno and another place called Gurued Gear in Inverness that also has a dyno. I was thinking of taking it to the Ducati dealer...

    Raask 3 into two exhaust

    Thank you for your input. I'll have the engine retuned.

    Raask 3 into two exhaust

    Here is the whole story. I added a Dynojet Power Commander 3 USB and the engine was dyno tuned using the stock mufflers,air filter and the cat removed. With a fuel air ratio of 13:1, do you think I should have the engine retuned if I keep the stock air filter? The Raask exhaust is a three into...

    Raask 3 into two exhaust

    Sorry! The filter is a K&N TB-2204 gause reusable filter.

    Raask 3 into two exhaust

    I was going to keep the stock air filter with the hope of not needing to have the engine retuned. I have a K&N filter to install but was concerned that the engine would run to lean with the K&N filter. What do you think??

    Raask 3 into two exhaust

    When I bought my 2007 R3 Classic I also purchased a Dynojet tuner to remedy the exhaust popping when decelerating. With running a 13 to 1 fuel ratio the engine made 123.58 hp and 132.99 maximum torque with stock air filter and mufflers. Now that I installed the 3 into 2 exhaust is it...
