    Rocket Sighting

    I can probably count on one hand the times I've seen another Rocket in the wild, other than our organized rides. Today, the owner of this immaculate 2013 Touring was also passing through Jonesborough, TN. The owner and his brother stopped by to say hi as I was gearing up to leave and he kept...

    Any Distinguished Gentlemen here?

    It's the only group ride I've done and love it. I originally did it on my '98 Thunderbird Sport, which I sold. We're lucky in that the Asheville, NC ride is very forgiving of modern bikes. Classics lead the way and we fall behind. Great event and great cause. If you're not familiar with it you...

    Mushy Front Brake Syndrome - I may be on to something...

    I hope you're right. You listed different diameters. Maybe if one of those bikes that the kit goes to matches the bikes using the same calipers as the Rocket it might be more likely to be the right size. Here's the chart of matching calipers... If you get a rebuild kit and it fits I, for one...

    Mushy Front Brake Syndrome - I may be on to something...

    Close, but I think not quite the same. It's hard to be 100% sure though. One thing is the notch on the left end. If you give it a shot and can confirm that would be golden. I'd buy now....

    Mushy Front Brake Syndrome - I may be on to something...

    That clutch MC was taken apart about 25K miles ago, but here is the photo. I tried what you're doing (but please don't stop) and couldn't find a piston that looked the same....

    Help, please! Engine overheating 🥵

    No, nothing dramatic like that. Maybe once it cooled down and bounced around on the trailer it burped like patting a baby on its back. 🤷🏼‍♂️ Earlier, I let it idle till the fans kicked on, and more, and it stayed in range. Just got back from about a 20 mile ride and also kept in range. I'm...

    Mushy Front Brake Syndrome - I may be on to something...

    I've put quite a bit of time into it, including contacting Brembo. The calipers are used on other bikes, but the MC is different and supposedly the internals. Now their is an "upgraded" MC you can get for even more money. I just want the darn piston and seals kit. You can find out more from an...

    Help, please! Engine overheating 🥵

    Yeah, I'm leaning away from the PWM Controller. The code indicated the Coolant Temperature Sensor, but wondering if that just means it did its job indicating a problem, or if the sensor itself is bad. My hunch though goes back to air in the system. Wondering if the overflow tank were too low...

    Help, please! Engine overheating 🥵

    Thanks- I'll order it today. So, did you think the bike was actually overheating, or the sensor was just goofy? I couldn't be sure on mine. The red level reading was pegged and didn't change after 15 minutes of sitting on the side of the road and the radiator cap (under the decorative cover)...

    Help, please! Engine overheating 🥵

    All good ideas, but I was just 2 miles from home, so not a situation on a hot day or long idle. The fan came on when I got it back home and reset the code. I could have under-filled the radiator overflow when doing the 40k service. I don't think I have a leak (time will tell). Sounding most...

    Help, please! Engine overheating 🥵

    I don't- sorry. Seems like there would be an expiration date on it somewhere. I would think it would be good for a long long time. 🤷🏼‍♂️

    Mushy Front Brake Syndrome - I may be on to something...

    Had one of those random 2 a.m. ideas. I've had somewhat soft front brakes for some time. What if I strapped down the front brake lever overnight and then, before releasing it, I bled the MC? First of all, in my experience the whole idea of strapping the brake lever overnight is complete BS. It...

    Help, please! Engine overheating 🥵

    No, and I feel extremely confident that has nothing to do with it. I've been running Zerex G05 for over 20,000 miles. This first happened many many miles ago (10-15K) and just came up again for the first time since then. Update- TuneEcu shows the P0117 Coolant Temperature Sensor code. I cleared...

    Help, please! Engine overheating 🥵

    Which module? I think you answered this in another post. Temperature sensor, I believe. Mine overheated a long time ago- once, and then has been fine since.... until today. I'm waiting on the Android to power up so I can check codes. Yesterday I changed oil and topped up the coolant...
