    Succion when opening gaz tank...

    I hadn't heard that before now. I always lay it on the seat (hard to forget), but upside down. That doesn't mean it hasn't caused a problem on other bikes, or that mine won't develop an issue. I'll keep it in mind

    2012 R3R-Engine Knocking/Ping around 2000 RPM

    Something quick and easy to check. The small coil wires get loose. You have to routinely crimp them down for a good solid tight connection. #1 is a bit$h to get too, but you could check the other two. Even if this isn't your issue, but they are loose, you'll likely notice better performance down...

    R vs GT

    Get the Penner tune and you'll be even more amazed at the power of this bike. Congrats on your future purchase.

    2.5 using oil

    I like the part where the dealer says "I will continue to ride the [your] bike...." Have fun..... :)

    Succion when opening gaz tank...

    My guess is that the vent hose is pinched. It runs down the right side of the tank near the front. Look in the Resources heading at the top of the page for the service manual. If you've had a 10, 20, 30, etc. mile service then the tank was lifted and the hose may have been pinched on...

    2012 R3R-Engine Knocking/Ping around 2000 RPM

    The TPS is always a suspect. You might want to read this post I made years ago concerning my '11 Roadster. Spoiler alert- cracked vacuum caps- a cracked hose if you have the original air system would do the same..... https://www.r3owners.net/threads/knock-knock.45684/post-734874

    Center Stand (really) and Olin Forks for the 2.5s

    Someone asked on Fb and the guys said... "for the fully adjustable Ohlins forks mounted on our billet lower feet and all necessary components about 3.900 euro."

    Center Stand (really) and Olin Forks for the 2.5s

    I saw this on FB. Can't afford the forks and a center stand seems silly for this bike (would affect clearance), but here ya go.... Here's their website, but neither is featured yet- maybe later this month. https://www.xrayproject.com/ If you join the FB group you can see the post...

    Exhaust clamp torque specs?

    "Goudentite" Seriously, I remember trying to use the torque spec on my Roadster and ended up breaking the bolt. This may be one of those rare cases where I'd go by feel. I'd recommend using some exhaust gasket seal though.

    2018 Roadster Rear brake issues

    If the brake fluid doesn't do it with a good bleed, your master cylinder might need a rebuild. Just to include the third variable- fluid, hose, MC

    Stalling Issues on 2025 Rocket 3R

    I don't blip the throttle, but like to downshift. Mine stalls on steep downhills with engine braking for some reason.

    R vs GT

    That's what I did- the backrest and a screen. I also got a Madstat screen for winter (ugly, but better than freezing) and use the adjustable angle brackets for that all year round. Also added heated grips. I think the "R" is in your future. In any event, there is no other bike quite like it. Enjoy!

    R vs GT

    Over 50? Time for a trike, don't you think, Grandpa? Seriously, trying both is the only real answer for you. For what it's worth, I'm 65 and just 5'6" on a good day. It's super twisty in western NC where I live, so the R is the only one I considered. I have a big ape index (long arms), so I...

    Asymmetrical front tire wear

    I have no idea, but figure Triumph did it for good reason and therefore probably not, in my opinion, the cause of uneven tire wear. You were asking about the offset and I guess we thought you hadn't noticed the wheel is not centered between the forks. As far as the uneven tire wear I believe...
