  1. cold engine - hard start and wandering idle

    Hi Pig9r. Nah...at those temperatures my hands are buried deeply inside the front of my pants trying to warm up. I try not to touch the throttle when stabbing the ignition. Anyway, I sure appreciate all the feedback. I figured it was just normal for weather that cold. Honestly, it just...

  2. cold engine - hard start and wandering idle

    Hi all. Having a little issue. In very cold weather (like -10C), the beast is not easy to start. It won't fire on first round of crank (approx. 2 secs of turn). Second try and it pops and sputters, but doesn't usually hold. Third round does the trick. Then, for at least 60 seconds, it...

  3. my little recall story

    Like the rest of you, I got my recall notice in the mail today. I called the dealer in Denver (closest one...about an hour away) and asked if the new tunes from tuneboy were going to do the same thing as what they were going to do. He didn't have a clue. Also went on about adjusting the...

  4. Dropping out of 1st into neutral.

    Never had it jump out of gear when moving. I have had it jump out of first (very rarely) when I haven't pushed down hard enough...and then it jumps out when I start letting the clutch out. Again, only rarely. And only when I haven't really engaged it. Beemer I had used to do the same thing...

  5. Tired of searching...can someone please help???

  6. I'm almost ready to take the plunge

    Update. So yesterday was a huge day. I am all Triumph now. In my garage now sits my S3, and a brand spankin new R3. I never thought I would ever own a cruiser...ever...especially one as heavy as this one...but there she sits, my new baby! What a smooth drive. All the power I could ask for...

  7. I'm almost ready to take the plunge

    Hallo all. I am the current owner of a 2004 R1150R and a wonderful Speed Triple. I am seriously considering the R3 because I want to make some long trips, and the R is just a little uncomfortable (it's not the seat...it's the general position on the bike)...plus I think I'm ready for something...
