  1. Front tire sorrows….

    Hi Folks, Couple of questions; 1. I have a 2008 Rocket III (purchased in April), it has 7k miles on it. I just got back from a 2k mile ride and the front tire is bald with threads showing through! It is the original tire with just the 7k miles on it. Any idea what would cause this? Doesn't...

  2. Best tune for K&N's, Sec's Removed, No Cat and Stock Pipes

    Hi Folks, I'm getting ready to go on a long ride in a couple of weeks (a week or so on the road with several hundred miles a day). Right now I have Jardine's and all the above mods, but I'm thinking about swapping back to stock pipes with the bypass to get the noise level down a bit for the...

  3. Jards and Stock Filter - 2008 R3

    Gave this a try today, popping again on decel. The other tune I tried seemed to give more power but then the bad gas milage. Please let me know when you get your PCIII back and I'll book my bike in and get it on a dyno. Thanks! Mark

    Thanks! I'll give this a try. Mark

    Thanks for this, I didn't know about the guy in Mesa (and as you say, looks like ECS is no longer there). I see on the AZ RAT Pack forum though that the new place that has set up (DP Motorcycles I think it is called) has a dynojet dyno and they use PCIII so I'm going to give them a call later...

    Ok, thanks. There are a couple of dealers here in town with Dynojet dyno's so how do I go about renting your PCIII please? Thanks, Mark

    Yep, fitted the triple K&N's yesterday, and I do have the Dynojet 02 bypass. This will be the setup I'm sticking with. Love the power, sound and even the extra luggage space under the seat :-) Does anyone know of a place with a dyno that knows how to use Tuneboy in Arizona? Thanks! Mark

    Hi All, So I did a 250 mile or so ride today with the new tune, the bike runs great except.... I've gone from about 35 to the gallon to less than 20 MPG! guys behind me say they can smell the bike running rich too. I expected to give up a few MPG's for the extra power but not over 40%. Just...

    Ok, thanks. Guess nothing to worry about then. I'm taking the bike for a couple of hundred mile ride tomorrow so we'll see how she runs on a long trip. I'm curious to see if the gas milage has changed any (not that I bought the bike for economy). Thanks again for all your help, Mark

    Got the K&N's on today and this tune works great so far, thanks! Quick question; does anyone have any issues with backfiring? This is not something that just started, my bikes been doing this since I bought it but it seems more noticeable now I have the K&N's on. It seems to backfire through...

    Hi Harry, Thanks for the offer with the filters, if I run in to any trouble; I'll take you up on that! I live in Tatum Ranch about 10 miuntes north of the 101 & Tatum. Are you part of the AZ Rat Pack? Do you know John Collings? It would be fun to get together and see your bike sometime...

  12. Jards and Stock Filter - 2008 R3

    Thanks! I'll give that a try today!

  13. Jards and Stock Filter - 2008 R3

    This new tune is much better, thanks! The popping has pretty much gone except for below 2k rpm where it seems to start again, but I can deal with that. Doesn't matter too much as I should be fitting the triple K&N's this weekend hopefully. Thanks again, Mark

  14. Jards and Stock Filter - 2008 R3

    Thanks, I'll give that a try tomorrow. Just to check, disabling the sensor means having the check box unchecked, correct? As I mentioned before; I'll remove it from the exhaust when the cover comes in from Dynojet. Oh, and this might sound dumb but better to ask than waste a load of time...

  15. Jards and Stock Filter - 2008 R3

    Pig9, Just took the bike out for a spin after downloading the tune, wow, what a difference! Still lots of popping on decel though. I looked at the checkbox for the 02 sensor and it is not checked (none of the 3 boxes on there are checked). Is this popping because the sensor is still in the...
