  1. Starting Problem & fix

    Hi Just thought I would pass on a problem I recently had & what the fix was :) After riding in bad weather including snow & getting covered in the crap they put on the road over easter, I came back, cleaned the bike & the next day went to start it, pulled the clutch in, lights were on...

  2. First issue, blue pee

    I had the same on my rocket, it was one of the jubilee clips on the 2 hoses that come off the radiator on the nearside... blue liqiud that I couldn't see where it was coming from but once I checked the clips one was loose. tighten it & no more blue liquid :D might be worth checking

  3. New UK Owner - Advice on running temps and noises!!!

    Yeah like Sully said it the gearbox does get better with mileage but it will still be a bit clunky, mines got 17,000 on it & it still can be a bit clunky but that is normal & it does get hot but the fans work well & at least you will never get frost bite in you toes in the winter :lol: There...

  6. Seat Release cable problems

    yeah it seem to be a bit more responsive on the throttle & the noise is better when you open it up & it starts to suck more air in :D .. still want to go down the super charger route one day.. now that is a nice sound :D

  7. Seat Release cable problems

    I had to take my seat off yesterday to fit K&N filter & the key wouldn't turn & the seat wouldn't come off :shock: After a bit of pushing, pulling & twisting it finally came off :D What I found is that the cable had popped out from it's clip holder near the lock.. it is only pushed into a...

  8. QD panniers?

    Hi Paul One option is to buy a set of Easy Brackets: http://www.newr3.com/html/easy_brackets.html or ghost brackets, then you can fix them to your Triumph Panniers or any others. I have the Easy Brackets & Saddleman Jumbo bags (the picture on newr3.com is my bike :D ) They are great...

  9. Pillion seat

    Yeah, standard captains seat with the Gel Pillion. I have got the cover for the riders seat but haven't fitted it yet as I had no bum ache problems yet but I did ride a hardtail chop for 7 years, so it might be imune now:D

  10. Pillion seat

    Hi Paul I have the Triumph Gel pillion seat with a fitted Sheep Skin cover on and my wife reckons it brilliant & didn't get any bum ache even after 16 hours of riding on a trip back from Sweden last year :shock: There is a thread about the guy who I got them off who makes them in Australia.

  14. new r3 horn question

    I have the same one that I got from NewR3.com & I had only to trim the front "trumpet opening" bit a little to get the standard cover to fit back on. It also sounds a lot better than the original :D

  15. Clutch failure (or something)

    I would take it back to the dealer or get them to collect it as it is still under warranty.. ask if they do a loaner bike as well. unless you are going to start putting a Turbo or a super charger the standard clutch is fine, i've done 11,000 miles in 7 months & no problems. I think you...
