    Ramair + crankcase pressure = blown cam cover gasket?!

    Ramair + crankcase pressure = blown cam cover gasket?!

    I'm getting ready to replace the cam cover gasket on my 2013 R3R (same oil leak issue at the front right that many of you have mentioned). I have a service manual and new gasket and bolt seals. The service manual also mentions replacing the spark plug tower seal, but when I attempt to find a...

    Finally!

    Hello alpental, I have a 2013 R3R, and the slight oil leak I'm experiencing is just as you describe. Oil appears to be seeping out around the cam cover gasket at the front corner on the exhaust side of the engine. I'm tempted to replace the gasket myself. I have a shop manual and have done light...

    Buying paint

    My 2013 R3R has the red racing stripes. I've been thinking of painting my bearclaw (or having it painted) to match. I've attempted to find out exactly what paint color those stripes are, without success to this point. Any advice/suggestions?

    Bearclaw Question

    I just ordered a front airbox bracket for the underside of the tank, and I think that should solve the riddle. Thanks all for your input!

    Bearclaw Question

    This is what made me think a bracket is missing. The back one is in place and fits perfectly. The screw hole on the front end of the tank seems to be missing a bracket that would align with the bracket placement on the bearclaw. I'm not even sure how to identify it for purposes of attempting to...

    Bearclaw Question

    I have a new-to-me 2013 R3R that I recently purchased without the bearclaw. I ordered an OEM replacement bearclaw, and the front mounting bracket on the bearclaw doesn't match up to screw hole placement on the front underside of the tank. I wonder if my bike could be missing a front mounting...

    I love your part of the world! I was in Nova Scotia and PEI three summers ago on the bike and went back the next summer with my wife. So beautiful!

    Greetings from NC USA. I'm new to the forum but not to the bike. My first R3 was a 2006 Classic. I went from there to a 2014 Touring model, thinking it would be my distance bike. That was, for me, a mistake. The adventure and sport-touring bikes are what I like for the long road, so I've been...
