    New owner of an 05 roadster w/ turbo

    Well after a trip to a tuning shop, it looks like they identified my issues. Turns out the power commander 5 the previous owner installed wasn't installed correctly (Had 1 wire hooked up wrong), but the bigger issue was it was located in the right side panel where it got too hot. So the bike...

    R3 Touring ran fine now it won't start

    I'm usually guilty of finding someone with similar symptoms in a forum post and trying the fix that worked for them, so I constantly have to remind myself to start simple. Best luck to you for a quick & cheap fix.

    R3 Touring ran fine now it won't start

    Hey @joel, Just tossing this out there since I'm working through a similar issue now on my 96 Vmax (So here's my two generic non-rocket specific quick thoughts). It never hurts to start with the simplest potential issues first, just so you can rule them out and move on. I'm new to the rockets...

    Great looking bike. I'm looking to change my stock bars over to a similar set up (I've got mini-apes on my Vmax and I love them, but your risers look way better). Any links to parts that you could share if you ordered anything online? Looks like custom length cables need to be made to fit the...

    Here’s a few shots of how the turbo is hooked up. Also discovered there’s A power commander V, fuel infection module, and auto tune. Hopefully I’ll know more after it goes into the tunning shop about why the auto tune isn’t autotunning.

    That's a big help. I'll try a start in neutral with the clutch out and maybe that can help me drop off one issue. Thanks again!

    @TURBO200R4 would a bad/shorted clutch switch be a possible cause for the intermittent engine shutoffs (When it's warm, maybe or maybe not related to heat)? Or is that a common cause of CEL on?

    Quick update on my gremlins I've been working through since everybody's been helpful here, and I'm sure there's plenty more knowledge I can soak up since some of you may have experienced the same things. I bought this turbo rocket used in CA from somewhere around sea level. I live up in the...

    Tucked right under the exhaust. Can’t even notice it unless you get low under the bike. Definitely noticeable when the throttle twists or you let off and hear the blow off though! Thanks!

    Much appreciated! I’ve definitely got some reading to do, but glad to know there’s some hope on the fan. Thanks again

    New owner of an 05 roadster w/ turbo

    Hey everybody, Just picked up a used 05 rocket III roadster this weekend with 15k miles and a turbo installed by the previous owner. This is the 7th bike I’ve owned (currently also own a 96 Vmax), but this is definitely my favorite. I’m working through a couple gremlins that the bike came...
