    2015 R3R Main Harness replacement

    Oh, I know. It could have been SO simple. From now on, it's Triumph dealer for repairs, PERIOD. WELL, unless I do this harness and learn a bit. Then, maybe I'll try more. LOL

    2015 R3R Main Harness replacement

    I hauled the bike around with me on my semi and it got exposed to road grime and salt WAY more than is healthy. One day it wouldn't start, the next it started fine, the next, no start and no fuel pump whine.... I hauled it to this local shop and they started digging.... cut a few wires to 'test...

    2015 R3R Main Harness replacement

    A local shop, which I will not name, in the interest of diagnosis, cut the living hell out of my main harness. I took it to a local Triumph dealer, who said I need a new main harness just to diagnose why the bike is dead electronically. We're assuming it's the ECM(ECU, whatever). Am I taking on...

    **SOLD** DEcosse Solid State Keyless Ignition w/ Immobilizer and extended harness $200

    @EM549 I didn't mean for my post to be an attack or any kind of insult or anything along those lines. If it came across that way, I apologize. I've PM'd you and I'm interested. I'll pay the $200 and take the risk that it will or won't work with my Sena. I'm in Houston for work, so get with me...

    **SOLD** DEcosse Solid State Keyless Ignition w/ Immobilizer and extended harness $200

    Well this has opened a can of worms... I use the Sena10R and am looking at putting a wireless start on Mor'Du. I was convinced I wanted the @DEcosse until I saw this post. NOW I'm not SURE. One out of hundreds isn't an indication of a real problem, but I'd LOVE to hear more input, and more...

    Houston we have a 2.5l Rocket! And not from NASA

    Hope it's still there, or another one, when I come in early Feb to pick my baby up from the shop.

    What did you do to your Rocket today?

    I called British USA/Gulf Coast BMW in Houston to check on the rebuild of my wrecked baby. Parts are ordered from the UK and I should be on the road by my birthday!

    UPDATE: British USA/Gulf Coast BMW worked with my insurance and the bike is not a total loss. They're rebuilding her as we speak!

    The exhaust did not impact the ground, but the engine guard impacted the #2 pipe, so they'll be buying a new Reband. Considering the softness of what I hit, and the fact that the engine guard folded over while still not letting my leg get crushed, I'll never ride without one.

    A few have said damage might be worse than I hope. I feel very strongly the final drive broke before the accident, and contributed to it. I have yet to start dealing with things so I know nothing for now.

    Even more fortuitous, as there were several sign posts in my path and somehow I missed them all. Typical arrow signs in a curve.

    Too high a speed, under-estimated the curve, and off the outside I went, about 200m in muddy grass before I finally lost her. I'm bruised, sore, but alive with nothing major harmed other than my pride, and my baby.
