  1. wish i'd held off on buying mine

    Good price. Only 10K miles in 6 years. What a waste of a good bike.
  2. O2 sensor disable

    Thanks for the info. I already removed the secondaries a while ago and have PC3. This is probably covered somewhere but I can't locate the new values for the speedo, rev and speed limiter on the site. Could you steer me there? Thanks again.
  3. O2 sensor disable

    Can the O2 sensor be disabled with TuneECU on an '05 Rocket? I haven't plugged into the Rocket yet but I had real good luck on my Thruxton with a new map and disabling the O2 sensor.
  4. Driver download

    Thanks Tripp, that'll do it.
  5. Driver download

    I'm having problems setting up the cable driver. I've been reading so many instuctions my eyes hurt. Big question - All the intructions I read say to select "download" on the driver website. I cannot find the word "download" anywhere on the page. What on the page do I select to download the...
  6. cheap rockets

    The market is really down on bikes right now. On top of that the Rocket is a white elephant. We, who bought and rode these bikes, are of a few. A dealer near me has had a decked out 06 with 13k miles at $9700 on Craigslist for almost a year...
  7. Rear Pad Wear

    I'd be checking for problems if I only get 2500 miles out of a set of pads (sticking caliper, brake linkage adjustment, etc.) I don't consider myself a laid back rider at all and I've had bikes that I've never had to replace the rear pads. 25K on a Road King, 35K on a Royal Star, and at present...
  8. Gas prices suck!!!!

    Today at cut rate place - $3.89 reg, $4.05 super. Bought a Thruxton yesterday.
  9. Hi Mileage Rockets

    Good post on the over 100k bikes. With the low compression and high torque this engine should last a good while. I have 2 other bikes, but have 41k on my Rocket. Clutch broke at 3k and the idle solenoid crapped out, but other than that smooth sailing. ;)
  10. Beautiful day

    Gotcha covered. Low 70s with slight overcast today. Shop shutdown for 2 weeks for Christmas. Yee-Hah !
  11. need some input

    Keep in mind also that you may read of what looks like a lot of problems with the bike, but then there are many like myself that have had no problems in 42K miles on my 2005.:D
  12. need some input

    Plenty of info you need on this site. I don't know your location, but you might want to do a little more shopping before you buy. Some dealers have left over new Rockets for the price of the one you're looking at. Out here in SoCal, Craigslist has had 2, 2008s for under 9K, both with under 10K...
  13. 'Da Baby

    Great score on the bike. The black engine is a good balance with paint. IMHO - No more bling needed for that bike. PS - Register and insure now. I have the feeling you won't be able to wait for warm weather to ride that beauty.
  14. Summer Gloves

    We call them trucker gloves. Light tan, small strap on the back, soft pig skin. $6. :D
  15. See Ya....

    Good bye bro. Thanks for all the help and info you've shared through the years. Good luck.
