    Transmission questions

    Get thee hence to Robinson Industries in New York, and don't forget the circlip mod and billet 4th

    Transmission questions

    Back cut is where the dogs and windows (male and female bits that mesh together to engage a gear) have a little machined off so that their mating faces are slanted, it helps a lot for the dogs and windows to catch and pull into each other. Can you post a pic pointing to where this play is...

    Transmission questions

    Yeah 5th input that's it. Closest gear to clutch after the little 1st gear that's part of the intput shaft itself. The Belleville washers act like a spring to hold resistance against it so the gear can be engaged. This vid might help show

    Transmission questions

    Probably need to back cut the 2nd gear to stop it slipping and jumping. I can't picture which gear you're talking about but one of them has belleville washers beside it to stop it spinning freely, wonder is this the one you mean about having strong resistance to turning?

    TuneEcu Maps Explained

    You can read the volts iirc, but the stock sensor is narrow band so very limited info

    Do i need another Rocket?

    Jammy git. Are you able to tell build date? If pre March 2013 then everything will be a spare for your 2012, if later there will be differences in the ECU clocks and GPS off the top of me head

    Rocket '07 transmission

    The full Robinson works for me earlier this year was $999 delivered back across the pond a few weeks later. In terms of what you get vs the $380 or so for the standard used trans in the link, it's a no brainer really. Robinson def the way to go especially if your current trans is not broken just...

    OIL LEVEL

    Is the bike on the sidestand or upright?

    Adjusting Valves

    Before opening up the engine have you checked MAP per cylinder using TuneECU? Sounds like a vac tube might be leaking

    Anti Rattle Clips

    It's the guide for the pads, at opposite end to the guide pin. And yes that anti rattle spring that's in your caliper in the pic is the wrong way round, the triangle arrow should point in direct of rotation of the rotor through the caliper.

    electical problem

    I'd be swapping relays around to see if the problem changes, better still replace them one by one with new. Also checking condition of pins on ECU plugs, could be poor connections due to green rust etc there giving weird problems and codes

    Help taking the engine out, no idea how honestly

    The start of this video is a time lapse of what it takes in broad strokes - but actually the front wheel and fender can be left on. The manual has a step by step guide on engine removal and refit. The biggest gotcha is going to be removal of the oil pressure switch at the rear of the cylinder...

    Can a Rocket III take down the establishment, and rule this island

    Out with the old (VP Racing breakin oil, used for 75 miles) and in with the new. Went for a spin before the weather broke. All going well but I need to get back tuning to go beyond 75% throttle / 6000rpm, also also for more aggressive roll ons.

    Can a Rocket III take down the establishment, and rule this island

    With all the focus on breaking in the low compression engine I neglected to rate the Robinson Transmission that went into it. Undercut dogs, beefy circlips around 3rd & 4th output, and billet 4th gear. First few shifts were a bit stiff but after that it was perfect. Before, when shifting into...

    Can a Rocket III take down the establishment, and rule this island

    Did the engine break-in yesterday. 75 miles. Warmed it up and used lots of varying rpm but nearly always above 2000rpm. Then as soon as it was warmed, wound it on more & more. Max used was about 45% throttle and 5500rpm I think. Was running on 2 cylinders for a while, was vibrating, sounding...
