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

    I have a lot a practice to do, and a few bits to fit & setup on bike like traction control, shift light and quickshifter. But first I need to get the maps dialled in and to a dyno for finalisation.

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

    So I got a few hours to go at it and got the back brake online again. Might need caliper rebuild. But anyway got out for a pull for the first time since October I think? This is a clip of 33% throttle and up to 6000rpm. I can't wait to go 100% and 9000rpm! Other somewhat positive news is...

    Replaced primary TPS? It is a 2007..

    2.5L Rocket Stroker Engine Kit with 6 Speed Transmission (R&D)

    Simple answer, no. I could be here all day outlining reasons why not, but in summary they are two completely different engines. One might as well be asking if the crank from a BMW i8 will fit. Good news is you should indeed be able turn your 2004 from a 2.3L into a 2.6 or 2.7L maybe. You would...

    Starter Motor

    The yellow circle is where the starter motor hole is, and the red circle is where the flywheel/starter gear is. When the check valve under the oil tank en route to the sump scavenge pump isn't the most checky, oil can seep through it over time, and fill the sump with bulk oil. As the sump oil...

    Starter Motor

    Yeah the bulk of the oil is generally held in the tank but if sat for a while it will drain down into the sump. Which is probably what happened you. E.g. if you checked the oil level before you pulled the starter, the dip stick probably would have been dry. Run the bike for a minute, leave it...

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

    As in with the only map editors available to us that I know of for these ECUs being TuneECU and TuneBoy (Triumph factory one notwithstanding), one can't access the injector flow rate variable to edit it. Or fuel pressure for that matter. You can change AFR target and quantity of air in mg x20...

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

    Got a few minutes free time and it was dry! Good to be back. Man is the bike a monster compared to the runaround commuter (Hayabusa) Coolant leak appears sorted - need some more heat cycles to be sure. Back brake has gone limp, going to need some work but then it's all in order once again and...

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

    When I put the 2.5 Bar BMW MAP sensor on, was worried it wouldn't work and if it did then the mapping would be trash because the granularity was significantly reduced in that before you had a map table of x amount of cells covering 1 bar and now you have the same amount of cells to cover 2.5...

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

    This monster has been parked up for months now. Dusting it off a little. Fixed a coolant leak (I hope), updated its motor tax and pumped tyres they were half flat. Might get a brief spin in to check leak is fixed tomorrow.

    Gear position sensor 2014 roadster

    Wonder did the wires to the GPS socket get damaged when reinstalling engine into frame? Timing seems suspicious. Otherwise I would be strongly suspecting good ol Triumph wiring where there is some dry rotted crimped joint buried in the harness somewhere.

    Gear position sensor 2014 roadster

    Sorry I see you'd posted that already. I had the page open in the browser all day and only replied late in day. So missed the posts made since page loaded. Didn't mean to be an echo

    Gear position sensor 2014 roadster

    I would have guessed that the gear position shaft (connects selector drum to the GPS) wasn't connected in right upon reassembly of the trans etc but you have said that you've turned it manually and not got any response on the LCD display? I only have one 4-wire sensor to hand here and that's on...
