    Another Rad/cap/boiling issue...

    I'm in the UK and she sits in a heated garage when not in use so less of a risk where I am :-)

    Another Rad/cap/boiling issue...

    Thanks - yes did that one when I replaced the RAD.

    Another Rad/cap/boiling issue...

    Aha, I usually fill it to the top. Its only ever dropped to 'low' so maybe I'm trying to fix a problem that isn't actually there and its user error? Some other suggestions are coming in so maybe I'll hang fire on the flush, drop the level (or just not fill it up again) and wait to see if it...

    Another Rad/cap/boiling issue...

    Thanks - the radiator was effectively reconditioned recently and all looks clean. The fan stops as soon as I turn off the ignition though?.

    Another Rad/cap/boiling issue...

    Hi all - I've already read a lot of threads on here but mine is a little more specific and would like to get the benefit of the collective opinion. I have a 2010 Rocket Tourer and it has had occasional issues with the cooling system i.e. the cap went and it had a stone hole in the RAD. It also...

    Radiator Cap Alternative

    Actually there is a non return valve that opens when the pressure drops

    Another 'Oil' thread but with a question!

    Thanks for this. Interestingly, I had the same problem (all the time though) when I first bought the bike (as well as the 'can never find neutral' issue). Thought it was a gear box failure so I had a local Triumph dealer check the detent spring (which was fine, no 'faults' found anywhere) and...

    Cheers. They *should* be aware as they are a Triumph dealership but I will call them.

    Thanks. Ironically I’d hoped it was normal. (Sigh).

    Another 'Oil' thread but with a question!

    This isn't directly related to 'what oil should I use in my.....' etc. I am wondering if I have a common problem on my bike. I have a 2010 Tourer. Most of the time its OK but when the weather is really hot and I take it out for a run its like as if the oil has been turned to water. The engines...

    Transmission "clunk".

    I’ve probably featured on a number of these threads! I put risers and a new clutch cable on mine and had lots of trouble and thought the detent had gone. I thought I’d done all the right adjustments in accordance with the manual. Same symptoms, clunky, jumping out of first etc. Got the detent...

    Luggage rack and backrest

    I've now managed to purchase a genuinbe luggae rack to fit these sissy bars. I've also purchased a HD Top box it did not come with a mounting kit and if I mount it on the existing luggage rack it is a long way back and the lids on the panniers foul so I need to raise it as well as find a way to...

    Lifts and jacks etc

    Thanks but thats the entire lift (which does look good btw). I've already ordered a scissor lift as I have a number of bikes and I wanted something a little more 'universal' but the weight of the Rocket makes me nervous about applying all the weight on the sump which I think is currently the...
