    Ixil

    I fitted the Ixil on my "R" and I confirm that there is no catalyst and so much the better...The exhaust comes with two kinds of removable cups intended to reduce the sound...I tried them but did not fit them because it is really not very effective

    Succion when opening gaz tank...

    I had the same problem as you after changing my air filter to install a DNA... pinched air intake pipe and, in addition, assembly of the small valve which is installed in the pipe backwards (factory...). On the other hand, I don't see the problem with the direction in which we put the tank cap...

    Front tire removal.

    In France we have a proverb that says: "if you brake you're a coward, but if you don't brake you're an idiot..."

    DNA or OEM Air Filter?

    All my bikes have reusable air filters...objectively, it doesn't seem to make much difference compared to the original, contrary to what the sellers claim. The good thing is that it saves me from wasting money at dealerships... A little dish soap and specific oil (and even then, not on all of...

    Front tire removal.

    I absolutely disagree with you...if you leave the calipers in place it's a real pain to reassemble the wheel while aiming to slide the discs between the pads...unscrewing the calipers is much simpler and faster.

    Front tire removal.

    The brake calipers absolutely must be removed otherwise you will not be able to remove the wheel. For the axle it is a 19 mm male BTR and it must be tightened to 65 Nm. I just did it...

    Asymmetrical front tire wear

    I conclude that the steering is not centered simply by noticing the asymmetrical wear of the tire... Add the engine's overturning torque to this difference and the explanation for this wear seems obvious to me. Afterwards it is very possible that the wheels are aligned in the longitudinal plane...

    Asymmetrical front tire wear

    The offset I measured is between the bottom of the fork and the disc collar. Take a good look at your bike and you'll see, without measuring, that the left side is larger than the right side. You can also see this offset by looking at the front mudguard.

    Asymmetrical front tire wear

    Yes, on most motorcycles except that here the spacers are the same length so you can't get them wrong...

    Asymmetrical front tire wear

    Well, after removing the front wheel, here are the results: - The guy who tightened the front wheel axle didn't apply the correct torque (65 Nm). It took me 10 minutes to loosen it... - The two spacers are identical (25 mm each) - The original wheel is probably the cause because, on the ABS...

    Asymmetrical front tire wear

    Yes, I also saw that the two spacers were identical on the original parts list and I will do it soon because, as the front tire has exceeded the wear mark on the right :mad:...I will have to change it!

    Asymmetrical front tire wear

    Given that the bike comes from the Triumph dealership, did they fit the wrong part or make a mistake during assembly then !

    Asymmetrical front tire wear

    You are absolutely right and, even if this explanation seems logical to me, if the other Rockets apparently do not have this problem it is because my bike has another problem... I just went to measure the gap between the disc hoop and the fork bottoms and there is a 5mm offset between the left...

    Asymmetrical front tire wear

    ok so, Since I have never had this wear on any of my other motorcycles (Harley, Ducati, Speed Triple etc.), I will favor the explanation provided by users of another forum: "this asymmetrical wear is well known to owners of old or new Rocket versions, it is due to the longitudinal engine...

    Asymmetrical front tire wear

    Thanks atomsplitter for your feedback. Indeed, you can find this system on Amazon except that they almost never deliver to my lost island... In addition, I went to see different tests of this system and it seems very controversial, especially for motorcycle tires... I think I'll stick with...
