    Rear Brake

    I realize that not all motorcycles do this... but where do you live, and how do you ride? I think the operating temperature and your riding style influence the DOT fluid temperature. From my perspective, the linked braking system is also a factor...

    Rear Brake

    It’s a perennial issue with Triumphs—especially the new 2.5L Rockets—likely due to the linked front/rear braking system and the placement of the ABS unit right above the engine. It heats up the brake fluid—gets it really hot—causing air bubbles and making the rear brake act up! You have to use...

    Corbin Fairing on R3 GT How do you like it ?

    Might as well buy a Street Glide...

    Used Ai to tune my suspension. Results were pretty impressive

    @Ezayakyala : Thanks for sharing your settings, but I need a bit more detail... when you talk about "starting from zero," how do you establish that zero point? Screw fully closed or fully open? The Triumph documentation is pretty vague on this...

    Vinyl Wrap?

    There’s no accounting for taste... or is there?

    Tried HD Breakout and it reminded me of my Rocket 3 GT

    The new Harleys with their air/liquid-cooled engines are highly refined machines—and they get even better with Stage 2, 3, or 4 upgrades! Even the brakes are effective now (which was certainly needed). As for me, my next bike will likely be a Road Glide ST (provided my banker—or rather, my...

    Dash board out of order or ?

    Come on, Stingray, have you lost your mind? You know perfectly well that: 1/ the dealer is always right 2/ if the dealer is wrong, the manufacturer is always right 3/ the motorcycle owner is always wrong—especially when it calls the engineers into question...

    MightyMouse, I completely agree with you, and the response I got from the Triumph manager just confirms my view: "We know about the problem (read: our engineers messed up on this one...), but we couldn't care less because it doesn't bother you *that* much—plus, it keeps you coming back to the...

    Just so you know—even though it’s not the original topic—the technical manager from Triumph France was visiting the island last week. When asked about the rear brake—which constantly needs bleeding to work properly—his reply was: "We are aware of it; for now, there’s nothing to be done other...

    Sure, it's available online, but on my remote island, any component is hard to come by and expensive... living in the tropics isn't all perks! :p

    I kept it—I always keep the parts I replace—and in this particular case, there are plenty of special connectors and cables that might come in handy again!

    It’s done—the wiring harness has been replaced (over 8 hours of work for the mechanic... and over €2,000 for me :confused:), but the bike is running properly again...

    yes, It may seem incredible—though true on many levels—but life is becoming increasingly difficult on this little rock... too many people, too many vehicles, constant traffic jams, and skyrocketing prices; so, I’m going to head back to Europe within the next two years. Commentaires...

    "can you save the broken wiring harness for community and bring it with you ?" That might be complicated—have you seen where I live? :D
