  1. Anyone else using Rotella 5w 40?

    These posts are a few years old. Picking up a gallon jug of T6 Rotella 5 W 40 oil, I now read on the back label that it is JASO MA-2 approved. I see no problem at all using this oil in either my 2007 Bonneville T100 or my 2008 Rocket III Classic, once I finish up using what Mobil 4T 10 W...

  2. Newbie Exhaust Questions..

    Hey Canberra.... On my 2008 Rocket Classic, I have the TORs exhaust that I had installed by the dealer that I purchased it from, I got the bike with 5,100 miles on it last month. These off road exhausts were to give me about 5 extra H.P according to my dealer with a fairly substanial...

  3. Dropping your Rocket?

    well i hate to say it.... I bought my Rocket III Classic (used 2008 with 5,100 miles) June 13, 2012 from Farmers Branch, Texas (suburb of Dallas) off of RPM Cycle. Very nice bike I might add, looked like brand new. Anway, I'm from Illinois and rode the Amtrak alll the way from central IL to...

  4. R3 as a first Bike ?

    To Canberra R3 hahahaha I love your quote because it's THE TRUTH "I've never seen a situation so miserable that it can't be made worse by the presence of a police officer." Brendan Behan

  5. R3 as a first Bike ?

    I agree I totally agree Ray, that it is all about confidence. Practice and patience both pay off into building confidence. By now, I'm pretty much confident into riding my Rocket anywhere. I love the off road silencers (mufflers) that I had RPM Cycle install on my bike before I purchased...

  6. R3 as a first Bike ?

    my opinion I just bought a used 2008 Rocket III Classic out of Dallas, TX on June 13th this year. Although I do currently own a 2007 Bonneville T100 that I purchased new, this Rocket III is more difficult to ride. By that let me explain. Once you get the Rocket out on the interstate or major...

  7. oil filter

    Bosch Filter Both Advanced Auto and Auto Zone carry the Bosch 3300 filter and it will fit the Rocket III and the Bonneville T100 too. Very good filter for around $6.00

  9. I'm so old.......

    I'm smiling...... You Aussie dudes have me smiling and laughing - great sense of humor!! I was at the "Springfield Mile" just this May 27th and watched the Memorial Day National Championships dirt track races on Springfield's famed mile oval. There was a guy by the name of Luke Gough from...

  10. I'm so old.......

    Very Neat Guys... Hi Triumph friends!!!! Thank you so much for the warm welcomes and such quick response. It makes me happy that I am in the company of such friendly guys with a cool item in common - the mighty Triumph Rocket III. I've had offers of on my way back home to stay with some of...

  11. I'm so old.......

    I hope this is the right thread, that is, the "introduce yourself" thread. The way I logged on confused me a little. I'm Ryeboy, first name is Ryan and am 63 years old. I currently own a 2007 black and white Triumph Bonneville T100 (love it) and an older 1974 750c.c. Triumph Trident that is...

  12. clutch slipping?

    bigbellyracing To bigbelly, I'm trying to find out myself about the question of oil. Trying to find the recommended oil by Triumph, Castrol 10 W 50 or even Lucas 10 W 50, both JASO MA2 approved, is almost impossible at any of the farm stores, auto stores or motorcycle stores close to me...

  13. Lucas oil

    Is Lucas 20 W 50 motorcycle JASO MA2 oil too heavy for my 2008 Rocket? I cannot find Lucas 10 W 50 at any stores close to where I live. I've even considered using a blend of 3 quarts of Mobil 4t 10 W 40 and 3 quarts of Mobil motorcyle 20 W 50 oil for my 2008 Rocket from which I have just...
