    Lining/Sealing 2015 Rocket three Fuel Tank.

    TBH that's the opinion I,m looking at.Why don't they just nickel plate tanks at point of manufacture.Its certainly annoying,especially when the original issue was something else.

    Is that a 2 part epoxy and how easy did you find applying it.Need to do something on my tank definitely,the thing is there ard so many of these sealers out there.

    Lining/Sealing 2015 Rocket three Fuel Tank.

    Hi to all, Having removed the fuel pump assembly on my X model,I was really surprised how bad the fuel tank had faired over a period of time.This was due to some work I had to do on the bike.The inside of the tank now definitely needs a good course of treatment.My question is has anyone...

    Fuel pump question 09” classic

    To be honest Frans,nothings actually broken off,it's just the previous owner or a over eager service guy has mangled the connecting rod so I have really no idea what it originally should look like.A new one is reluctantly on its way.

    Fuel pump question 09” classic

    This is a early one so again different from mine,but I guess its the same principle.Ive got a new one coming so I can re- orient the correct position of the float.And if it all tests okay then I,ll have the old one to sell.Heres hoping because there certainly quite expensive for what they are.

    Fuel pump question 09” classic

    An update,having spent the afternoon grilling a Triumph Technician armed with my Vin number I can now confirm the following.There are two sender units.Part no.T1241089 is the one I have.The other is an early one.Again talking to this guy he assured me the sender had probably failed hence being...

    Fuel pump question 09” classic

    Manual states that with a little persuasion the fuel pump assembly should come out.This was certainly not the case as myself and Earthquake can verify.And there was an update as I have read somewhere that there were two sender units manufactured under 2 seperate part no.s.It also required a...

    Fuel pump question 09” classic

    Everything seemed to be working fine,but it certainly wasn't easy to remove.Took the sender unit assembly out as I needed to change the filter.It was quite confusing as the workshop manual was showing the sender unit towards the front and this was the other way round.Confusing to say the least.

    Fuel pump question 09” classic

    The option of buying another is not viable because there so **** expensive.Also looking at the senders they are selling (Genuine Triumph),they look nothing like this one.Mine and the picture Eartquake posted are the same sender,to which I have asked whether the float rod abuts the bracket tang...

    Fuel pump question 09” classic

    Hi Earthquake,Did you actually get to the bottom as to what was the correct positioning of that fuel sender arm.The arm on mine is to the right of that bracket stop,yours is the other way to the left.Which one is correct.Only similarity is that is was a bugger to get out.

    Fuel pump question 09” classic

    When you say the red tank, is that the thread where the tank is cut through?.The thing with this is that the sender unit rod and float is pointing to the front of the tank pointing towards the front of the tank.When I took mine out the float and rod were pointing to the fuel pump end (the...

    Fuel pump question 09” classic

    Hi there, .Just seen your post about the fuel sender unit,out of interest did you get any resolve to your question you were asking.I have a 2015 R3 and the sender unit was a complete pain to remove but when it finally came out it was identical to yours.When I say identical Imean the...
