    METZELER Cruisetec - Never Again!

    Sorry I don't know. For me, just about every tire I look for is "out of stock". Now that could be because as of now, the tires are being shipped to the southern hemisphere as it's riding season there and not so much where I am. But what I can say, is that at this point in time, when I am...

    METZELER Cruisetec - Never Again!

    So more insight is necessary here. Metzeler originally produced a tire for the original Rocket IIIs called the Marathon ME 880. Then they upped their offering to the Marathon ME 888 Ultra. In my opinion, the ME 888 Ultra was substantially better than the ME 880. Better handle, road feel...

    Lost fob key on high speed

    It might not be simple but it is cost effective. Also, at least you can ride for the 2 months it takes for your replacement to arrive. Good luck.

    Lithium battery

    I replaced the OEM battery in both of my Rockets. I had a 2010 Rocket III Roadster, worked fine, no issues. I have a 2020 Rocket 3 GT and replaced the OEM battery with a NoCo battery and no issues.

    What do you think about the riding modes? Do you find them useful?

    I do use the modes throughout the season. I start a new season (after me and the bike have been apart for several months) in RAIN mode until I get the feel of the bike and the muscle memory returns. Then I generally ride in SPORT mode most of the season, unless of course it starts to rain...

    How much do you pay for insurance for 2500cc?

    $91/month ($1039/year) full coverage, full everything. I'm 55, clean driving record, and live in the GTA. In Canada (and most parts of the world) a lot of things are variables in how much you pay. Some insurers check your credit score, certainly driving history, criminal history, how much you...

    Noco a good alternative to yuasa?

    The NoCo NLP14 with the correct spacers fits perfectly in my 2020 Rocket 3 GT. The spacers are included with the battery as purchased (they are not sold separately). Here is the manufacturers link NOCO - 500A Lithium Powersport Battery - NLP14

    Noco a good alternative to yuasa?

    Updated. I rode today at 10C, started up like a champ. No issues with the NoCo battery. Didn't explode or anything. In other news, ICE car caught fire today, so I guess we should all start looking at pedal bikes for our two wheeled adventures. Ah sh!t, my balls chaff and I already bought...

    Noco a good alternative to yuasa?

    It's installed in my bike! Super easy, easy charge, low dissipation over time, like 1% per month. Good in cold weather, I installed one in my bike, and one in my wife's HD Heritage Classic.

    Why are people selling their Rockets?

    While I know this is not everyone in this forum or every motorcyclist out there, sometimes we (the collective we) buy things that we regret. It's too big, too tall, too peppy, not peppy enough (I doubt this one), doesn't fit, doesn't feel right, doesn't come in my colour, who knows. We all...

    Why are people selling their Rockets?

    I'm on my 3rd Rocket (2 Rocket IIIs and 1 Rocket 3 GT). If this doesn't convince you, nothing will! My next bike will be a newer version of this one, if at all!

    Best way to power up external GPS unit

    You've been given good advice here. There are some power points to tap into that make running wires from the front head unit area simple and clean. It's what I have done to power my GPS unit, then a Lamonster cradle, and a Ram mount for the GPS base. All set. No fuss, no muss!
