  1. R3 Basics

    When I was deciding between purchasing an R or a GT I was in the same boat as the OP. After doing the math I think if figured that it was cheaper to go with the GT and just add the Triumph removable bags than to do everything thats needed to turn the R into a capable part time tourer.

  2. Wheel Swap

    Im from the New England area of the United States and own a 2022 GT. Wondering if anyone that owns an R model bike would be interested in a wheel swap. My preference would be for the all black wheels on the R and would hope that someone that owns an R model would prefer the GT wheels. My GT...

  3. Why have 3 x ETV3 Tables?

    You will NOT be able to tune your late model Rocket with a windows computer. You also must use an Android device linked via Bluetooth as a cable connection will not work. I too had the concerns that you mention about fueling and ignition tables. I was assured by Ulf Penner that the factory's...

  4. Penner tune for european Gt

    I think it's worthy of noting that when the tune restrictions are eliminated the factory tune designation remains the same. In other words a custom tune will still have the factory stock tune ID number. The quickest and easiest way IMO is to just look at the ETV 3 tables far right column to...

  5. Final Drive

    If you should be able to make contact could you please post info. Id be real curious to know if they also make the drives for the new 2.5 Rockets and if they have different ratios available???

  6. Penner tune for european Gt

    There was a mixup on the tune that was posted on the Tune ECU custom tunes site that I discovered and notified Ulf Penner about. It was in fact the factory tune that was posted but was promptly corrected by Penner and Tom Tom. This mixup was for the US and Canada Market late model GTs. Its...

  7. Fastest quarter mile 2.5L rocket

    I suppose you could pull up the forks at the track if you were to take with you the proper tools. Be aware that you will want to use a torque wrench to tighten triple clamps to final torque spec. I suspect that between an inch and an inch and a half will make the bike a lot less wheelie prone...

  8. Fastest quarter mile 2.5L rocket

    I would be hesitant to try try anything but a first gear launch because it's still not established how robust the clutch and crank are. A second or third gear hard launch will without a doubt create additional stresses to both. Dont know just how far you're willing to go to get to 9.99 but you...

  9. Fastest quarter mile 2.5L rocket

    Sunny, a person will need to leave MUCH harder to get even close to your goal. Be sure that the Penner tune is saved and identified in a way that it can easily revert back to it for street riding. Then try editing the TBW in first gear only, so that the throttle butterflies are restricted to...

  10. turbocharging latest generation rocket 3s

    And what about the space where the catbox lives Richard??? Is there enough room for a small frame turbo capable of moving enough air for a 2.5L engine?

  11. Fastest quarter mile 2.5L rocket

    You might try Pingel Enterprises for the front end straps. Sunny ... based on the slips that you posted I will say that you will need to take a full 2 tenths off of your 60 foot time to even have a chance of running 9.99. Notice how your quickest ET also had your best 60 foot time!!! This is...

  12. Why so many carbon fiber parts ?

    Not sure there is much of a weight savings as many of the available carbon fiber parts are replacements for OEM parts that are made of plastic. Me thinks the carbon craze is mostly esthetics.

  13. Rocket 3R VS GT wheel Rim price difference - can anyone explain

    My guess is that for the GT the entire rim is powder coated and that the powder coat on the rims spoke surface is just milled of and finished with a brushed finish surfacing.

  14. turbocharging latest generation rocket 3s

    This one goes out mainly to Richard Albans as Im sure in his quest to supercharge the latest gen rockets he has given consideration to this question.... Would a small turbocharger and its associated plumbing fit in the area currently occupied by the Rockets cat box? My guess (without measuring)...

  15. Rocket 3R VS GT wheel Rim price difference - can anyone explain

    are you certain that the lower quote isn't for a bare bones wheel, and the higher price includes a complete rear assembly???
