    Tyre pressures

    I listened to a podcast a couple of years ago from a retired higher up motorcycle manufacturer tire person and they gave a lot of information on tires. the one thing he said was start out 2 PSI below the max pressure because a lot of the bike manufacturers adjust pressure for the smoothest ride...

    Rocket storm ecu in an older rkt.

    What Rick said, use a modified tune for your bike, don't pick a different VIN range and try and make it work.

    2025 rocket 3 prolonged occasional starting.

    I have never run anything in the bike other than 87 with the exception of racing on the salt where I put in 98 octane. It was the lowest octane I could get from the approved fuel list which I had to purchase from Sunoco.

    Paul Bryant full system for 2.5 R3

    Yes, there needs to be new gaskets for the header. We didn't put on any blanking plates, I don't mind the burble when decelerating. No change to the intake tract as from what I could find there really isn't a restriction on the intake side other than the throttle bodies themselves but I...

    Paul Bryant full system for 2.5 R3

    Thank you for being great to work with and patient with all of my questions and requests. Very much appreciated. You can also now put on your website that your exhaust holds a Bonneville Salt Flats record! "Viking exhaust, as seen in the record books."

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

    The only time on any bike I don't use the sport mode is if the throttle gets too twitchy, and the only bike I have had like that was my S1000XR. Everything else gets sport mode because I find road mode can be a little too sluggish in throttle response.

    Rocket 3 - How reliable....

    They are very solid machines and I wouldn't worry about issues. I think you see the low miles because the Rockets are polarizing, meaning a person gets one and then decides they are not for me or they love it and don't trade it. So all you are seeing are the Rockets which someone thought...

    If we can get a second record I won't ever be able to sell the bike because too many memories and stories tied to it. 😁

    Raboconda Tire Changer for 240 rear wheel?

    I used the Raboconda today and here is what it looks like. The residue between the holes in the rim are from where we put tape to make sure the safety wire didn't rub on the rim.

    I hate key fobs

    I find that I can start the bike with a dead or almost dead FOB by having it in my right front pocket. I stand next to the bike, move my right pocket to the antenna or close anyway and then I can still reach the clutch and ignition switch at the same time. I have a FOB on my Indian...
