    Is it really necessary to bleed ABS when maintenance bleeding of brakes for R3T

    It's time to bleed the brakes of my 2015 R3T. In the past, I also bled the ABS module using DealerTool. But the other day I ran into a YouTube video where the guy making it claimed that almost no bikes actually need the ABS system bled during normal brake bleeding. He claimed that almost all...

    ABS Brake Bleeding

    UPDATE TO MY PREVIOUS POST I realize that this thread is very old but I wanted to correct a couple things I wrote previously and add some current information. I should have mentioned that you bleed BOTH the front and rear ABS systems, not just the rear. That should be obvious. Reviewing the...

    Bevel box gear oil: What do you use?

    I don't think it's a problem either. I'm thinking the friction modifiers didn't do any harm but were simply unnecessary. After all, if it damaged gears, seals, etc., I would think it would damage the same in a limited slip differential but I may be wrong. In any case, my bevel box has never...

    Bevel box gear oil: What do you use?

    Yeah. I didn't think of it until recently but it recently dawned on me that the LS does mean limited slip. I'm not sure if that is detrimental to a R3 bevel box but I doubt that it is. I have an F150 with an electronic locking rear differential and I change all my fluids. If I had a limited...

    Bevel box gear oil: What do you use?

    My 2015 R3T owner's manual calls for Mobilube 75w-90 SHC synthetic hypoid gear oil for the bevel box. I say "my manual" because later manuals may recommend and different gear lube since Mobil tells me that Mobilube SHC oil was discontinued. I've been using Mobil 1 Synthetic 75w90 LS gear lube...

    Triumph Quit Ignoring Your Ignition Problems

    Thanks much! That's very helpful and I'm glad I asked. It's good to know the running lights are on a relay already. Also I don't want or need to turn off the headlight. So I don't think I'll bother with a modification. I may scan over the whole thread again, though, to see if the ignition...

    Triumph Quit Ignoring Your Ignition Problems

    I have a couple questions about the Easternbeaver kits. I'm thinking I may install one on my 2015 R3T even though the ignition problem apparently isn't a big issue with the single headlight Touring. But I may install one anyway because I sometimes ride with the running (driving) lights on and...

    Triumph Quit Ignoring Your Ignition Problems

    I had forgotten all about this issue until I received an update to this thread. I haven't had this problem but I definitely want to avoid it. I have a 2015 R3T with about 17,.000 miles on it. Before I look into buying an Eastern Beaver kit, I have a couple questions: 1) Hopefully, at some...

    I have the a "real" R3 hardcopy manual. I got it for about $75 online after doing a search. It was brand new, an official Triumph manual with the plastic covers. But don't one on eBay! Someone there is trying to sell the same thing for something like $700 or $800. You can also download the...

    You probably already know this but you get a digital download of the service manual for free online. Just do a search and you'll find it. I do have the hardcopy manual (the real Triumph one) that I got online for, if I remember, about $75 USD or so. There's someone on eBay that tries to sell...
