2025 R3 Storm

I found a 2022 R3 silver/red with a werks slipon I tried to purchase for a week and gave up today to buy a new leftover 2025 R3 Storm. Have a look.

congrats, time to do some mods

Quick shifter and BT Moto tune and she will be up to speed. Hope u got a decent deal on it. Nothing better than being the only one who has road it.

While I agree withe QS, a tune is - from my point of view and especially when used in the US - burned money, especially when not done dedicated to that special motorcycle or done during warranty.

Don't get me wrong: I really appreciate the work of @Penner , but I would in any case drive to his shop floor and let the bike be analyzed and tuned by himself.

Aside from this: all the best to your new bike - and the blue is breathtaking...

The blue is just begging for a titanium Vandemon header. And some kind of titanium muffler. If my bike were blue, I'd have went that way.

Thanks, This machine will become my tourer once I'm done. Compared to new bike prices I got a good price. I attempted to check out a few used 2500's within 75 miles and nobody returned my emails. I was hoping to find a low mile used model with a couple acc's already installed for me. Initially I'm looking for a touring screen, sidebags and handlebar risers. Eventually I'll add an exhaust and map, but I'll need to verify warranty regs first. Regarding the QS? I've got one on my Sdr evo and in 20,000 miles don't use it.

Sharp looking ride. Have fun modding it up.

I think the quick shift works better on the Rocket than my 1290's. I used it just yesterday passing a pack of Hardleys.

I'm from the school of break them in like you ride them, so I'm wringing it out pretty good. The only thing I try to do more of in the first 500 miles is engine braking. I remember my 2300 feeling like it wanted to shift around 2500 rpm while my new bike smooths as I let the rpm's build, very confidence inspiring. I haven't cracked the owners manual, but this display is making a fool out of me so somehow I'm going to have to pay attention long enough to learn to navigate it, operate the cruise control and also adjust the suspension which nearly broke my spine during my night ride on the 294 extension the first night. To say I'm impressed would be an understatement! Mt 06 R3 was feeling pretty sloppy by 10,000 miles and my 2013 s3se engine was a friday afternoon build. I left Triumph thinking I'd never return. This '25 R3 storm has a really premium feel to it, a quiet engine and handling capability that surprised me. So far the honeymoon is all wood.

Turn the bike on to accessories, top of the start/stop rocker. Gray square/pentagon? under that switch opens up a bunch of stuff to set up the bike. Use the left toggle under the turn signal to navigate. You can just go to the left toggle after turning it on and access quite a bit. I use the Chronos screen because it doesn’t look as busy as the Quartz one and I can see the digital speed display much easier. This button/toggle is where you can zero out your average gas mileage, trip meter, screen contrast, etc. Cruise control is easy. Gray rocker switch on the left, push the bottom to set speed, I think you have to be in third gear and over 25 MPH. I usually press it twice out of habit. It sometimes doesn’t catch the first one. Top button resumes set speed or increases by 2MPH every press. Bottom press will subtract 2MPH with each press. CC will disconnect if you apply either brake, pull in the clutch or go to -1 on the throttle grip. The cruise control has to be set up initially. I don’t remember that process off the top of my head. It’s something like, set, front brake, rear brake, clutch, -1 throttle. You can also set the turn signal to auto deluxe or something like that. Where a soft press will give you three blinks and a harder one will give you the normal distance/time auto shut off. Left Gray Square/Pentagon is for riding modes. You can switch to rain, sport or road while moving, but it will not take affect until you stop and pull in the clutch. That’s about all I can think of, play around with it. It won’t mess up anything, which is probably a good thing in my case.

Edited to add- The date wrong will mess you up and give you the wrench/service light. Been there, done that. Oh, and the gas light will come on with quite a bit left in the tank. Toggle over to the gas gage and look at the bottom for remaining miles. It is pretty generous, 35 miles, I think and I’ve taken it down to zero and went another 20 miles. I wasn’t brave enough to take it any further than that and I think that is pretty close to empty.
Factory rear suspension is pretty brutal on bumps. I messed with mine a bunch and finally went with a Wilbur’s shock. It’s pretty expensive but that should’ve been my first mod. It is an awesome shock. Big bumps are still pretty sharp, but it is way better than stock. Really notice how good it is in the twisties on an uneven road.
