    Front Brake Light Switch

    Hi all. Hope this hasn't been covered before but... My front brake light switch recently became intermittent, found out at the garage during my annual Warrant of Fitness, the good mechanic still gave me the warrant but told me to get it sorted, I sprayed it with concact cleaner and it seemed...

    Triumph alarms......all the same?

    Gday , Hear me rant but... I had a Triumph alarm too, it stranded me some distance from home (luckily had friends nearby...) and that was the final straw. The biggest problem I found was you couldn't simply select ON or OFF it always self arms. Couldn't gas up without it arming, couldn't...

    Instigation

    Gday My 2 cents. Took me a few years to try using a DS tyre. Went to the lengths of getting a complete rear wheel assembly at no small cost to fit the new tyre too figuring i would chop and change based on what riding i was doing. It wasn't so much the cost of the tyre but the inconvenience...

    Throttle Position Sensor

    Thanks all so far. What I had guessed was Triumph (or any manufacturer) would not go through the effort of designing their own TPS but source an OEM one. From Aliexpress.com you can buy one for a Honda Integra or a Cadillac for around $10USD. Knowing the mark ups on OEM parts ;-) I would...

    Throttle Position Sensor

    Hi All Just a simple question and thanks for your answers in advance. Best place/site to buy a spare TPS for the Rocket? My guess is they are a generic item and the same unit is used on many other vehicles.

    Tune ECU Question

    Regrets from a Butthole Surfers song "Sweat Loaf", great album from the 80's but the sentiments the same:) As "she that must be obeyed" gave me the money to get the Rocket on the condition the Speed Triple went, when she first moved in with me I cannot really complain.

    Tune ECU Question

    Hi Mitch Thanks for the info on the R3R, won't try putting in the tune I had downloaded then. Will PM for the tune and give it a go. Would like to chuck it on a dyno for a tune but my missus would have a fit. Usually I do it then just suffer the consequences :D. As the saying goes "its...

    Tune ECU Question

    Hi hoping someone can answer this for me. Can I use a R3R tune in a standard 05 Rocket? Could someone tell me the difference between the two (other than the cosmetics) like how they get the additional power? i thought it was probably better exhaust and a re-tune as the motor spec seems...

    Where is the best place to get a Tuneboy?

    I have been looking at a Tuneboy system and don't think thy are too badly priced, I considered making up the USB to OBD2 plug and downloading the software to just be able to clear faults and stuff. But its the Tune Edit I think will be the bonus to it all. This allows remaps etc. It does...

    Cruiser Motorcycle Mentality

    Got rid of my Speed triple and got an R3, never owned a cruiser and didn't really enjoy the Spd Triple, loved it but for some reason I just could not stop myself breaking the law on it. When I got the R3 I thought this is great, I can comfortably go long distance, its quiet, good power delivery...

    Headlight Problems

    You too huh? I just about had to stop and wait till my night vision came back. Small piece of black insulation cut to circle and stuck on, works a treat, think my old speed triple was the same. Your right why does it have to be THAT! bright. I asked someone and they reckoned it was so you...

    Bike Stopped Going

    Any suggestions advice greatly appreciated. Was on motorway, 60mph, bike entirely cut out on me, caosted to a stop. Checked all fuses, OK. Checked power, had enough. There was no starter, or ignition. Put it on a tow truck :mad: and got it home and it went fine. I noticed that when it...
