    Rocket 3 oil capacity

    I just did my oil. It was 5.5 quarts, give or take. That's on a 08 Touring. The manual said something like 6.4 litres or something there abouts. I know for sure I put a 5 quart bottle and halfish of a 1 quart.

    Touring TORS

    Just finished doing all my upgrades for the year last night. New tires, oil change, trip K&Ns, Power Commander V, Auto tune, balance beads. I was going to drill the baffles in the tail pipes, but I found that there aren't any. So I thought I would let you all know so you don't try. Not...

    bear claw

    Do these fit all years/models? Would it fit a 08 Touring?

    Not even tempted

    That H2 must sound like a demon and is fast as hell! Could you post a vid or sound clip of it running? Nothing sounds like the old two strokes..... They are just short of musical.

    Rear brake caliper torque reaction bolt

    A torch and soak in acetone will loosen almost any of these thread lockers.

    Blue Drip

    I have this same thing here in North Dakota. It never really leaves a puddle under the bike, just tracks on the pump housing; always from the top bolt. I have had it in for warranty on this problem once and it stopped for about a season. Its a few dribbles a couple times a year so I just...

    The Skinny on the coolant system

    I wouldn't run without antifreeze. One of the perks of antifreeze is that it raises the boiling point of the water. If your thermostat is set to open at 220* (not sure what they are on the Rocket, some cars open at that temp) you will run the risk of boiling the coolant. I know its supposed...

    Looking for a PCV tune

    I have a Power Commander V sitting in the box waiting for my K&N's from Flipmeister to show up. Once the filters show up, then I am going to have a shop day and install new tires, the PCV, and the airfilters. So I am looking for a tune for a Rocket III Touring with triple K&N's and TORS. Has...

    Air Bag Suspension Kit

    I am planning on mounting a set of Goldwing air shocks and the compressor to go with them. Figure i can put the compressor where the air filter goes under the seat. Just need to do the triple K&N's. Either that or Progressive Suspensions air shocks. Their site shows rockets using the same...

    Shock Me

    I have looked into putting air shocks on my ride. The Progressive Suspension site doesn't list any as fitting the R3T, but if you look real close you find that what fits the R3T also fits the Valkyries and Goldwings (standard shocks). So I figure a Valkyrie and Goldwing must weigh about the...

    Octane

    I had a 2003 Triumph Sprint ST a while back. Thought I would be smart and ran 110 octane in it. Big mistake. It took several tanks to get the carbon cleared out of the cylinders. Prior to the 110, it started wonderfully and you could tear off right after start up. After the 110, it was very...

    Insides of TORS

    I always thought mine kind of sounded like a motor boat. Not sure what kind though - I'm not a boater. Been on and near boats though, and thats what it strikes me as. A nice big 4 cylinder burbling through the water.

    Insides of TORS

    I think when I get my new tires mounted and the new trip K&Ns on, I am going to go with a set of the long style 2 into 1 Harley touring exhausts. I know they only have a right side pipe, but two makes a set. They should stick out past the tail nicely, and I am pretty sure I can fab a mount...

    R3T with Jardines and K&N trips

    Bruce, many thanks for posting the tune from your bike. I plan on doing trip K&N's but not the Jardines. I currently have the TORS, and will end up with two of the long 2-into-1 exhausts off of a Harley Touring. Word is that the tune for the trips with K&N's and aftermarket exhaust is a 90%...

    Can someone ID this exhaust?

    http://www.mxhaust.fi/en/products/triumph/#touring I found this on a google search for a Supertrapp setup for a Rocket. I have been through the Supertrapp site several times, I can't find it in the universal fit section. So I figure it must be an exhaust for another bike that happens to have...

    can someone identify this exhaust?

    I found this doing a Google search for triumph supertrap exhaust. I can't find a listing on the supertrapp website, so they must be a universal. Does anyone recognize them as a model specific unit or a part number? Exhaust systems for Triumph :: MXHAUST Thanx!

    Insides of TORS

    I almost looked up what a victor smoke wrench was. Almost...... Then it hit me, and I said 'Doh!!!'

    Modified Tunes for The R3 Touring

    Has anyone got a TuneECU version of GPMAZ's tune? I want to go this route but don't have access to a Tuneboy.

    Insides of TORS

    I knew there wasn't a cat in there, but there must be a baffle or something, no? Otherwise, with the inlet where it is, wouldn't most of the exhaust just go straight through and out the exhaust-side pipe? The one on the intake-side would likely get some exhaust, but much. Right? I would LOVE...
