    Best jack to go with Jack-Be-Quick

    I am thinking that I will get the wheels off of the bike with the wheels basically on the ground. I will take off the left exhaust and both panniers, loosen the axle nuts. I will then get the bike up, get the rear dolly under the rear wheel which will also support it up-right, lower the bike so...

    Best jack to go with Jack-Be-Quick

    BillB, that looks like a good idea. Get 4 jack stands. For the front, it looks like you placed the stands on the rails which hold the front controls and for the rear, you placed the stands on the rear tip-over bars. Is that correct? My previous bike was a 1700 Kawasaki Nomad. It was lifted by...

    Best jack to go with Jack-Be-Quick

    I am getting ready to take the wheels off for the first time to get new tires put on. I have a Craftsman two rail lift like the harbor freight lift. I have practiced lifting the bike with the JBQ bracket. The front comes up first and eventually the rear comes up. What other precautions do I need...

    Can someone help me for expansion vessel

    I removed the expansion tank in order to add a Suzuki SH847 Regulator/Rectifier to replace the stock R/R. Here is where I described what I did with the hoses after removing the expansion tank.

    Tires...weights or Balls!

    I use Ride-On Tire Sealant. I still have the wheels/tires balanced when getting new tires put on. If one puts 25% more sealant in the tire than is called for to seal the tire. There is a chart that indicates how much sealant to put in based on tire size. For the R3T it is 8 ozs to seal the stock...

    "Tires on my 2005 rocket 3!

    I bought my 2014 R2T in 4/18 with 2,800 miles on it. I picked it up in San Antonio, TX and rode it back to Florida. It still had the original tires on it. They were 4 years old. I replaced them with Avons because I did not want to take a chance on a blow out at highway speeds on the 1,200 mile...

    Who's Beaten the Snow???

    How much would a small storage locker cost? Maybe you have a friend who could keep it at their place? Sell it before you go back home?

    Edit: Here is a ride I am interested in doing Scenic Highway. The ride will begin just north of the Scenic Highway which runs along a ridge which goes down the middle of the state. The Scenic Highway runs along State Road 17 beginning in Haines City and ends in Frostproof. From there we will...

    CRUISE CONTROL

    I agree with @Joesmoe. Have one on my R3T and it is wonderful. So much better than a throttle lock. On long rides it is a real blessing. It is a big job. Not hard, just a lot of pieces. Read the instructions several times and review the threads here. Take your time and it will go OK. It took me...

    Rear Tire Install Dolly...Making My Life Easier... I Hope!

    The timing of this thread is good for me. I am close to needing to get my old tires off and new ones on. This will my first time to do it with my R3T. I will take them to a shop to have the new tires put on. I definitely relate to your struggle with the rear. My bad back hurts just thinking...
