    Just Installed A Tachometer On My R3T

    Installed my Koso TNT-01R tachometer yesterday. It could not have been easier due to the information in this thread. I will be replacing the clamp which holds the tach to the handle bars with a Kuryakyn "P" clamp. I wanted to see what it looked like before making the decision. It holds the tach...

    Tyre pressures

    I also have the Garmin tire pressure sensors paired with a Zumo 395. They make it easy to keep an eye on the tires' pressure.

    I understand that lithium batteries may not do well in cold weather.

    Hella Horn - Yay / Nay / Whatever

    In my defense, I rode home from work in the rain and put her away wet. (I know, I know :rolleyes:) I am hoping that I live in a small enough town that he might not be able to find me. ;)

    Hella Horn - Yay / Nay / Whatever

    I forgot to add, you might paint the red covers black, perhaps, to better blend in with the color of your bike.

    Hella Horn - Yay / Nay / Whatever

    I used a "P" clamp to mount a pair of Hella Twin Tone horns off of the engine guards, one on each side. I kept the stock horn and they are wired in series off the horn button. All three horns sound off at the same time. The Hellas are on their own relay to the battery. The relay is triggered by...

    Air Conditioned Helmet

    I live in Florida and have a temperature gauge on my handle bars. Last summer I saw 122 degrees fahrenheit and I believed it, with the sun above and black top below cooking me in between. This is not counting the humidity which can be awful in Florida.

    British/Norwegian/American bike

    Welcome from central Florida. Got my 2014 R3T in April of 2018. Picked it up in San Antonio, Texas and rode it back, about 1200 miles. Am having a blast riding and modding the bike.

    The times they are a’changin...

    It surprises me that the motorcycle manufacturers do not see the value of a "halo" bike, like the Corvette for Chevrolet, the Viper for Dodge, the Shelby Cobra for Ford, etc. The Rocket could be that bike for Triumph if it were marketed properly. They were going to go for a world speed record at...

    Received this from Tampa dealer and link to Daily Herald ( UK)

    I agree. When considering what my next bike would be I could not find anything that checked the boxes the R3T did. Funny that you mentioned the Road King. If I were to look at HD, that would be the bike I would consider. I do not want my motorcycle covered in plastic. From an appearance...

    Welcome from about an hour north of you. Have had my 2014 R3T since April. Lurked here for a long time before getting the bike. Thouroughly enjoy the bike and this forum.

    Electronics Question

    Well the diode worked/didn't work. It did keep the Smart Brake Module from triggering the cruise control, so that worked. Unfortunately, it also caused the Engine Management System Malfunction Indicator Light to come on. I also had a problem with the cruise being stuck at 6o mph. Took out the...

    P1690 error code

    Thank you. I am hoping that removing the diode will fix the P1690 error code and removing the Smart Brake Module will fix the problem with the cruise control. I may have to reset the computer for the cruise control. This is the first time I have used TuneECU and did not want to do anything...

    I am confused about tire size.

    The stock size tires for the R3T are: Front- 150/80 16; Rear- 180/70 16. Avon makes tires in these sizes in both radial and bias ply if I remember correctly. If there is an R in front of the tire size, the tire is a radial. Generally speaking, you will want to have the same kind of tire on...

    P1690 error code

    I installed a MC Cruise cruise control and it worked fine. Added a SupaBrake 3 brake light modulator and a Smart Brake Module which senses when the bike is slowing down and flashes the brakes to let people behind me know that I am slowing down. Everything worked as it should except the Smart...
