    Brake bleed question

    I have a 2014 R3T. Just want to verify the correct size of the speed bleeders. Triumph lists two part numbers for the brake bleeders: Front-T2020014, Rear-T2020695. Is that because they are different sizes? Two are needed for the front and one for the rear. @Starmanut, did you find they were the...

    Bike won't start after Resource ECU map installed - Solved

    @Rocket_Rider Thank you for the suggestion to reload the tune. Your explanation was especially helpful. The third and final time to load the tune worked. In my searches of various threads, I had not seen that particular suggestion. For some reason the first two loads did not take. I had thought...

    Thanks. I will try reflashing the tune as well.

    Bike won't start after Resource ECU map installed - Solved

    Thanks Warp. I was thinking the fact that the various tests passed in TuneECU indicated the ECU is talking to the various sensors and the tune is therefore working. I also suspected SAI meant Secondary Air injection and the bike does not have that. Thanks for the confirmation. The battery is...

    Bike won't start after Resource ECU map installed - Solved

    During the installation of the tune, the battery was above 12.5 volts, the minimum needed, as I understand it, to install a tune. The voltage ranged between 12.7 and 13.1. The bike was on a battery charger. The fuse for the headlight was out during the install. It was put back in after the...

    Bike won't start after Resource ECU map installed - Solved

    I have a 2014 R3T. Did the TORS-Ram Air-Viking crossover install. Did the 12 minute tune. All with no problems. Installed a tune for this set up downloaded from the resources area. The bike will not start. After looking at different threads, I thought the tune might have gotten corrupted in the...

    Thank you. Really appreciate that.

    R3T - Stripped bevel box drain plug.

    We thought the bolt was still in the hole & the magnet had gone into the differential. We tried using an ezout but it did not appear to work. My friend is going to take the bolts out of the back to see if he can get the bolt/magnet out that way. I have ordered a differential/ swing arm assembly...

    R3T - Stripped bevel box drain plug.

    The odds are that I will take @TURBO200R4 up on his offer. I am a stubborn Irishman and do not like to give up easily. Which often leads to other problems. (After all, I am Irish and Murphy and I are well acquainted.) If there is a way to do this myself, I would like to give it a try. Thanks in...

    R3T - Stripped bevel box drain plug.

    With the help of a friend, he used a small, flat screwdriver under the head of the bolt to apply pressure, and I used a socket wrench and we were able to get the head and a little of the bolt our of the hole. The bolt was still in the hole. We were going to try a reverse drill bit to get it out...

    R3T - Stripped bevel box drain plug.

    @ZoneIII this just happened to me just as you described it. Had removed the filler plug and drain plug for bevel box and was flushing it with gear oil. Most of the gunk appeared to be out, so I started to put the drain bolt back in. I was using a digital torque meter set to 15 nm when the bolt...

    Damaged crankcase with pictures -- FIXED

    First I want to thank all of the members of this board for their suggestions, ideas, and support. I especially want to thank Paul Bryant for sending me instructions and pictures of what he did to fix his bike when he had a similar problem. I have made a friend at the church I joined who rides...

    Damaged crankcase with pictures -- FIXED

    This is not solved yet. I have the JackBeQuick bracket and am thinking about tying into it. This would put the kick stand pretty far back, but I think it would still be usable. A friend I have made since moving here is a mechanical engineer and motorcycle rider has been helping with trying to...

    Exedra Max radials on a Touring?

    I used the Exedra Max bias plies on my Kawasaki Nomad 1700 and got 7-8000 miles out of them. The Nomad is similar in weight to the Rocket. I am on my first set of Exedra Max radials and have a little over 2,500 miles on them. They are wearing well, with little apparent wear, and handle great.

    Damaged crankcase with pictures -- FIXED

    @Speedy, Could you explain some of the terms you are using? "plug tap" and "bottoming tap" What if I used a tap of the same diameter and thread as the current holes? Went very slowly, cleaning out the hole as I went, and added 5-6 threads for the three current holes and also did the fourth hole...

    Damaged crankcase with pictures -- FIXED

    I had that thought as well. The bike is in a storage locker with the rest of our stuff. I hope to go by today and look to see if that might work.

    Damaged crankcase with pictures -- FIXED

    The side stand is held on with 3 bolts which go into 3 holes; the two which have broken and are next to each other and the hole above the broken casting on the right. The hole above the broken casting on the left is just there and is not used for the side stand support. The threads of the two...
