    Brake Bleeding using Tune ECU

    Any particular reason why? Works on my other ABS Triumphs. UPDATE: When confused (like I usually am) I consulted the work shop manual and found on page 1218 the procedure for dealing with installation of the ABS modulator. The important steps are these: 1. Position the ABS modulator onto...

    Heat Shielding Experiment

    Well my new Motocomposites heat shields are on and I noticed they offset from the header about 1/4" more than the OEM metal shields. They are foil backed so my guess is they won't explode into flame. If they can get the furnace temperature down to just mildly unpleasant from its open pit roast...

    Brake Bleeding using Tune ECU

    Yes. You'll need to navigate to Tests and Adjustments. Here's a video on how to do it:

    How to add mid pegs with front peg controls without buying midpeg mounts

    That's because they ride these kind of bikes every day: Both of these bikes will out corner my Rocket, the RS almost pulls as hard as my Rocket too, but neither one of them has everything my Rocket does.

    Asymmetrical front tire wear

    I use a static balancer myself. My brother uses a ball bearing style balancer (Centramatic) on his Goldwing and swears by it.

    Early 2.5 with 30,000+ miles - anything to be aware of?

    Prepare to be disappointed. The amount of 'wrench time' on these bikes is usually limited to adding farkle and bling, not doing repairs or maintenance.

    Asymmetrical front tire wear

    I have my rebound at minimum. Not sure what availability of Amazon you have, but Dyna Beads can be ordered through them. You can also check eBay there are vendors there as well...

    2.5 not starting after washing

    Likely the distributor wires were leaking assuming the distributor cap was water tight. If you pop the hood open with the motor running in the dark (at night), with very old distributor wires you can watch the wires arcing to ground some of the voltage (dazzling little light show) due to cracks...

    For Sale Hate to do it, but there comes a time

    I"m sure you can get it sold. Kinda funny tho, I'm 72 and just bought a 2023 GT. Course I also have smaller lighter bikes too. Good luck with your endeavors.

    2.5 not starting after washing

    Being the atom splitting nit picker that I am, please everyone note for future reference that water cannot 'ground' anything. Water has VERY poor conductivity. What can cause grounding is stuff IN the water like soap, minerals, salts and a raft of chemicals. The 1240 Megawatt main generator...

    TPMS light on R3 GT Consol

    If the ECU doesn't register an input then the TFT shouldn't either. Glad you got it sorted.

    Hello near Bishops Stortford. Buying.

    Greetings from sunny North Texas. You'll have to identify where "here" is. There are probably more available in the USA than Jakarta.

    Hill Hold feature

    It occurs to me that the operation of the Hill Hold and the Hold on my Lexus are very similar. To the time aspect A1A brings up, the way Lexus dealt with it was to time out the Hold feature by automatically engaging the car's parking brake. Found this out while stopped at a RR crossing and the...

    Remap?

    When I think "mapping" it's changing air/fuel ratios on a table. The ETV settings are simply a percentage of throttle at a given RPM in a table. It is remapping to the extent any changes have to be downloaded to the ECU as a reflash, however the AF, L, etc tables aren't affected, just how...

    Hill Hold feature

    The suggested time limitation is consideration for overheating the solenoid (power applied) that's holding the ABS from releasing the rear brake. There are a lot of factors that come into play with that number, mostly it's conservatism on the OEM's part to ensure longevity of components (can't...

    Remap?

    No remapping is necessary if you just want all the power that's been restricted by simply changing the settings for throttle settings in the ETV tables (using TuneECU). There's a great video on how to do it on Youtube to "unleash the beast" and doesn't require dyno testing or anything else...

    Asymmetrical front tire wear

    Improper suspension setup can also affect your wear pattern. Try increasing your rear shock preload 4 or 5 turns and then back off the rear shock rebound damping to MINIMUM and see what effect that has on tire wear pattern over the next few hundred miles. When you put fresh rubber on make sure...

    RT3 Oversteer?

    Doesn't mean a previous owner had your intelligence. I had an 81 Yamaha XS 1100 years ago that was prone to oversteer and follow road camber. I corrected it with a Telefix fork brace. The Rocket regardless of iteration doesn't have the same flexi-flyer frame problem of that old Yammie. The...

    RT3 Oversteer?

    Check the bearings front and back. If you have a center stand you can jack the front wheel off the ground and check for play in the headstock. Check the rear wheel bearings for play as well. The Gen 1 Touring version rides a 180 section rear tire if memory serves, so any play in any wheel...
