    Rocket '07 transmission

    I'm pretty sure that you are correct. I think I will have to seriously consider sending my parts to Robinson. I'll probably start taking things apart in a week or two.

    Rocket '07 transmission

    Yeoch! o_O That's some serious cash! I sent them an email yesterday and Bill responded saying..... "The average cost is around $750. It includes an undercut, clip mod for 5th gear and a billet 4th output gear. Other labor or parts if needed would be additional. We will send you a complete...

    Rocket '07 transmission

    About what is the current average cost of a Robinson rebuild? I realize that it depends on what they find and replace.

    Rocket '07 transmission

    I appreciate both Kevin's & atomsplitter's advice. I'm not a transmission expert but have had various auto and motorcycle motors & transmissions apart and have managed to repair most of them. I would love to be able to afford to send it to Robinson, but unfortunately don't have the needed cash...

    Rocket '07 transmission

    The '07 Rocket that I recently acquired has a generally noisy transmission, compared to my '05, and has 2nd gear issues. I plan to take it apart this winter and replace any needed parts. However, looking around, I noticed this ad on Ebay....... 12 Triumph Rocket III 3 2300 Roadster...

    Excessive play in drive train

    I recently purchased a pair of Rocket III's, an '05 with 55K mi, and an '07 with 17K mi.. Let me say that this is my first experience with Rockets so I am not overly familiar with their quirks, common problems, etc.. After riding both for a while, I find that the '05 has more "play" in the...

    Want to Buy Tank badges

    Even at current Triumph retail of $46.16 ea + tax & shipping, they are still cheaper than paint.......even if a little draggy. :p :rolleyes:

    Want to Buy Tank badges

    Looking to buy a pair of original tank badges for my '07 Rocket III. I bought it used and the tank looks kinda bare without them. Thanks.

    Jardine exhaust

    Thanks, Idaho Red Rocket 3. :) I have sent an email to Big City Thunder but haven't heard back yet. If they aren't able to help, I think I will remove the Jardine baffles and see if they need repacked. I might also consider extending them (?).

    Jardine exhaust

    I think I may take your advice and keep the Jardine. I will contact Big City Thunder about their baffles. The Jardine setup does seem more powerful than my stock '05. Thanks for the info..

    Jardine exhaust

    Just to follow up with what I've discovered............ Seems the previous owner installed a DynoJet Power Commander III when he installed the Jardine and also their oxygen sensor eliminator. At 73, I find the Jardine is a litle on the loud side and plan on trying to trade it for a stock exhaust...

    Rocket owners average age!

    A young 73 here. :p

    Jardine exhaust

    That must be the case. Not being super familiar with fuel injection, I thought an oxygen sensor was necessary, but I guess not. If it runs OK, would you recommend leaving things alone, or should I pursue installing one and enabling it with TuneECU?

    Jardine exhaust

    I recently bought an '07 Rocket III which has a Jardine exhaust. Not being familiar with these, I was looking for where the O2 sensor is and can't find one. I see a port that has a plug in it but can't find the sensor. What gives? Am I blind or??? Thanks for any help.

    An R3 project tale

    A few weeks ago I was looking for a bike project in an attempt to fight boredom in retirement and saw an '05 R-III on Craigslist. It had been partially disassembled by the owner who was investigating "a tick" in the motor. Upon getting it home, I discovered that as the crank was turned it would...

    New here

    I'm a long time cyclist who just bought a project 2005 R3 with an engine tick. Previous owner started troubleshooting but got stalled & engine is partially disassembled. I currently own a '95 Yamaha Virago 750 and a '96 Honda Goldwing 1500 as daily drivers. I hope the R3 will become one...
