    Heat Wrap

    I had the manifold Cerakote plated and swapped the OEM shields for carbon fiber. It cuts down on the heat from the manifold. Here's what that looks like: And mounted up with new gaskets: It doesn't eliminate the heat off the manifold, just makes it tolerable.

    New to the Rocket family

    Greetings from sunny North Texas. Using premium is only if you want cleaner fuel in the system, the engine doesn't need it. I also have a Bobber but I upgraded the whole suspension, front and rear just to ride it without detonating spinal disks. Now it's a real joy for blasting about town...

    hill assist light comes on but not engaging

    Try using the rear brake alone for a few stops, then try the brake hold again and see if that wakes it up. It's possible when they installed the rear wheel they spread the pads.

    hill assist not working

    Mine is exact opposite, I get the brake on and it won't let go no matter how much power you apply to the rear wheel. The only reset is to kill the motor and then it let's go. Seems there's a glitch in the circuitry for using the ABS solenoid as a brake hold.

    Now owing Rocket 3, how do you tolerate other bikes? What would your next bike be?

    I have one. It's my favorite hop and go bike in the garage. The low low seat and easy steering are a real asset. When I bought it the engine was very punchy down low so I put a booster plug in to add some fuel above idle and that cured the engine jerks at take-off. It has limited cornering...

    Now owing Rocket 3, how do you tolerate other bikes? What would your next bike be?

    I bought it when I was trying for a garage full of 1200's. Also in response to my son-in-law (Tom) leaving me in the weeds on his 1050 Speed Triple during Sunday rides on my Bonneville engined bikes. He can't run away from me now on either my S3 or Rocket. The difference between the two is...

    Engine turns but won't start

    Without a fuel pressure check it's hard to diagnose the exact problem. If you can get a pressure reading when the pump pressurizes the fuel rail, it would help find the problem.

    Engine turns but won't start

    It's likely your fuel pump or the fuel filter. Start with replacing the filter and see if that does it. If not your fuel pump may need replaced.

    What mode?

    Get TuneECU and derestrict SPORT mode. The settings from the factory rob about 30 RWHP and some torque. Also increase the redline limiter and you'll be much happier. If you want to go full "Penner" that's also available.

    New Owner of 2005 Rocket 111 w/10k orig. miles ( from orig. owner). In Central Cali.

    Greetings from sunny North Texas. You can also add some tasty carbon fiber to your bike. I believe Motocomposites still makes Gen 1 parts. I did a heat shield replacement on my GT and had a ceramic coating put on my header:

    Help 2008 r3 touring not starting

    The crank angle sensor is under the engine and held in by one bolt if memory serves. It has an O-ring to seal it. It can get oily and less sensitive. Look around your sump plate for something with a wire coming out of it, remove the retaining bolt, pull the sensor out, wipe it clean...

    Triumph rocket 3 2.5 gt

    I have it on my Speed Triple RS but think it's a bit of gilding on the Rocket (unless you really really want clutchless shifting).
