    Adventure to a 2023 2.5 Liter Rocket 3 GT

    Your ETV 3 tables are still factory restricted it appears. You can amp those up and gain some power in SPORT mode. If you do that however you'll lose cruise control until you perform a switch check. Otherwise have fun and enjoy (BTW it looks suspiciously like the one in my garage). I also...

    Progressive 412 Series Shocks

    No, I had the Hagons on my 05. I do run an Ohlins on my Bobber, but they don't make a shock for the Gen 1 Rocket.

    replacing rear shocks

    I assume you mean you bottom out with the preload maxed out on the current spring. If that's the case your need a much heavier spring on the next set of shocks you purchase, You'll also want to install heavier fork springs as well, recommend around 11 to 12 NM/mm progressives would do it. If...

    2005 Rocket 3 front wheel spacers

    This is the diagram of the front wheel assembly: There isn't a spacer on the side with the speedometer hub, the speedo hub is the spacer. The parts list for the front wheel assembly only list 2 spacers, parts 5 and 11. The speedometer hub and cable are on the left side of the wheel when...

    Progressive 412 Series Shocks

    Try running your current shock to the max preload and ride it awhile. How does it compare to your current setting? How much static sag does your bike have with the current settings? If money is no object and you want superior performance Wilbers makes a great product...

    Progressive 412 Series Shocks

    Just a few notes, upgrading shocks isn't a bad idea, but it should be done with some goals in mind. What are you trying to accomplish by upgrading the suspension? Is your rear suspension correctly adjusted now? Upgrading the back without consideration of the front is only tackling half the...

    Finally booked a VRBO in Harrison for the 7 to 12th. I'm assuming there will be a meet up in the mornings. Looking forward to the trip.

    Front suspension upgrade

    You might also consider mounting a fork brace to the upper stanchions. Doubt anyone stocks any you may have to fabricate one. I've put them on several of my bikes (my 2017 T-120 has one on now).

    Bleeding Brakes

    If you got some air out of the banjo you probably have air trapped in the pump piston area. If you still have the 4-position lever, make sure it's on the longest throw to purge that out.

    Bleeding Brakes

    One more note, make sure you maintain your reservoir level between upper and lower level marks when bleeding to prevent air being sucked in.

    Bleeding Brakes

    The spongy feeling at the lever is air in the system. Here's another trick I've used. Take a squirt bottle spritzer and rubber band the trigger back. Then attach a bleeder hose to the caliper nipple and the other end to the spritzer tube. The spritzer is a one-way valve and will allow fluid...

    Bleeding Brakes

    When you release the lever on the bar do so slooooowly. It will prevent air induction. Also try letting the system sit for a day to allow any air to migrate to the highest point. When you fill the reservoir air is mixed into the fluid as micro bubbles.

    Bleeding Brakes

    If you have a bleed nipple on the reservoir perch, you need to bleed that as well. My sons-in-law's Speed Triple had the same problem until I bled that perch nipple and then they were solid as a rock.

    Does ride modes work still?

    Depending on what you changed the ride modes aren't usually affected. The ETV tables have 3 listings (1,2, and 3) number 1 is rain, 2 is road, and 3 is sport. As long as you don't change anything in 1 or 2 they are not affected. What will be affected if you dorked with ANY table is cruise...

    FRONT MASTER CYLINDER REBUILD KIT

    You should read the book pictured in my avatar, sounds like you're using my maintenance methodology. Disassemble to explosion point, reassemble 4 or 5 times until frustration, consternation, and rage force seeking advice.

    FRONT MASTER CYLINDER REBUILD KIT

    If you had that spring reversed, you can't get any fluid down the lines. If you look at the holes at the bottom of the reservoir and actuate the brake lever you should see spring coils moving by the hole. The piston with the o-rings is the pressure boundary and the rubber cup on the spring is...
