    Wanting confirmation... Rear wheel ticking...

    Great advice. After that you could pull the wheel and rotate bearings with your fingers. Bad will usually be locked with your limited force, hard to turn, or rough. There's a lot of conversation about how tight to actually torque that axle (below spec), as the bearings tend to go out and its...

    Chigee remote wire/ fuse tap/din

    I have a "dash" cam system I installed that turns on when the bike powers up. I believe (?) it was the license plate light that I tapped into- in any event, this wire is only hot at startup. Hope this helps... This is located under the seat, left side, a green wire with white markings, in with...

    Airbags - an update

    The older version actually offers better protection, but as you said it's a little heavier and warmer. The new ones allow you to change the canister yourself. One reason the Alpinestars are so popular is that there is no monthy or yearly subscription. Buy it (new or older version) and you're...

    Airbags - an update

    So, I realize this is a personal choice- do whatever you think is best. I guess I’ll start with this to head off any controversy. If you’re “against airbags,” then this is not the post for you- why you decided to click on it, not sure, but read on if you’re curious and open-minded. Once upon a...

    Highest mileage 2500?

    My 2020 3R just went past 50K miles. Let's just say the sides of my tires wear down well before the middle here in twisty land (western NC), so Roxanne gets her ears yanked back routinely. I load mine for camping regularly. The Roadster accommodated gear more easily, but with the panniers and...

    Bike Down, need to choose next bike

    The R version would be closer to the Roadster. Some get the GT and move the pegs back (or visa versa), but then the handlebars and seat are different too. I like the upright position and have added the backrest, sporty windshield, and heated grips. I'd suggest picking your riding position first...

    Bike Down, need to choose next bike

    which windshield is that?

    Bike Down, need to choose next bike

    I had a ‘12 Roadster and now ‘20 3R. Echoing some of what others have said… 2.3 for passenger and holds more gear (camping, etc.), easier to work on. 2.5 for handling, braking, and cooler look. I load mine with camping gear, but much less comfortable for a passenger. Generally harder to work on...

    Coolant Temperature Sensor Mystery

    All good - thanks! Let me add a couple of things. It's very intermittent, as in months go by with no elevation on the gauge, but this gives me something to look for when it happens and I'll also just watch to see what the overflow tank does next time at idle until fans come on. This thing is a...

    Coolant Temperature Sensor Mystery

    I really do appreciate the time you put into that. You definitely know your stuff and, although I understand most of what you're explaining, I may still have some questions (even though the answers are probably already in there.) I'm going to need to be more vigilant about paying attention to...

    Triumph Rocket III touring windshield

    Just FYI - I hope it's OK to post this here (not mine). There's one on FB marketplace in Johnson City for $100 and been on for 8 weeks. Seems like a good deal, but all I know is what I'm reading, so putting it out there in case someone is looking. Ad says... Triumph Rocket III touring windshield...

    Turn signal problem

    @Rick111 has the same idea that first came to my mind and is essentially doing the same thing you're describing (exerting force against the nut to hold it), but easier.

    Coolant Temperature Sensor Mystery

    Update- Two more events. I thought I reported the first incident here, but looks like I actually posted on @Nashvegas post here... https://www.r3owners.net/threads/help-please-engine-overheating-%F0%9F%A5%B5.53232/post-851791 Two months ago... Was riding (not stopped) about 5 miles from home...

    Wondering why you weren't showing up on the list. Cardiologist? I went down that road early this year. They wanted to put in a pacemaker, but working on more natural solutions- we'll see. I hope you test out OK.

    I HAVE A 2020 ROCKET 3 GT, I WASHED THE BIKE, DRIED IT AND STARTED IT, MOVED IT INTO THE GARAGE, THE NEXT MORNING IT WOULDNT START, I REPLACED THE KEY

    Some good things mentioned here by others for people having this issue, but for different reasons... - As mentioned before.... The FOB can be turned off (why?), unlike your car FOB. It happened to me once getting pressed in my pocket - good to know, before you get a new girlfriend to give you a...

    Maggie Valley, NC August 7th-9th

    Maybe too early for this, but gotta a suggestion for a ride one day. Hit The Rattler on the way to Greenville, TN where there are lots of good places to eat. Continue north on 70 to Rogersville and then do some select portions of Copperhead Road. It's been a while since I've ridden it, but...
