    2025 R3 Storm

    the wires aren't cheap, but they come as a kit [purchased separately]. I think there's 4 wires and 2 braided lines

    2025 R3 Storm

    I've got the extended cables and thought I could tilt the touring bars to get them comfortable.

    2025 R3 Storm

    The passenger backrest, luggage rack with the detachable luggage and mounting hardware are installed. Installing the luggage hardware directions came up online first so I installed it first only to have to remove everything to install the backrest hardware first and then reinstall the luggage...

    2025 Storm ECU questions...

    It would make sense that part of euro5 compliance is a locked ecu, that said BT moto is removing more factory restrictions on our newer bikes.

    Got the werkes exhaust

    So, for us 2025 owners, are we using the full exhaust or slip on? did you notice a lack of midrange grunt.

    Is it Fast?

    bump, My first saturday with my new 2025 R3r Storm and the bike got plenty of attention. It seemed most of the folk chatting me up arrived in cages, not bikes and when they ask if it's fast I'd just say it's not sport bike fast, but the way it pulls from 80-140 mph sure feels fast.

    Here is a story.

    I'd love to know how much maintenance entailed keeping your R3 on the road so long? I'm currently turning my R3r Storm into a touring machine and it would be great to have some idea.

    Triumph Panniers

    While it's easy to re key the cylinder locks it takes time and you will need spare shims. I thought it was a nice touch that triumph included the keyed locksets, which I found today installing my new bags.

    Found a solution to my big ugly backrest

    Well done. I sold my GTL when wife said she was done and went back to an R3 for my solo touring. Can't lie, i'll miss the comfort of the K1600, but the R3 engine has a way about it that makes a rider forget about the farkles.

    2.5 using oil

    OK, you guys lost me talking about the 'good ol days' regarding the oil sight glass as I'm clearly seeing a sight glass on the left side of my bike as I'm sure ya'll are also aware of I guess the message is the sight glass is worthless?

    Adventure to a 2023 2.5 Liter Rocket 3 GT

    I think I sold you the update kit for 1 of your 2300's a few years back. I demoed an R3r with the Werks exhaust on it, the paint looked like the 21 year but dealer had it marked as a 22 with around 5300 miles on it. I loved the sound it made, but it did feel a little weak in the middle. After...

    Stopping on a heavy bike.

    That's my take on it also. Without a witness that could confirm that she put it in reverse without even being aware does leave me at the mercy of sop.

    2025 R3 Storm

    Touring handlebars on the 'R' model? Has anyone done it yet and should I hire somebody or can it be done without special skills/tools?

    Stopping on a heavy bike.

    I'm done being sick now, coming home from the gym yesterday an old lady [when I call a lady old she's old] did an old lady thing at intersection and I bumped her rear bumper at a couple mph. I lost balance and went down while this OL still in her condition has her car in reverse and begins to...

    Vinyl Wrap?

    That bike looks great

    Tried HD Breakout and it reminded me of my Rocket 3 GT

    There's no denying how great a high torque engine feels on the street. Like a GS1250 if a rider doesn't spend much time above 110 mph or so that rider will likely never notice the hp lagging behind, at least not until a real SB shows up.

    X-Country And Back

    Wow, a +7000 mile ride without windscreen in spring storms is serious riding! I didn't notice if you were using stock seat? it can get a bit personal the way it sinks in.
