    Wierd idle issues

    First of all... it's been a few years (and a divorce) since I've been on the forum. I still have my Rock and right now having a little bit of an idle issue. Here's what's happening... 2008 R3 Standard with 52K miles. Owing to a nasty leg injury (jet skiing) I was off the bike for about 14...

    Identifying idiot lights

    I have a light illuminated on my 2008 Rocket III standard. It looks like a little picture of an engine. I thought it was for coolant but that appears to be topped off just fine. Oil is fine too. Does anyone know what that light is supposed to be telling me? Karl PS - It's been at least a few...

    Rear end problems... HELP!!!

    And no, I don't mean problems with my ass... Here's the situation. I'll try to give a brief and then as much of a detailed description as I can. Brief: I can hear the back tire spinning as though there is no oil in the final drive. Details: As I ride, I can hear what sounds like that...

    Head lamps vs Auxiliary lights.

    After mounting my auxiliary lights right next to the head lamps I can see just what crap the Triumph head lamps really are. The auxiliary are a nice, bright "white" light, but the head lamps are a dingy, dirty-mustard color and not nearly as bright. Without going to an HID setup are there any...

    Turn signal mounting

    I was tinkering again... and discovered that the left-front turn signal sits farther out from the bike than the right-front turn signal. By a bit more than a half inch!!!!! I noticed this after mounting my auxiliary lights to the top of the turn signal mounting arms. It throws off the balance...

    Could it just be my shifter?

    This past week I posted about my thinking that I may need the upgrade kit. In that thread GeekLaw said something that got me thinking. He made reference to shifting problems and that he at first thought was just him being clumsy. So I started paying better attention to the physical action my...

    Triumph Oval Mirrors

    Got a gift card for the local Triumph dealer and spent it on a new set of Triumph Oval Mirrors. Rushed home to remove the originals and install the new ones. Should have been a 5 minute job..... 1. There's a hex-head screw on the underside of the housing that holds the mirrors in. Having...

    R3 Tip-over kill-switch

    I seem to remember a mention or two about there being a kill-switch built into the R3 that will turn off the engine in the event of a tip-over. Is this true? If so where it is? If so how does one test it without actually tipping the bike over? Inquiring minds want to know. Karl

    Headlight replacement bulbs

    Couple questions on these: 1. Are they simply plug-n-play or are there any additional requirements like a balast os anything like that? 2. Are they any good? 3. Any similarly priced alternatives that someone would recommend? http://newr3.com/html/xenon_headlights.html

    Gas tank removal

    I have a project that will require pulling the gas tank off the R3 standard (2008). I've never done this before and I heard somewhere that the fuel pump is actually inside the tank. Does this present any additional considerations? Also, if there is a recommended process for this I'd...

    Washers on sump plugs ???

    Hey Steve, I have an 08 Standard R3. When I changed my oil each of the sump plugs had the crush washers. The manual said to "replace" them. Which means they should have been there to begin with. Don't know if it causes problems without though. Karl

    An outstanding online store

    Let me start by saying that I'm a complete dork! Okay so... yesterday I ordered a part from eBay store Gengras-Motorcycles. And within an hour I had received the shipping confirmation complete with the UPS tracking number. Then I learned that I had ordered the wrong part. And of course...
