    Oil Cap - follow on

    Well after losing my filler cap the original has arrived. To prevent this happening again this is what I came up with.......I know this is theft proof but hopefully it will stop a lose cap disappearing into the countryside. I drilled a small hole through the centre collar. Then I fed a cable...

    Stupid oil cap

    I lost my oil cap (and carbon trim) 🤬 ...... anyway still waiting for a replacement but I got a rally coming up at the weekend. So needs must - I trimmed down the plastic cover of an aerosol paint tin, lined the lip with 3M tape and hole covered. It seems pretty snug so hopefully it'll stay on...

    Sissy bar

    I've had an ongoing annoyance with the sissy bar that was fitted to my R from new. I prefer it set on the lowest setting but every time I went out the sissy bar was sitting at the top setting. Boredom got the better of me today so I had a look inside. The tab you press to move the pad was...

    Foot pegs

    Will foot pegs from any other model triumph fit the newer R3r ? Disappointed with the final on the OEM. Tbh the first Rocket I went to see was a 2020 with 6k miles on it and when I saw the wear on the pegs I thought it had been clocked. I ended up buying new but they just look grubby and worn

    Ixil

    Well it's arrived.......after much deliberation I went and bought an Ixil exhaust. My big worry was would it work with the panniers - I had my doubts. The seller assured me there would be no problem and then on one of the FB group some guy told me he did 10 days touring Spain with no issues. The...

    Ixil Exhaust

    Have anyone first hand experience of running an Ixil exhaust with factory panniers fitted ? I've contacted the seller who says there's no issue. I've contacted Ixil and they say they can't guarantee compatibility.

    Trackers

    Has anyone fitted a GPS tracker to their R3 ? I've been looking at this one https://amzn.eu/d/83lVYw9 Bike theft is a huge issue here ATM. The law won't allow the police to chase scumbags on mopeds if they're not wearing helmets !!!!!!! This obviously means that bike thieves uniform of...

    Another oil leak story

    Last week I went for a 4 hr trip on the R3. I was washing the bike after and thought I saw traces of an oil leak but I was a bit too quick with the snow foam to investigate properly. I headed out again yesterday and there's definitely oil coming from somewhere. I've read about leaks from the...

    Doomsday

    Evening all I posted a while ago about my instrument cluster cracking. Long story short I rang the dealer he said it wasn't covered. After some colourful language he told me I had to book it in for the day in 6 weeks time (2.5hr motorway trip each way and day off work and then repeat when the...

    Bluetooth

    Ok my eyes and my brain are hurting from trying to get this working. I've read loads of posts full of problems but here's my take .. .. ..... I've connected my Sena integrated 10upad to the bike, I then connect my android phone. The music song title appears on the clocks. I can skip and...

    Powder coating

    Got my first service done today and some accessories fitted. I went for panniers and think they look well on the bike. However when they're off I don't like the look of the hangers. Has anyone powder coated them black ?

    Waterproofs

    As it hasn't stopped raining since I got my new Rocket it looks like it's time to invest in new waterproof pants. I have a set of Frank Thomas textile pants which to be fair don't leave any water in but unfortunately I sweat so much in them on a long trip I may as well be wearing fishnets...
