    Loose Plug Wires Question?

    Doing maintenance and decided to check/change the plugs while I had the tank off. All six plug wires were loose on the plugs. I know that isn't uncommon, but for those who've had this happen, do they come loose again, or once they're on tight do they stay? I'm wondering if this is just an...

    New Lithium Battery That Fits!?!

    I've had Lithium batteries in all of my bikes for the last 10 years and absolutely love them. As has been discussed, there isn't one that fits this bike that doesn't have an absurdly low capacity - 6ah. I just stumbled across this one: EarthX ETX36C It seems to be the right size (with the...

    AIS - Reed Valve Location?

    This seems like such an obvious question, but before tearing apart the bike, has anyone done the AIS blockoff? https://smartmoto-electronics.com/installation-ais-valve-removal-kit-triumph-rocket-3-en Where are the reeds (and new plates) located, and what do I have to do to access them? The...

    12v Constant under screen housing

    I know there's switched ACC power under the windscreen housing at the front of the bike (DIN connector), but is there constant 12v? The RiderNav Carplay/AndroidAuto screen I am mounting requires both. I'd rather not have to take the tank off.

    Another Rear Fender

    I posted about my custom bag solution here: https://www.r3owners.net/threads/custom-bags.54435/ I struggled with the look of the rear plate holder and fender, especially with my bags. The engineer in me also struggled with 5lbs of unsprung weight cantilevered off the back of the swing arm...

    Factory Electrical Connectors?

    Does anyone know what type of electrical connectors Triumph uses and/or where to get them? I'm integrating my plate a turn signals into my custom bags and removing the factory hanger. I do not want to cut factory wiring if I don't have to. thanks

    Odometer Error?

    I know our bikes speedometers are REALLY off. Mine is a full 10%, which sounds like normal for most people here. I saw a post where someone hinted that the ODO wasn't off. Has anyone measured? Anyone driven some highway miles with mile markers and compared to the ODO? I've always assumed my...

    4000 RPM Audible Vibration?

    I'm guessing this is an issue that is uniquely mine, but I thought I'd see if anyone else has had this. My bike has a audible vibration from about 3900 rpm to about 4300 rpm. From my perspective, it sounds like its coming from the dash, but that can be deceiving inside a helmet. I've removed...

    For Sale Sold - Rocket 3 Pannier Mount Kit

    I had the dealer throw these in when I bought the bike, then decided I didn't want the factory panniers. They were mounted by the dealer, then removed by me. Never carried a load and only saw one ride before removing. Like New. $275 shipped (in the US) Part Number A9518172

    USB not working?

    Before I start tearing apart the rear end of my bike, are there any common failure points (fuse, connector, etc) for the rear cubby USB port? Tried mine for the first time and there's no power out of it. Everything else on the bike works fine including the front DIN plug.

    For Sale SOLD - OBDSTAR ISCAN Triumph Diagnostic Scanner

    I bought this because my local Triumph dealer wanted crazy $$$ to program some new keys for my GT. This worked well for that, but I just don't have any other real use for it. So you get it new in box for over $100 off. $269 shipped, anywhere in the USA. In fact, I just got it though before...

    My attempt to make the GT an actual GT

    I’m sure there’s something here for everyone to hate. Here are my efforts to make the GT a real GT: First, I despise every aftermarket windscreen for this bike. WHY would we use the number plate mounting for a real screen? They all look stupid and none are really functional. My normal...

    Key and FOB reprogramming

    Sorry if this has been answered before. Couldn't come up with anything through search. I only have the fob, not spare keys and that scares me. I ordered two spares keyed to my bike and that was a super PITA. Now I have to get them programmed. Am I correct in assuming there's no other way...

    Another Crash Bar Question? (GT with QS)

    Ok, so I ordered some crash bars from Big A (shipped from China). They looked good and decent build quality. Right one fit nicely, but the left side was a total no-go. The Lower bracket was a solid interference with the forward controls and specifically the shift linkage. I can't imagine...

    Custom Bags

    Just sharing my attempt at bags (panniers). For a lot of reasons, I hate the triumph bags. I have a decent shop, including a TIG welder, so this might not be a solution for everyone. Appearance is subjective, so even though I love how these turned out, you might hate them. My objectives...

    GT Brake Lever Height?

    Before I take everything apart, I thought I'd see if anyone has dealt with this. I find the brake lever is too high (even with the adjuster fully in). I have to rest my foot beside the lever to keep from riding the rear brake. Has anyone dealt with this? I thought about grinding the adjuster...

    Issues with 2020 model?

    I pick up my new to me GT this week. I wasn't really looking for a first year model, but this one came up close to home, with low miles (5000) and like new condition. As I OVER think the process, I realize I went from looking at 2023s to a 2020, which is the first year. Rear master has been...

    Want to Buy FOUND - Stock Exhaust

    I'm looking to do something similar to the Meerkat mod on my 2020 GT. I'd prefer to experiment with another exhaust so I can keep riding my bike. Anyone with slip-ons have the stock system taking up space in their garage and want to sell it at a reasonable price?

    Vinyl Wrap?

    Has anyone Vinyl wrapped a Rocket 3? After a long search (there's not many here in CA USA) I found a decent deal, but hate the paint scheme. I've wrapped bikes in the past, and I know each tank has it's own challenges. Anyone have any hints?
