    Battery & Headlights

    I have two Rockets and I have noticed that the batteries (both new) seem a little on the small size and don't seem to spin the engines very fast or long, compared to my Goldwing & my previous Yamaha XS1100. Their motors are smaller but they have bigger batteries. I plan to order a 12V, 10...

    Transmission questions

    The '07 Rocket III that I bought a couple of months ago had a problem of what felt like jumping out of 2nd gear, or not going fully into 2nd if accelerating hard. I finally got around to taking the engine out and apart to see what I was hoping to be an obvious problem. After disassembly it...

    Jardine exhaust

    I recently bought an '07 Rocket III which has a Jardine exhaust. Not being familiar with these, I was looking for where the O2 sensor is and can't find one. I see a port that has a plug in it but can't find the sensor. What gives? Am I blind or??? Thanks for any help.

    An R3 project tale

    A few weeks ago I was looking for a bike project in an attempt to fight boredom in retirement and saw an '05 R-III on Craigslist. It had been partially disassembled by the owner who was investigating "a tick" in the motor. Upon getting it home, I discovered that as the crank was turned it would...

    I'm a long time cyclist who just bought a project 2005 R3 with an engine tick. Previous owner started troubleshooting but got stalled & engine is partially disassembled. I currently own a '95 Yamaha Virago 750 and a '96 Honda Goldwing 1500 as daily drivers. I hope the R3 will become one...
