  1. Accessory Power

    Chaps Just bought a satnav with a Triumph power lead on it (off a Sprint ST). I understand that there are spare power source 'plugs' somewhere near the front of the bike to plug things like heated grips and foglamps into. To save me taking the front end apart when I only need to lift a...

  2. Getting old shocks off

    Chaps Sorry to appear a bit of a wimp, but anyone have any tips on getting the rear shocks off without resorting to using a puller?

  8. Sticky Throttle

    Chaps On waving my thanks to a car driver who pulled over to let me pass today, I noticed that the throttle did not close when I took my hand off. Any previous history of this on the R3 and, if so, what is the common place to look/fettle to free it off? Thanks Pete
