  1. Sudden Oil Leak

    Ok so, after 32k happy miles, on Sunday the R3 suddenly sprung a fairly serious oil leak from what appears to be the front / left side of the rocker cover, this was accompanied by a 'burning tyre' smell. Got oil all over the headers, my leg, etc. Checked rocker cover bolts - TIGHT. Any...

  2. Front indicator - irked!

    Any of you experience this?! My R3 has 25k on the clock now, never been down... kept in a garage when not out playing... I noticed last week while polishing / cleaning that the left hand front indicator appeared 'a bit loose', but when I checked, the nut was tight... so polishing again this...

  4. F / L Switch - TunECU

    Ok so Powertripp nicely explained what the difference between the F & L table are, but... Is the switching from F to L or from L to F as I am thinking at whatever value I put in the "F L switching table? Cheers, John.

  5. Triumph stepped up to the plate.

    As some of you may recall, some clumsy oaf (keeping it PG13 He he) recently broke one of my lower wind deflectors when the bike was parked...:mad: Well, long story short, the dealers only supply the complete replacement kit ($150) which I was not about to buy, so I called Triumph USA.... After...

  6. Where? Lower wind deflectors

    Hi Guys, some knob broke one of my lower wind deflectors when the Rocket was parked today...:mad: Can anyone tell me where I can get a replacement plastic piece from, I am going on a road trip Friday, so I need to get one ASAP. Cheers, John.

  7. What's wrong?

    Ok so I have downloaded a few maps to the ECU so far, no problems.... I put a 7% speedo correction on all of them and it worked great, speedo read slightly lower than the GPS (which works for me)... Now, this weekend I did a 'reset adaptives' and downloaded a tune again - my speedo is back to...

  8. Stealership for 10k service, or?

    Morning all, my R3 is now due for its 10k service, I still have a year of warranty to run. Do you think I should take it into the dealers for the 10k or just my usual place? Opinions and reasons please - I need to decide if spending all that money by going the dealer root has any real merit /...

  9. What fuel / air ratio?

    Has anyone done any research regarding fuel air ratios and changing them? I am wondering if the cruise can be leaned a little to improve economy without risk of engine damage and if there are any changes that can be made to increase power at wider throttle openings? I know a lot of you do dyno...

  10. Removed lower deflectors - ok, or?

    Ok, so summer is a coming in Arizona, so I removed the lower wind deflectors from my forks, but left my Clearview on in an attempt to get some airflow whilst retaining the benefit of a screen.... I took it for a quick 30 mile test ride - I was AMAZED at the amount of difference it made.... So...

  11. What trousers (pants)?

    Ok so here is a chance to share your opinions, so don't be shy (fat chance! :P LOL)... I am in Arizona - it gets 115+ here in the summer, well over 100 for weeks at at time.... I want to get some armored or at least abrasion resistant trousers to wear this summer (so NOT over trousers), pref...

  12. What Dyno readings?

    Hi Guys, I am having the bike put on the dyno on Saturday as I am pretty certain I am NOT getting all the power I should be.... My question is this: Bog standard, what kind of readings should I expect from the dyno? Being as this is real world power measured at the rear wheel, obviously it...

  13. Glowing hot pipes??

    Evening all, just a quick question - I have noticed if I run my Rocket at a couple of k revs or higher for 30 seconds or so, my down pipes / collector glow orange hot - is this normal, or? Cheers!

  14. "sticking" back brake - smoked pads, cooked disc...

    Good afternoon Captains... I have a question, but first a bit of background to frame it for you. I rarely used my rear brake other than when doing tight slow speed turns, coasting to a light hoping it will change, or holding me still on a hill... I had been under the impression (from hearing a...
