    Good Bye Mr. Sport Bike

    Coming home from work Monday I noticed two head lights closing some distance rather fast. I was running 70mph. I down shifted to 4th gear, and as the first bike slowed down and pulled along side me he look at me as I looked at him and I opened up 147 foot lbs of torque and 138hp on him and I...

    Left Turn Signals

    Riding home from work today I noticed my left turn signals stopped working. After dinner I did a little trouble shooting. It looks like the flasher is always hot with the igniton turned on. When you select turn signals it provides power from the flasher and then you have turn signals. I have...

    Want to see a mess?

    I know it's not Triumph related but here is a picture of my KTM 560 SMR supermoto. The right main crank bearing failed Running the Snake between Shady Valley and Mountain City TN. I'm so deep into this bike I'll have to keep it forever!!

    A/F Gauge

    I purchased a Innovate A/F DB Gauge w/ LC-1 wideband & O2 sensor and finally figured out how and where to mount the gauge. I'm hoping to get it wired and operational this weekend. I'm going to use it to fine tune my Dobeck tuner. I'll keep you guys posted.

    Sunday is Tire Change Day

    One would think that you should get more than 5300 miles on a front tire. I'm done with my favorite brand of tires (metzler) for use on my R3. I'm hoping the Avon has better wear. I'm wondering if having a car tire on the rear makes the front tire wear faster. I'll have to think about that for a...

    New Garage Toy

    I ran across a deal on a Handy bike lift I couldn't pass up. It's about 310 lbs and made in the USA. It looks to be good quality. Now to see how scary it is putting the R3 on it!

    A inside look at a GiPro

    I've been having trouble with my GiPro for the last few months. It would display the wrong gears and when in neutral it would flash between N and some random gear. It would also just go completely dead. I've done a reset and went through the "learning" process with no luck. The other day it just...

    Custom Header

    I'm having a custom header made by these guys: Custom Headers Built To Your Specifications I had to send them my stock headpipe for mock up. It's going to be a 304 stainless steel equal length header that will pick up my current staintune cat bypass and pipes. I must say I'm missing not...

    No-Mar

    After mounting and balancing my own tires for 30+ years the old school way I used a friends Cycle Hill No-Mar tire changer. Wow, I was sold in a matter of minutes. Being one that does over kill on everything I went for the No-Mar Professional model. I picked it up for less than half price from a...

    Another Triple

    I added another triple to the garage (1973 Suzuki GT 550). Due to the condition and price I had to have it. It seems like yesterday when these two strokes ruled the street. It handles bad, stops poor, but makes me smile when I ride it.

    Garage Makeover

    I started redoing my garage. I installed 7 workshop lights, and in the process of putting in porcelain tile. Painting the walls will be last. It's been a long overdue remodel!!

    Balance Issues

    Has anybody had balance issues trying to balance CT's? I mounted a Toyo Proxes4 245/50/16 myself with only 100 cuss words. Please hold your applause, with no wheel damage what so ever!! I have mounted more tires than I can count and this R3 rear wheel was the worst by far. Mounting a MT on that...

    Shade Tree Bike Lift

    It was time to change the back tire so I got a little creative. I didn't have to buy anything new and it's very stable. The wife got home from work and looked at the ladder and said "is that how they do it at the bike shop". I get no respect!

    The UPS Store & One Ugly BearClaw

    The UPS Store gave me a lesson in shipping one ugly BearClaw today. I went out in the garage and pulled one ugly bearclaw from the shelf that was already wrapped with bubble wrap. Unable to find a suitable box I headed to The UPS Store for packaging and shipping. I handed one ugly bearclaw to...

    Bear claws are ugly!!!!

    To me the bear claw is ugly. It was about the only thing I didn't like about the bike. But that’s fixed now!! Not many R3's in my area. While stopped at red lights people look at my nasty air filters wondering what the hell is that.

    My Dyno Sheet

    I had my bike dyno tuned Sat. The A/F ratio looks lean, when we added more fuel the A/F ratio looked better but we lost HP and TQ. We ended up tuning for HP and TQ instead of focusing on the A/F ratio. The graph makes no sense to me, I'm wondering if the dyno had a bad O2 sensor? Comments...

    Stock headlight belongs in the trash

    What's up the stock headlight? When you adjust it on low beam the high beam is in the trees. I think it's going in the trash. I have a new rally Piaa 8012 that’s almost 8 inches in dia and it’s a dual beam. Low beam is 90W and high beam is 135. What do you guys think about using this light? Yea...

    Battery Replacement

    I went to go for a ride last Sat and the bike wouldn't start again. Only 1,300 miles on the stock battery but the bike was a left over 2007 so the battery is almost 3 years old. I have read many post here about how the stock battery sucks!! I really didn't want to mod the battery box and I...

    Dead Battery

    I had a day long bike ride planned with some of my Harley friends yesterday. I went out to start the bike and it turned over maybe once. The bike only has 1000 miles on it and I guess after sitting for five days and the 32 degress yesterday morning killed the battery. I know most people on here...
