    DIY Ignition Switch Repair - Get home, Keep Your Locks!

    First off - I am no expert, I assume no liability for this information, this is simply documenting what I did in hopes that it may help you. I'll first post the hotwire I did almost two years ago. It got me home, but this does not turn on your headlights, turn signals, or brake lights. I'm...

    URGENT broken down on the road

    Fixed: URGENT broken down on the road On a road trip and broken down. Need to get running. The story so far: Stopped to look up directions after a construction reroute. Everything was running fine, hot day (I'm in SE Florida just outside Ft Lauderdale). Went to start back up and nothing, no...

    Last chance free stuff - Buffalo, NY

    I'm moving to Florida and not taking my extra parts. I've got a set of never used stock pipes, all the stock intake parts, a tall windscreen (plastic only, no hardware), stock seat (front and rider), stock bearclaw. No catch, I will not ship, if nobody picks them up in the next two days the...

    Buffalo, NY Free stuff

    I posted in the classifieds but of course nobody ever looks there. I'm moving and have stuff in my garage to get rid of. Time is short before a big move across country so I'm not spending time to sell anything, just come and pick it up and it's yours. I will also not ship anything (sorry, a...

    Won't start - need advice

    Haven't dug into it yet but I'm currently living at a hotel (out doing some military duties and no barracks) so my resources are limited. I'm hoping someone can point me in the right direction. The bike was left out with a cover on for the first time and I had signs of heavy condensation. Turn...

    Gripes, pet peeves and riddles

    What makes bikers think that a sidewalk is an acceptable place to park? Hey Harley guy, why the heck do you blip your throttle at the stoplight? Don't people know that revving your bike when you first start it up is bad for the engine? Shorts on a sports bike - dumb, shorts on a cruiser...

    They DO exist!

    Finding another R3 around here has become kind of like the hunt for Sasquatch. You hear from other people who claim to have seen one and every now and then I find trace evidence of one (mechanic had a 240R16 tire from one), but today I finally witnessed one in person. She was a nice pearl/red...

    Could've sucked bad

    So life dealt me a job that doesn't allow me to take the bike to work very often. Because of this I don't use it for a daily rider or trips to the store, and with that my routine becomes a matter of pulling it out of the garage on a weekend morning, take it to the station to fuel up and head out...

    WTF is going on in this country (US)?

    Last week we had to hear about "Spring Spheres". I thought that was just incredibly stupid, PC gone too far, now it seems that even Superman has had enough: "For more than 70 years Superman has fought for "Truth, Justice and the American Way." Not anymore. Superman will renounce his United...

    SpeedTV features Triumph tonight

    In case anyone is in the same boat as me, too **** cold to ride so I'm left home to watch other people ride.

    Snow? Seriously?!

    Mother Nature, it's April 18th in case you forgot to check your calendar! I realize it's Buffalo but c'mon, this is getting stupid. I had the bike out once this year, back in March, took it to the dealer for it's 20k service and it snowed 10" the day after it got back, haven't been out again...

    PCIII with non-standard tune in ECU

    The dyno tuners around here aren't exactly tech-savvy so I've had to go the PCIII route, installed it today but it occured to me that I have my maps wrong. I currently have a modified Jardine+3K&N in the ECU and the stock that came with PCIII, I downloaded the Jar and triple K&N for PCIII but it...

    Is it just me or is the R3 appreciating in value?

    I've been checking ads lately for a friend of mine who is looking for a R3 and I'm not seeing the same deals I found last year when I was looking. A year ago I came across several bikes in the $6-7,000 range (paid $6,500 for mine, '06 w/ 14k miles), now you can't find anything under $7,500...

    Trip through New England, the Maritimes and East CA

    This is a carry over from the earlier thread "R3 and gravel highways?", some other people had expressed interest in the idea so I thought I'd provide some details of what I'm planning. I'm looking to start this in June but nothing definite at this point, if not then it will have to be July...

    R3 and gravel highways?

    So I'm in the planning and decision phase of my next adventure this summer. One of the routes I was considering is a ride through New England and Eastern Canada. It seems like some beautiful country and one heck of an adventure but I'm quite concerned about a 750lb bike with a 240 rear tire...

    Ice track -any advice?

    Friend of a friend heard I'm a crazy motorcycle rider (people tend to assume things when they hear you ride an R3, totally wrong I swear!) and invited me to come out and take a ride on his ice track racer. I would never refuse such an intriguing offer but I hate being unprepared. Anyone here...

    Ergonomics finally right, whew!

    As with many folks here (assumed from the number of posts on this topic) I have been struggling with the ergonomics since day one. The bike (06 standard) was fine for short runs but anything over an hour and I would have back pain for the rest of the day. First step was to loosen up the shocks a...
