    Low Idle Stall

    So I had my first mechanical issue with the Rocket. The engine began to idle very slowly while I was stopped in traffic in 1st gear - almost sounded like it was running out of gas - and then died. I pressed the ignition and all was fine and off I went. Exact same thing happened next day...

    Pazzo Levers

    Any experience with Pazzo levers? I would like the levers on the Rocket to be just a tad closer to the grips than the closest setting allows. Was thinking of going with a Pazzo set up but only if Captains have some good things to say. They come in 2 sizes - standard and shorty. Would...

    Best/Worst and Future Mods

    Having just installed the Stebel horn which is the last mod I plan to do this year on the Rocket (I'll leave the Progressive forks to the dealer) - I started thinking about which mods I have been most, and least, pleased with and what I still want to do. Would love to hear what other Captains...

    Favourite Mods Feedback!

    Having just completed the Stebel horn mod I'm in a contemplative mood as I have now completed most (but not all) of the mods I set out to do with the Rocket. It makes me consider what mods I am most (and least) pleased with and what I still want to do. Love to hear what other Captains think of...

    Stebel Terminals

    Finally getting around to installing the Stebel now that I have some room after putting in the triples. Quick question - does anyone remember or know which stock horn wire is negative? There are two prongs that connect to the stock horn. 1 prong is made up of 2 wires(black and blue) while...

    Dyno Results

    The beast is officially unleashed. Did the triples, Jardines, PC5 and removed secondaries. Just got her back from the dyno last night and a complete thrill to ride. No more decel popping as I had with the TORS and whatever map the dealer had installed. I initially installed the PC5 stock...

    Rim Cleaning Tips

    What are people doing to really clean and polish up the front and rear rims. Mine have brake dust and a white powdery looking residue that can't be taken off with regular cleaning. Any suggestions on good cleaning products that won't damage the finish of the rims? And, are Rocket rims made of...

    Power Commander Map

    Finally!!! I spent every night of this week working on the Rocket and now have the PC5, triple filters and Jardines installed and secondaries removed. Love the looks, love the sound, love the feel and cannot wait to open her up! I downloaded the stock PC5 map which says "K & N, Jardines...

    Exhaust Leak!

    Finally started the Rocket this morning! Looks like I have an exhaust leak coming from the bung where the oxygen sensor used to be and where I have placed the bung that Jardine supplies. Should I just torque this more? Should the bung be totally inserted into the pipe so no threads are...

    Bear Claw Over Triple Filters

    I'm sure this is somewhat ridiculous but fitting the bear claw over the triple filters seems next to impossible. The overflow tank has not been removed. I have turned the 3rd filter at an angle as described in other threads. Perhaps someone can explain how snug the fit should be. Should the...

    Jardine Sealant Question

    I'm wondering how many of you used the hi temp sealant Jardine recommends b/w the right side pipe and header and b/w the right and left side pipes. I found the connection b/w the right side pipe and header to be fairly loose so I was able to put the sealant there. However, the connection b/w...

    Fork Oil Advice

    I'm having Progressive springs installed this weekend. Any suggestions on fork oil? Triumph manual suggests 0W in specs section and recommends 5W in the front suspension section. I was thinking maybe going up a tad to a 10W for better handling. Any thoughts?

    PC5 Question

    I'm just in the process of installing the PC5 and then will do the filters and exhaust next - in that order. I noticed that the PC5 maps do not have anything that corresponds to my current setup which is TORS + under the seat K & N. Also, there is a pre-loaded map for Jardines + K & N but...

    Suspension Heaven!

    Just had my first ride after installing the Progressive 440 rears and what a night and day difference! Each bump was literally bone jarring on the stock suspension and it was so stiff I had to fight the bike to stay leaning in corners. Now, especially when cornering, it's like I'm gliding...

    Saddlebag Embellishers

    I'm sticking those Triumph saddlebag embellishers on my saddlebags. The instructions say to use a 3 mm leather punch to punch 2 holes in each bag in order to mount the embellishers. I don't have a leather punch. Any suggestions on other ways to make these 2 holes while not damaging the...

    Jardine Install Article

    Here is an interesting article I dug up which provides an install how-to for the Jardines with pictures. Claim a nearly 15 hp and 9 lb ft torque gain versus stock exhaust + cat. http://www.roadbikemag.com/downloads/Installations/Triumph%20Rocket%20Jardine%20Exhaust.pdf

    Stebel Horn Mounting Position

    When I first bought the Stebel Horn some time ago I was stimied when I discovered that the left side cover and an evap canister under it and the Stebel would not fit. Since then - I separated the plastic horn attachment from the metal canister to find new creative ways to fit the horn in a...

    V4A.eu Site

    Anyone have experience with the German site below? I e-mailed them to order some stuff and received no response. Then called them and talked to a guy who I believe to be the owner but he didn't speak English. He handed off to his buddy who spoke broken English and they said they would e-mail...

    Jardine Install

    So after a great deal of humming and hawing I've finally decided to bite the bullet and go for the Jardines. My question is - what is the difficulty level for installing the Jardines yourself? I'm not the most mechanically gifted but I have the tools and know how to follow instructions. Any...

    Rivco Solo Rack

    I was thinking of ordering the Rivco Solo Rack. Just wondering about practicality. What type of solo rack bags are other Captains actually attaching to it? Will order it if I can at least attach an over night bag to it. Will likely not order if it is just useless bling. Thanks.
