  1. Change Fuel Filter

    the manual says to change the fuel filter at 20K. My dealer says not to bother and it looks like quite a job. Any thoughts about whether this should be done? Mike

  2. Used to be Greyrocket

    I have no idea how many of my old friends are on this forum. I ride a Grey R3 (2005) and have lost track of the forums. Can't find the old one and this might be it, but I no longer have any registration. Looked for Dave Harvey could not find him. Gary? I think you are still here. I put more my...

  3. Starting problem

    I took the Rocket for a ride through Maine this last weekend along with my friend on his BMW F650. It was a bit chilly and I ran my heated grips and I have motolights installed. As we searched for a place to stay and the air got cooler I ran the heated seat. I have never had a problem running...

  4. Infrared Thermometer question

    My wife has complaint about heat on foot from right exhaust and I want to play with shielding. Would like accurate readings and plan to buy infrared thermometer. Don't know maxiumum heat range needed. Also looking for brand recommendations. There is a lot of junk out there. thanks Mike

  5. Thought it was surge, no longer so sure

    Since the "solving" of my idle problem last year by my dealer I have had what I have described as surging issues. One is coming off idle where she bucks if you do not smooth it over with clutch work. A real jerk which drives me nuts in traffic. The other was thought of by me as a surge or...

  6. Help!!! I need a Surge of ideas

    My rocket is driving me nuts. Last year 9500 trouble free miles. This year a lousy 2k on the clock due to idle problem and now a really annoying surge. I had the idle fix installed this summer and it idles fine at about 900 rpm. However, i felt it was surging at about 1700-2300 rpm. Just...

  7. idle stall update

    I just got back from Europe and my bike trip in Scotland, I will post on that. However, picked up the Rocket which has been at dealer for the idle/stall problem. I am told it is now fixed and that Triumph has issued a technical bulletin to dealers on the issue. I checked online and could not...

  8. To Plug or Not To Plug?

    GET NEW TIRE Everything I have ever read indicates that plugging tires in general is not a good long term solution, although you will find plenty of instances where people have gone many miles with plugs. Many people do things every day that defy the odds. Still does not make the decision the...

  9. Front tire scalloping

    My bike has 9300 miles. I need not only to replace rear, but the front since it is scalloped or uneven wear. My dealer says this is due to speed which frankly makes no sense to me at all. For a rocket captain I am pretty slow. 4k of the milage was across the country and frankly the bulk of my...

  10. Brakeaway throttle cruise control review

    When I decided to take my trip across the United States I wanted some type of throttle cruise control device. I wavered between the throttlemeister, the homemade throttlemeister from the existing bar end caps, and the Brakeaway. The homemade version had the advantage of cost, the...

  11. New Corbin Fairing

    When at Sturgis I took these pictures of the new corbin windscreen mounted by Triumph on the red rocket they had their. I thought you would enjoy viewing them, that is if I manage to post them correctly. The new screen is somthing around 1100 dollars. Mike

  12. Where to buy Progressives in U.S.A. at this time

    I searched through the old posts and saw references to MAWs which I assume is Motorcycle asccessory wharehouse, did not see reference at that sight to shocks. Can I get a url from somebody for shocks. Also what is the Harley version of the 440? Thanks Mike

  13. Use Brake a way throttle control?

    has anybody had experience with the brake a way throttle lock. They tell me it will fit but I must cut flange down on grip. Do't reall want to do that. Also uses about 3/4 of inch. However, the video of the product seems pretty good, despite price. Mike

  14. throttlemeister?

    I am thinking about buying the throttlemeister. I am getting a sense that they are either incompatible with or tricky to use with the heated grip. I do have a throttle rocker to use on long trips off my Legend, but I am looking for a bit more "cruiser control" Mike

  15. Rivco Passenger boards and Corbin Beatles

    I have installed the Rivco passenger boards with the relocation arms. I just got my beatle bags and went to install them. Clealy, the lower arm is designed for the standard passenger peg. There is no clearance let along 2 mounting points on the Rivco boards. Yet I know lots of people have...
