    R3T final drive splines

    My R3T has just turned 35K miles and I know I'm gonna have to do rear tire this winter. I service the splines on the final drive and trans output each time I do a rear tire which is usually every 6-8K miles. The splines have been getting steadily worse each time I service ( I always use the...

    Detent spring, or trans update?

    Hello all! Had the 08 R3T out for her spring shakedown run and am depressed. About 35-40 miles into the ride, coming into a shallow turn, I downshifted to 4th and as it deceled it slipped into neutral. I thought nothing of it, assuming I hadn't given it a positive kick. It happened repeatedly...

    Cam tensioner blues

    I know this topic has been beat to death, but I gotta get this off my chest. WTF is up with the timing chain wear? At 25k miles I started to hear the intermittent "click-click" and I checked the tensioner depth which was at 17.2mm. I installed the spacer and tried it for another 500 miles and...

    Anyone play with the PCV ignition module?

    I'm considering the 6-103 ignition module for the PCV. I was under the impression that the new PCV could do ignition mapping, but that apparently is only for the twins (after reading the fine print).:(:( At this point I don't know if the benefits would justify the additional $360 for the...

    Lost Clutch..suddenly

    See if this sounds like anything you gurus have encountered. Had the 08 Touring out for nice cruise yesterday,,, headed north into the adirondacks, trying to avoid all the mess cruising into the Americade in Lake George. Approached an intersection near Northville and as I pulled clutch...

    Downtown Lake George NY........no traffic, three of us with wives, two Horleys, one R3T, one not so cool kiddo with mustang and ugly GF. He had loud pipes and wanted to let the Horleys no he could make noise too!!! We tolerated him for three stop lights,,then my bud touched off his street glide...

    Tips on Audio System anyone?

    My wife has suggested we put some sort of system on the bike for our longer trips. I'm not a fan of the front fairing (bat wing) so I'm not going that route. Has anyone fitted a windshield mount system? Motorcycle tunes and Twisted Audio are two that I looked into. I don't see why either...

    R3 Metric?????

    I get kinda pissed when I go into my dealer (HD & Triumph) and the parts guy sends me to the "Metric" end of the counter. Soooo... the last time this happened (yesterday) I just stood there and looked at him and asked him just what part of my Triumph was MORE METRIC than the Harley on the floor...

    Touring&Roadster...same exhaust box..

    If any of you are still wondering how the comparison of the two exh boxes came out....they are identical...right down to the stamped numbers on them. Both have the same inlet size and both have the same outlet size. (Thanks to mully95 who took the time to measure up the box he took off of his...

    Final Drive...do it now!

    I bought my 08 R3touring in aug of last year with only 4500miles on it. The rear tire was REALLY squared off and about illegal. The bike came with a new Metz tire but I wanted to go to a larger tire (wider). Anyway,,,,no takers on the tire, so I mounted it and will proceed to demolish it in...

    Exhaust box GONE!!

    I finally had time to get the exhaust finished up. I can't remember when and where i posted the pics of the original crossover box,,,,but it was a POS as far as flow. I am not totally happy with the outcome, but it is a major improvement over the BOX. I bought mandrel bent tubing but the real...

    GIPro w/ ATRE,,,,DLC use??

    I am considering the GIPro but I see it utilizes the Data link Connector (DLC). I have been using the Scangauge and keep it permanently mounted on the bike, but it too uses the DLC. Has anyone tried to splice into the data circuit(s) and use two devices at the same time??? I know in automotive...

    Touring exhaust box

    Well, I'm committed now........bought myself some mandrel bent tubing and then hacked off the LH connector pipe. (I plan to re-use this portion of the setup) I already knew the inlet was a restriction, but I had no idea what the inlet did inside the box. After the LH pipe was amputated I was...

    "Y" pipe for touring?

    After completing my airbox mods, and with several more week before I can ride again, I'm looking at that exhaust box and wondering how restrictive it really is. Does anyone know if there is a connector/Y-pipe from any of the performance vendors?? I like the look of the Dual D&D pipes that I have...

    airbox....finished product

    It hasn't had an official road test yet, but I have had it running and I'm glad I put the insulation/sound deadener on the airbox. Prior to this, I ran it and you could hear a thrumming sound, which I could change by placing my hand on the back of the airbox (which is the largest flat sheet of...

    Corrosion on lower fork tubes

    My 08 has (had) corrosion under the clear coat on the lower fork tubes. I did finally find a product that will remove the clear coat without damage to the aluminum. The product is Martin Senour Paints #6802. However, it will not even begin to work until you heat both the fork tube and the...

    O2 sensor/tuners

    I am very familiar with automotive tune programs and have used several different brands, some good, some not so good. It seems as if the group on this forum favors the PCV. I have no preference at this point because I'm just doing a little research. My question is this: Which...

    Scratch-built airbox

    This project actually began because I wanted to use the stock airbox for my amp. After looking over the filter/airbox possibilities available for the R3T I decided I would have to be creative. I have always preferred a symetrical look, so I started researching velocity stacks.....you know, old...

    IAT reading is skewed

    My ambient air temp, ie: intake air temp reads about 15*F. too high with key on engine off. I jumpered in a OEM gm sensor and it reads the correct temp. Has anyone else noticed this problem? I am going to relocate the sensor anyway and will use the Delco sensor because it is much more compact...
