    Replacing Coolant Temp sensor

    Has anyone done this? It appears as though I have to remove the throttle bodies and oil tank to do this. Is there anything specific I need to know outside what the service manual states? It sdoes not explain how to do this but it seems obvious that the oil tank has to be removed, which seems to...

    Fried headlight pigtail

    This morning on the way to work i noticed I had no headlights. Upon inspection I found that the pigtail that plugs into my right headlight was melted. One of the wires was corroded at the pigtail and crusted in green. Is it safe to assume that the connector failed and melted due to corrosion so...

    *on the road* "Popping on Decelleration"

    I just rode into Phoenix and noticed that my bike is popping during deceleration much more that before. I leave at noon tomorrow and have to ride back to Albuquerque. Any ideas as to what is causing this? Its at 2007 Classic Tourer. It runs perfectly otherwise. Any thoughts would help. Thanks!

    Loose ignition switch

    Yesterday I tried to remove my key from the ignition and realized it was more difficult that usual. Upon closer inspection I realized that the entire switch was loose inside the triple tree. I plan on tearing into it soon but was wondering if anyone had any advice that might help me deal with...

    Installing Triumph Front Dresser Bars

    So i have in hand my shiny new dresser bars and hope to install them tomorrow. The instructions tell me that I need to support the engine before removing the engine mounting bolts and attaching the bars. Being a man I always look for shortcuts, but not being an idiot I fully realize the...

    Seat Cushion advice needed

    In a little over a month I'll be on a 9 day ride. I realize after the second day I'll be needing some Novacaine for my ass unless I get a seat cushion. I looked at Airhawk seat cushions and felt like they would be perfect but would also leave me needing Novacaine for my ass because the price...

    Communication between riders

    My GF and I are interested in a communication system that can be used so we can communicate while we are riding (on separate bikes). Hopefully we can find a system that will allow us to listen to music but also speak to each other as we are riding. Any experience or suggestion you may have about...

    Installing Heated Grips?

    I recently purchased a pair of heated Triumph grips for my 2007 Tourer. There were removed from a salvage bike with 2,000 miles on it. What I received was the two grips with a wire extending from each one with a metal circle connector on the end, and the thermostat with a cord and multiwire plug...

    Really strange sound this morning....

    I have a totally stock 07 R3 classic Tourer. On my way to work this morning I was only a block or so from home, riding at about 20 mph in 2nd gear (could have possibly been accelerating a bit after a turn in the road) when I hear a sound that I can describe as a cross betreen a "pop" and a...
