    Oh yeah, another oil question!

    Hello all, been awhile since i've been on but with me being finally able to get my bike on the road, quick question. Why does Triumph recommend synthetic, or semi-syn oil? My initial assumption was probably due to the long oil change interval. But is there any other reason? I need to do an...

    Headlight position/parking light

    Hey guys. Just a quick curiosity question. Has anyone powered anything off of the position/parking lamp wiring? Now with my LED headlight I have the wee bulb taped up inside on the topside of the headlight bucket, but was considering making use of that wiring. Anyone with an idea how much...

    New problem: won't start!

    Hey guys. My bike won't start. Bummer. Was about to go for supper, started the bike just fine. Idled for maybe 30 seconds then i realized i forgot to unlock my saddle bags. Shut the bike off. Unlocked the bags, went to restart it and no start. Turning the key on, the bike made all its usual...

    Minor clutch adjustment

    Hey all, hopefully just a quick question. I put on a set of Kuryakyn ISO grips and they are a bit thicker than stock. So now i find that getting into neutral is a bit of a pain. (I slid the grip off as the glue failed and have no issues putting it in neutral with just the handlebar) Which end...

    New headlight lens cover :(

    So took my bike out for the first ride of the season and noticed I now need a new headlight lens cover. Over the winter I started my bike a couple of times, and without even thinking about it, never fully removed the bike cover. I just sort of draped it over the front of the bike. Without...

    What kind of_____do you prefer? Looking for options.

    Hey all. With spring coming (thinking positive) I'm looking forward to doing its 2nd oil change. I've been using Redline 10w40 bike oil but found after about 6000km on the oil, it's a bit tricky to get into neutral and the shifts are not quite as smooth as when the oil was fresh. This i find...

    Auxiliary lights on R3T

    Hey all. I looked around online but can't seem to find my answer and my owners manual doesn't seem to say. What wattage are the factory auxiliary lights? Had one burn out already. My local parts store has 55 and 100w bulbs but these seem high to me. My Kawasaki voyagers auxiliary lights were...

    LED rear signal lights

    Hey all. Hopefully an easy question. I just installed a kuryakin brake module (run/brake/turn) with a load equalizer as well as a pair of Custom Dynamics LED clusters for the rear signal lights. For some reason the clusters don't light up at all. The system works fine with the regular bulbs...

    Checking the oil

    Hey all. Quick background: I recently brought my bike in for its first service, and am concerned about the amount of oil that I should have in the engine. I had purchased some Redline synthetic oil for my previous bike that I didn't end up using (bike got traded), so I provided this to the...

    Signal light issues

    Hey all. Seemed to run into a bit of an issue here. I purchased a couple of LED signal light bulbs for the rear signal lights (BAU15s), with the intent of using them with a Brake Module which is not installed. (running light, brake light, signal light). I just got the bulbs today, so just...

    Just a few questions about my new R3T.

    So I've had my R3T for a few days now. Yup, love it. Getting a thumbs up from a guy in his new Bentley was a bit of a plus. Haha. But just a few comments, questions about it. First, octane requirement. When the salesman was doing the delivery checklist with me, one item on the list was...

    The deal is done.

    Thanks for the input in my previous post so off to the dealer I went. Signed, sealed and delivered. Bought my new 2015 Touring. You guys were right. Nothing quite like it. Even riding gently for its break-in can sure tell how torquey this engine is. Have a few questions and comments but I'll...

    Potential new R3T owner

    Hello all from Canada. I'm currently in the process of purchasing a new bike and at the top of my list is a new '15 Rocket iii touring. (I almost signed the papers yesterday, but decided to wait a couple days) I've poked around online to do a bit of research on the bike but was hoping to get...
