  1. REAR TIRE/WHEEL Air VALVE Removal?

    Anyone remove one of these while tire is still on the bike or does the tire have to be removed from the rim? Apparently when the sealed my C/T to the rim . . . what ever silicone they used to make that seal has now clogged up my tire valve and even with the stem out you can't get any air in...

  4. R3 Captains that have had Drive Lines Rebuilt?

    Hey guys . .. curious if there is any pattern to these problems arising from too much traction or weight on board. How many of you guys are really heavy . .. say over 250lbs. or carry pillions on a regular basis. With this much torque . . . the additional weight has to cause more bind on...
  5. REAR OUTPUT SHAFT BEARING GOING?

    Just took the R3 out for a nice evening ride to eat. I've been noticing a little roughness and clicking coming from the drive line the past yew days. I coasted down the driveway when we got back the engine off and in neutral and there is definitely something unnatural going on in there. Hope...
  6. New Jards-Dyno results

    Need to richen it up just a bit in the lower RPM range and throttle positions . . . oh . . . you bought PCIII . . . sorry . . . don't know too much about that module. Someone can probably tweak your PCIII to get that POPing out.
  7. Rivco Risers

    I just bought a set of these from a fellow R3 Captain that wasn't the original installer. Does anyone remember what was involved in swapping out the Rivco Risers from the stock set up? Any cable rerouting I should be aware of while doing this mod? Thanks, Gary :D
  8. New Front Rubber running Dark Side?

    Anyone have suggestions on what is wearing well on the front with darksider rears. Should I just replace the stock 150/80-R17 Metzler or go with an Avon equivalent. Thanks!
  9. R3 Headlight replacement bulbs?

    Suggestions for replacement bulbs for the stockers? Brand, wattage, links? I would like a wider pattern and more intense/brighter beam. Would be nice if the hi-beam would reach into the next county. :wink: :twisted: So what have you guys used as replacements.

    What do you guys use. CB's? What type? Handheld talkies or ? Headsets? Hand switches on bars? Whatever you are using . . . I would like to hear about it. I want to be able to communicate with my wife when we are riding our separate bikes. Not necessarily important for passenger to...
  12. BUFFETING????

    I know I've been riding a long time and have owned several bikes with windshields, but have never had a lot of problems with buffeting till the Rocket. Tonight I learned something, that I know one of the Captains has talked about before on lowers blocking the pressure coming in from below...
  13. SPEEDO and Idleing?

    I've used a couple speedo numbers and am at least half of a tenth off. Currently speedo is set at 3248 or 107% of the original 3037. Thoughts? Running 70 at about 3K+, was 70 at 2800. Also, the popping has reall decreased, but my idle is a little rough. Actually sound likes it's trying...
  14. Committing trims to main table?

    Do you guys commit your Fuel trims to the main table before you do a test ride or after. Does this have to be committed before it will take on the tune download? Thanks Gary
  15. DYNO Saturday AM!

    I plan to take the R3 to the local Dyno Shop, (which mostly dyno's Harley's) and have mine hooked up to see what it's actually doing. Any advise? I'm going to try and hook into their system using the PCIII Emulation Mode? We'll see. Be nice to get direct feedback from the Dyno into the...

  17. Jardines raspy?

    Does anyone else notice these pipes have a raspy sound especially under heavy throttling? Do they make different baffles, has anyone ran without 'em, or modified 'em to get more throught and less resonance? Maybe I've been used to the deep sounds of V-Twins too long. Would like to change...
  18. RUNNING JARDINES w/K&N Underseat filter before Tuneboy

    Anyone know if this is going to cause any problems . . . like plug fouling etc. to run it on the stock ECU settings before I get my Tuneboy? I also picked up 2 sets of the header gaskets (bought all they had), so I can put fresh ones on when I install the Jardines. Hopefully they will be here...
  19. Dang those pipes are HOT!

    I can only image how hot the Jardines are gonna be so I'm considering having them ceramic coated. Anyone completed/coated a set of Jardines successfully. How did it turn out? Complications or recommendations? Thanks Gary

    My wife has one he used to place on her VLX600 tank. Not real big, but after a year of using it, taking it on and off . . . the tank had surface scratches on the clear coat. Just a thought . . . I wouldn't use one. Gary
