    Do not over fill the tank

    Like the old story, the doctor said "I have good news and bad news...The good news is you have six left to live..." Doctor, if I have six left to live, what are the bad news?? (Doctor looking at the sweep hand of his watch:) "Five, four, three, two...." I had one of the original 'Pierre...

    2020 Rocket engine guard heat.

    Must do. Hate the smell of burnt hair. Specially when it's mine.

    How to adjust the Triumph Shift Assist (TSA) on Rocket 3?

    This has been very helpful to me also, my first bike with shift assist and I've also been wondering what the fuzz is all about.

    How to adjust the Triumph Shift Assist (TSA) on Rocket 3?

    "its seems that the shifter is hard to engage and requires me to force it whether ****ing up or down" Funny the words that get bleeped. Good thing I have a list of what ends in "***ING"!

    What Jacket do you wear with the R3?

    OK, I admit it. I went and got a Triumph leather jacket, just to ride with the Rocket (looks pretty silly on the Thurxton and the Speed Triple!) But, MAN, is the ****ed thing HEAVY!

    3000 plus Hours of development and design time!

    I just spit out my stupid light beer....Did you say 305 whp, 260 ftlb torque? Elon, are you listening?

    Saftey recall

    Coming out of Ducatis, I'm not used to having a rear brake anyhow.

    Triumph shift kit for 2.5L

    Does it have to be turned on at the first service? At over 1,000 miles I've yet to notice any difference between my TFC's shifting and that of my other bikes which do not have quick-shift...A mystery.

    Live in the S.F. Bay Area? Lets meet up and ride!

    If you live in the Bay Area and if you want to meet up for a ride, drop me a line. I'm a semi-retired Boomer, weekdays work better than weekends. I ride 'The Pace', (The older I got, the faster I was...heh, heh.)

    Final version of my plate relocator

    Just sped-browsed through the thread, forgive me if I missed it: Can you install the tail-tidy and keep the factory bags? Are the directional (blinker) signals to be replaced or are the stock ones compatible ? (with the factory bags on) Evidently that rear tire looks like an over-grown...

    Cold Starts in Cold Weather

    Learned something new. I was running Shorai when they were a novelty and that was the key on cold starts: Full load to warm up the battery, then crank. But I never tried that on conventional batteries!

    Why are people selling their Rockets?

    I can't speak for others but I've been on a journey to find a good match. I went through a number of bikes and enjoyed every one of them but, along the way, I found that it wasn't so much about the virtues of any given motorcycle as it is about defining who I am as a motorcyclist. Gladly...

    FIFTY times the displacement of my first bike?

    A DKW 50cc two stroke, pedal assisted, open frame. In green, with cream trim. Gone through a bunch of neat bikes during this journey, loved them all, from the Hodaka Super Rat to the BMW R90S in Daytona Orange, and all the other special machines that have made these past 56 years a 'rell of a...

    15w50 castrol

    Mind over matter. If you don't mind it doesn't matter. Hey, I don't mean to slight the "Oil Thread', I subscribe to the 'Amsoil' camp myself. But, then again I go to church a couple of times a year...Just in case. The rational side of my brain knows that the owner's manual has the answer...

    15w50 castrol

    Love it! The oil thread! The cartoon shows two riders stopped in front of a just landed UFO. The UFO gate is opening and a spider-like alien is starting toward them, down the ship ramp. "What kind of oil do you use in that thing?", one of the riders asks...

    Check this out...

    Not to diminish the talent and the amount of labor that went into the project, but it doesn't ring my bell. It's an Easter Egg on wheels.

    Bags

    Right. So you got the lock cylinders when you bought the bike, as we all did. And your FOB has a mechanical key blade. You'll see that the lock cylinders are presently encased in a black plastic pipe which will enable you to insert them into the pannier's lock receptacles. A number of pins in...

    Bags

    So, here's a bit of unsolicited advice, Biker1059: The bags come with instructions and a kit to key them to the master key. Pretty slick stuff. Take a minute to read that stuff and don't rush through it. It's not hard to fruck it up and you end up with locks that face weird ways. That's...
