  1. Rectangular connector under tank

    Well this is embarrassing, but my 2005 RIII is in a storage space where I can't work on it (I got a warning for charging the battery and putting it back in) and the Check Engine light went on and stayed on when I started it up. Looking for possible reasons, I noticed a disconnected two conductor...

  2. Winter storage fuel purge

    I need to leave my Rocket III in the Pacific Northwest 'till spring. I have less than a gallon in the tank. Last time I stored it was more than a decade, and I had to replace the fuel pump and have the fuel injector nozzles cleaned. I think I can empty the tank (pull the fuel line off the tank...

  3. Storing my R3 'till spring -- any advice?

    Are there any gas treatments that will work on this? I just went through installing a new fuel pump and having the injector nozzles cleaned, but it took a couple weeks and cost a couple hundred bucks, and I'd rather not do that again. Of course, last time it had been stored fifteen years and...

  4. Mysterious air hose under tank

    I'm installing freshly washed injector nozzles, and I have an extra hose under the tank. Yes I looked where it might plug into, do you think I'd accept this risk of public humiliation if I hadn't looked? And failed to find it? Here's what the hose looks like. I'm going to lie down with a cool...

  5. For Sale '05 R3 Bobber, $3000

    It turned into a bobber thanks to somebody not paying attention to the road, it got rear ended, everything behind the turn signal mounts is gone and there's lots of cosmetic damage to the left side. My shop in Creswell did not survive the plague, the rent exceeds the income, so we're downsizing...

  6. Draining old fuel from injector rail?

    I got a new fuel pump, pumped the stale gas out of the fuel filter, and all is well except my Rocket won't start (2005 sitting fifteen years). I'm still hoping it isn't clogged injectors, and wondering if there's a way to bleed the crappy gas downstream of the gas tank without pulling the...

  7. Seeking a replacement fuel pump resource

    I left my old one in stale gas back in the Bush administration, and it drowned, and I don't have the patience (or the 177 dollars) to get a new one from the nearest Triumph dealer. I'm thinking of replacing it with a Quantum, about seventy bucks delivered. Does anyone have sage advice to offer...

  8. After a decade in storage, not getting fuel. Any ideas?

    First of all, it's not the fuel that was left in it; I drained the old fuel by removing the fuel pump from the bottom of the tank, and replace it with fresh gas. It cranks fine, has good spark (it vroomed nicely when I gave it a shot of starting fluid in the airbag, but quit immediately after)...

  9. Mad scientist, building a R3-powered sports car

    Ooh I love that Rocket III engine! I make DIY sports cars and parts for other homebuilders (google <Locost cars> or go to <kineticvehicles.com> to see what I'm up to) and I fell in love with the Rocket III powerplant, so I bought a bike that had been rear-ended and after riding it a bit, am...

  10. Ooh man do I love that Rocket III engine!,

    I build oddball sports cars (you can see what I'm up to at KineticVehicles.com). I have one now that gets 100 mpg, it's powered by a three cylinder turbocharged Kubota diesel and the R3 mill would fit right in there. So I bought a 2004 model that had been rear ended, I've ridden it around for a...
