    2005 Rocket Basic 32K 99% Stock

    Awesome advice! I had the tire changed at local dealer (walking distance from me). Triumphs are a very small % of their sales. They charges a ton but I am sure they didnt grease the spindles. I inquired about replacing the o rings from oil tank and was quoted over a thousand dollars. I...

    GREAT to know. I will research on how to get to the spindles and grease and change fluid again. Hopefully will last a bit longer. I have owned the bike 2 years and back off of riding very hard in fear of cause a critical failure in the drive.... thank you

    HI Turbo, I will review online videos and add this to the list of winter tasks. I also suffer from the oil o-ring leaks and a torque'd off top to an oil drain plug...... which really pissed me off. When I get closer to the work I will post for feedback on non-major upgrades to add. I have...

    Hi Gregger, Thank you very much! That is indeed good news as I didnt know that my Rocket wasnt in the group with problematic Final Drives. Your post has opened the door to spend the bucks on what I have...... [instead of buying a newer Rocket]. I am hooked for life on these bikes. (Just wish...

    Thank you for the idea. The answer to my riddle may just be, "you will know it when it fails and until then it is working fine...." I assume the idea is looking for presence of excessive metal in the fluid? Wonder who would analyize and what would be a baseline for normal.

    Purchased 2 years ago from original owner with perfect maintenance records. Bought tires, LED bulbs, oil, gear oil and filters since. I ride her moderately hard. Read that we are prone to rear end failures, and now think I feel a slight hesitation when I go full throttle in upper gears. Is...

    I have the same want and same issues finding an exhaust that doesn't sound like a cross between an airplane and a sewing machine myself. Just regular 2005 model. Seems impossible. Heard another RtIII bike recently with aftet market pipes.... sounded awesome. Was really pumped to order, but...

    Greenish Liquid Leak Behind Engine (HELP)

    You Are Awesome. I noticed the plug last night and thought it could be leaking from the there. So I imagine you drained the coolant first before you tried to unscrew it? Thank you very much for the feedback. I was worried it was really bad news coming.
