    EFITAK

    When I bought my VN2000, I rode it for a year, loved it! But we always want more HP don’t we? Course we do. I had small, easy to instal Electronic Timing Advancement Kit. It worked Sooo good. This kit combined with big throat pipes just turned my VN into a beast. 17 years later, has never...

    Recall information request

    I know this topic has been discussed. I’m just wondering if anyone in warmer regions ( still able to ride) have been notified of a recall on the R3r rear brake? I can’t ride here yet in subzero Canada. My NEW rear brakes went from extremely impressive, to “worrying” within the first 2k klm’s...

    Tag teaming

    The G-Force Junkie brings up an interesting topic.( Always looking for one). The Junkster admitted to not being a fan of group rides. I’m not a big fan either. Although if I was personally more likeable, popular, younger, or actually knew more ppl that ride, I may hold a different opinion 🙃...

    Steam bath ?

    I mentioned in a previous post about how I start n run my Kawi periodically during storage months to keep it lubed, and prevent lifter ticking. I wasn’t familiar with how the R3r reacted to only having a warm up twice a month. I’ve done it a few times now since last ride day in October. No...

    Rear ended

    Ever been bumped from behind? I probably shouldn’t make lite of this subject. I know it’s happened to many riders. And I have a close personal friend who was injured badly in a rear smash accident on her bike. But this is the one a guy gets to laugh at, n gets away with. OMG, I’m already...

    Tricky Dicky

    I’ve ridden the R3r for all of six months. Probably closer to three, since I’ve divided ride time between my other bike. Okay, let’s be honest.... the Triumph being brand new, definitely got the lions share. I love the shift response while open road riding. It’s crisp n clean. From 2nd up n...

    Dynamometer

    Has anyone, on any level, ( bike, car, truck,) ever had, done, or been a diagnostic tech, on a dynamometer. Where at full throttle, a measurable vibration from the tested vehicle was confirmed?

    Still none ?

    It’s been two months (at least) since I posted my ridiculous vibration issue on this....a global forum. And other than the odd tick on like TWO guys bikes. Nobody else is experiencing this?....Infkincredible !

    Pillion

    The term “pillion” seems to be a Rubik’s Cube term in my minds eye. I’ve looked it up online several times. It seems to meld the “ passenger seat of a bike, into the passenger’s themselves.........” This bikes pillion was pleased with the ride”. Here, we would never say.......” This bikes...

    Have you done it yet?

    We’ve all seen the Video of professional riders doing rolling smoke shows, and wheelie pulls on the R3r . Have you tried it? I used to pull wheelies on my dirt bikes ( naturally 🙄). I’ve never owned a Jap rocket, and never done blisteringly crazy sh@t on a street bike. ( pavement is so much more...

    TICK prevention.

    Straight out of the gate...I’m no mechanic. I have however, learned a few things most...in my experience are never told....Here’s one. N probably one that drives a lot of riders north of the lower 40 nuts.....You insure your bike for....bout 6 months. The rest of the years weather sucks butt...

    AVON's....?

    Anyone have enough clicks on their R3r, to get a measure of how these AVON Cobra’s hold up ?

    Anyone care to bet?

    When’s the chrome coming? Anyone are to bet? They did the rushed metal thing( not a fan). They jacked the $ price up $2000, n sprayed the whole friggin bike mat black...🤪. You just know the chrome’s coming soon. N so is the $4.500 hike. I’d definitely buy the chrome rims though. Not a super fan...

    Any closer ?

    Joined this forum...5...6 weeks ago? Dunno, time gets away from you. Thing that lured me towards a Triumph forum was to compare my bikes vibration problem with others....So far virtually zero comparison. Are y’all fkn telling me, that on a planetary scale... NO ONE has experienced a R3r that...

    So what's next ?

    First thing that’s going to happen is...”they” start pulling down combustion vehicles from the top down. That starts with large CC litre engines. Trucks, cars, bikes, doesn’t matter. Will you buy an electric bike ?

    Would she get on yours?

    Would, or does, your mate saddle up behind you on the back of your bike? I know there’s a name others call passenger seats. Just can’t think of it now lol. I’ll keep this short as I can. Tend to drift off the road a tad with my stories lol.....Here goes...When I finally got the right to...
