    Decided to get a r3 touring

    Again, sorry for derailing this thread rocketbill. Sadly the R3T doesn't have a tachometer which IMO is very strange and I don't know when I'll get the bike back from being serviced at the dealership but will try doing as you suggested and will then post the result. Thanks for your suggestion!

    Sorry for your misfortune, glad you're okay other than a bruised arm!

    Thanks rocketbill! Seems like this vibration issue might be more common than it should be after reading this entire thread; Engine Vibration continues

    Decided to get a r3 touring

    Thanks, It's at the dealership now so I'll ask them to check the head stem bearing adjustment. They put on new Metzler 888's when they prepped the bike for sale. I didn't have a say in tire choices. Most of the negative reviews about the Metzlers were about the 880's from what I've gleaned. Next...

    Decided to get a r3 touring

    Congrats on your purchase! Just got a 2015 R3T last week and 1st time riding it on the highway at 80mph there was a LOT of vibration. I had to slow it down to 70mph to feel comfortable & confident. Had a 2011 V-Rod Muscle set up for touring and it was smooth as silk at 80+. Man, I miss that...

    Where to source any slip on exhausts without cat converters similar to D&D's or TOR's for 2015 R3T?

    Thanks!

    Where to source any slip on exhausts without cat converters similar to D&D's or TOR's for 2015 R3T?

    I'd like to replace the stock mufflers on the bike with aftermarket slip-on's without the cans for my 2015 R3T. I've scoured the forums to no avail and same with Ebay. I really want to derestrict it and get some more growl and power with a tune after I replace the stock mufflers with no cat...

    Sounds like keys rattling in front of fuel tank

    Thanks for the info. No, doesn't sound like a paint can rattle and it does it when it's cold and hot so probably not exhaust manifold. It's a vibration noise that sounds like extreme fast sound like keys vibrating against metal in the very front of the tank and the back of the top triple tree...

    Me n Dave rode about 115miles today home from the dealership and I'm very happy with the bike, IMO it handles well with the Metz 888"s so far in the dry. No slips over painted areas of roadways but I'm being cautious because of all the bad things said about the Metzs on this forum. I have a very...

    Sounds like keys rattling in front of fuel tank

    It sounds like keys rattling against the front of the fuel tank at certain RPM's, it doesn't do it all the time but it does do it a lot. It's a little annoying when it's happening because it's very pronounced. I rode my brother-in-laws R3T same year as mine and you could barely hear it on his...

    Wow, didn't realize the Metzlers were that bad but after some reading here on the forums a lot of riders agree. The dealer put on the 888 Metzlers which replaced the 880's. I hope the bike performs okay with them because I don't think I can deal with a slippery, squirrely ride which at this...

    Thanks for the welcome guys! Had her on hold since last week, bought it today. Bought it from National Powersports in Pemboke NH for $10.5k with 14,509k on the clock. I noticed that the air box cover or bear claw as most call it under the left side of the fuel tank is black not chrome.. isn't...
