    This should be simple, headlights don't work

    So I've had this bike since 2004, have probably had one headlight bulb go bad over the years. Recently I moved and had a 6 hour ride to get to my new garage. Get on the bike to go and suddenly the headlights don't light. Didn't have time to deal with, so ran with fog lights and hoped for the...

    No start

    Hey all, long time. 2005 RIII when press start button, silence. This was happening intermittently over the past couple years, not often, but it did happen. I would just sit there and keep trying and it would suddenly fire normally. Ended up getting a fresh battery in the bike last year and...

    Source of oil leak '05RIII ?

    I can't figure out where this is coming from. Pictures show area at kickstand. Arrows point to surface that ends up with a drop or two after a ride (wiped clean for these pics). This is above the seam in the case. Tried to clean up in there, but is very hard to get in there! Very hard to even...

    what exactly happens when you depress the clutch pedal

    what exactly happens when you depress the GEAR SHIFT LEVER I'm having some trouble #1 correctly explaining the failure mode and #2 understanding what the new mechanic is telling me regarding my December downshift problem. The reason is I really don't completely understand how the clutch system...

    Here I am again...

    Well, I posted my transmission trouble back in DEC... it took me this long to get a trailer :( so, for the first time in its life, my '05RIII can be hauled to a dealer. I have been thru 3 dealers since 2001, all 3 losing their Triumph "franchise" along the way, and now the 4th has just advised...

    Lost the downshifting

    I picked last thurs to do the 4.5 hour ride to the closest dealer to get a new rear tire put on (and, as it happened, a new batt- got 5yrs 24K+mi on the first one), knowing I'd have to get up early and go on Friday to get back home before the storm hit- coming in to the dealer, just once, I had...

    Stupidest question ever

    I didn't know how else to title this post. I have been riding my RIII since the last service with no antifreeze in the reservoir. At least, I think so. I looked right after service, and couldn't tell where the level was. I assumed, being right after service, it was correct and that the...

    keeping the shield up

    Has anyone come up with a better "shim" than the gluey rubber things that came with the brackets which hold the shield and fog lights on the forks? About once a year I have to talk all that crap off, clean the goo, and reinstall, for over time they slip down the forks. Problem is the brackets...

    getting those brake line clamps out

    I like those Flipmeister brake line clamps - one of my original (stock, plastic) ones just broke, matter of fact. How the heck do you get those guys out? They look like a simple press fit, but there doesn't seem to be any way to squeeze them on the back side to get them out. You don't have...

    Introduction

    Hi, I googled 20K and RocketIII and found this forum. Getting ready to journey for the 20K service (and it is a journey), I am. Have an '01 LegendTT, too, with just under 30K on it (journey #2). Only other bike I had was an '84 Sportster (1000cc) with a two and a half gallon gas tank or...
