    Drive Shaft Splines

    I put new rubber on my 08 R3T and when I took the back wheel off, I noticed the drive gear was lubed with wheel bearing grease. I found out that my dealer did this when replacing the tires due to a recall (prior to the bike being sold). I then removed the final drive unit and found the splines...

    Infamous Ignition Switch Issue

    Soooooo, went to start my 08 R3T, turned the key and..... nothing. No lights, no nothing. Checked the battery and had 12.76 volts. All fuses are OK. I ran the bike last evening and parked it in my garage until this pm when this issue started. I went to work (via cage) and upon return from...

    Any R3T owners ever experience a faulty gas gauge? I did a search and did not find this particular issue. I was downloading a tune and when completed I started my R3T up I noticed 2 things: 1 - the gas gauge never moved when I turned the key on 2 - after running for about 5 to 8 minutes...

    Question for Pig9r or Warp9.9

    Guys, I have a question for you... I understand that eliminating the 02 sensor prevents the bike from going in to closed loop and therefore does not allow the ECU to "adapt" or make changes to the fuel map. Interestingly enough, Although I have the 02 sensor eliminated, I still seem to be...

    Let there be Light!

    I just installed the auxillary light bar kit on my R3T yesterday afternoon. No big deal to install, just took some time. I had rolled the bike in my basement to do the work. Much warmer and my tools are there. It is beginning to get cool here in the Northeast. I am hoping to get on the bike...

    O2 sensor eliminator question

    Got the O2 sensor eliminator from Dynajet the other day. I understand I need an 18mm flanged bolt to plug the hole the O2 sensor is located in. My question..... I understand the bolt is an oil pan bolt. Does anyone know from what type bike? My dealer searched and could not find a bolt that...

    Anyone know......

    what's up with Wayne of Tuneboy fame? I sent him a paypal (from his web site) for a new tune edit key for my R3T last Saturday and have not heard a word from him. I sent 3 emails over the last few days from his web site (contact us) and again.... no response. I will also say that I never...

    TORS Question

    I installed a set of TORS on my R3T today. I am very happy with the sound. Not too much just adds a little throaty sound. Here is my question...., I believe I am supposed to change the tune but do I really need to? The new pipes really seemed to open up the motor. The throttle is very...

    Anyone know......

    I should have guessed....

    Sooooo, I go to my local dealer and order up a sissy bar and luggage rack for my new 08 R3T. I ask if the pad is included and am told emphatically... "yes"! I picked up the parts yesterday and... what a surprise! Not only is the pad NOT included, but I also need to purchase a fender trim...

    Seat question...

    Has anyone tried the optional gel seat for the R3T? Just wondering if it is an improvemetn over the stock seat or what. The stock seat seems OK but also seems cheaply made compared to the classic touring seat I had on my old R3. Not sure if upgrading to the gel seat is really worth it.

    Windshield question

    Is there a taller quick disconnect windshield available for the R3T? Is the windhield that comes with the R3T the summer shield or the roadster shield (or neither!). The shield on the bike is OK but I would like a taller one for the cold months coming up here in the northeast.

    OK...! I installed a cat bypass, Installed a K&N underseat filter and a set of TORS (Thanks Brembo!) on my 05 R3. Took the bike down to my local dealer and he reloaded tune 20226 in my bike. The sound of the bike immediately changed for the better. Problem is.... I get the infamous popping...

    Cat Bypass Question

    I have a 2005 R3 with stock pipes. Looking at Triumph's cat bypass, they advertise it as only working with TOR pipes. Is this true? Or, can I buy the cat bypass and use it with my stock pipes? If so, do I need to change the tune in this configuration? Any and all thoughts on the matter are...

    Good Vibrations?

    Any one notice a vibration as the engine hits 3K and above? I am encountering this with my 05 R3. It does appear that the vibration is in the engine. Not sure if this is typical to the beast or do I have something that needs attention. This vibe has been present since I got the bike with...
