    Up shift misses gear

    Just today I took the old girl out for a ride and almost every time I shift up from 1st, it will skip and go into neutral. I have to shift again, and sometimes again to get it to go into gear. It happens going into 2, 3, and 4 sometimes. I checked the clutch cable, there's no difference in...

    Starting to wonder if the Rocket is right for me...

    After putting 30k on this bike in the last year and a half, I'm starting to wonder if I'll keep this bike much longer. I love the ride and the power, but this bike is a 900 pound beast. I can't get comfortable despite trying new seats, risers, and screens. It's a little disappointing for me...

    A bit annoyed !

    I was on the Triumph site, renewing my RAT membership. I noticed the current model year R3T has a lot of accessories as standard now. WTF ? Accessories Included as Standard: Drilled oval mirrors Pannier Embellisher kit Headlamp visor Quick release sissy bar Luggage rack Rear Fender...

    A year with the Rocket III Touring

    I've had my R3T for one year now. 21500 miles. 2 sets of Metzeler 880 Marathons. Even had a car tire on for about 5k miles. 3 oil changes. 3 sets of rear brake pads. 10k and 20k services done. Don't ask how much $$$, it's expensive and I don't like it. But it's the price I pay for such an...

    20k service and warranty repairs

    I took my R3T in for her 20k service. There has been some serious knocking and pinging lately and a few starting problems. Got a call from the tech today and apparently Triumph told them to replace the fuel gauge and the clutch switch. Those two thing were causing some occasional problems...

    R3T - Handlebar options

    I've been trying to find out if any of our Rocket captains have replaced the handlebars on the R3T. And if so, with what. I've already put the Rivco risers on and tilted the stock bars as far down as they'll go. I still find the bars just about 2 inches too far away from my 'natural'...

    R3T - new Russell Day Long seats

    I just got back from a ride on the new seats. A few things I've noticed so far..... 1. If you have the quick release sissy bar, it will be **** hard to put in on or take it off with this new seat. It's much wider than the stock / long haul. 2. The wings on the sides are a bit uncomfortable...

    Motolights install - dead - nothing

    I bought a set of Motolights to put on my R3T. I followed the instructions (fairly easy) but nothing works. I replaced the inline fuse, no change. I connected the switch power lead to the brakes, then the running light, then the air horn. Still nothing. Checked all the connections, no luck there...

    New Raask exhaust - Pics and Vid

    I installed the Raask slip ons on the R3T. I did a 12 minute tune to hold me over until I can get the TORs tune done. Fairly easy install. One bracket on the left heat shield didn't match up with the new pipe. No worries.

    Raask exhaust for my R3T

    I ordered a set of Raask slip ons for the R3T. They've been shipped from Sweden. Should be here within a couple of weeks I'm told. SO looking forward to getting them on. I think I'll do the 12 minute tune first then make an appointment to have the TORs tune installed at the dealer. Of...

    Raask exhaust and self install on R3T

    I'm about to order a new set of Raask slip ons for my R3T. I know they're fairly easy to install. Just wondering if there are any extra things I need to get like crush washers or seals of some kind ? Is it really just a bolt on an go ?

    Waterproof Hard Bags - NOT !

    After having this bike in all sorts of weather, I still get a bit annoyed that the hard bags on this bike are NOT waterproof. It rained hard Saturday night, and my R3T was sitting in the parking lot like all the other bikes....getting soaked. Again, after heavy rain, I find the inside of the...

    D&D or Raask for the R3T ?

    I'm planning on getting my exhaust upgraded. I've heard and seen video clips of the D&D, Raask, and TORs. I can't really tell them apart. The TORs do sound fairly quiet. Not too much different from the stock pipes. I like the look of the Raask set that Wildrooster got. They sound great...

    Back to mc tires

    I got my letter from Triumph and Bridgestone yesterday. They offer to replace both tires with Metzeler Marathon 880s. Those are good tires. I had them on my last bike. I've ridden over 4000 miles on the darkside and I think I'm going back to to regular tires. My main issue with the...

    Triumph RAT Magazine

    I just got an email today with a link for the Triumph Magazine. Apparently it's not a paper mag anymore. I hope not, because I like to have something to read in the "library" every morning. Anyone else get the magazine this way ?:confused:
