  2. Battery or need a relay?

    Thanks for the info. all the connections are tight, Will check fuses. Battery seem alright on another of my bikes. I will get another and check everything else.

  3. Battery or need a relay?

    My "08 R3T started having cranking problems a while back. Battery seemed to be dying so I replaced it with the lithium one from Battery Tender. Started having the same issue. Hit the button, engine goes "chunk" like it was trying to turn over then stops. Everything resets and I hit button and it...

  4. Gunfighter custom seat

    Looks good. Been wanting a different seat for a couple of years. Tired of my ass hurting after a few miles. Can't find anything aftermarket so may get one made myself.

  5. Tsukayu fairing

    I was stationed at the Kaneohe MCAS back during Desert Storm. Used to hang out at the Creek Side. Met my wife there. Rode all ove r that island. My son is on the Big Island. I am thinking of sending him my '98 1200 Trophy.

  6. Tight cable

    Mine has a master cylinder and a brake line. I haven't had a brake cable since my '70 650 Tiger. It had the vented front brake and the standard mechanical rear.

  7. Jacking up R3 Question

    There was an ongoing discussion about this a while back. I thinki someone was making an adapter to go on a lift to take up the bike using the two holes in the frame that look like a place for a center stand to mount. I think it was flcklmiester or something like that. I don't kow how ot look up...

  8. Tyre problems

    When was the last time you checked the air pressure. It is worn on the sides and middle but has gaps? I don't know about the rest of you but I have over 13K on the Metzlers and i am getting them changed now. There was still some tread but it was close and when i get to ride anymore I ride for a...

  9. problem with r3t

    Have you checked your battery connections? I have about 25K on my 08 and never had any problems like you are describing. I did have an engine light come on once and it went out. I had a dead battery once and just had to charge it. I live on the intercostal waterways in SC so lots of salt air and...

  10. Where to jack?

    there was a discussion on this a couple of years ago. I am not sure what anyone came up with other than the two holes at the bottom where the frame bolts together. I just took mine in to get tires and had to let the guy know to look out for that problem . Someone was going to build something to...

  11. Vin number year matching

    Yep, tenth character is the year. Should be a letter. Not sure what it is but for this century. I wonder why it isn't on the title or registration.

  12. Triumph Accesories Mufflers on R3T

    Dealer did mine when I got it and just did the old 11 minute tune and it worked fine. I haven't done one in a while but i believe you start the bike with no throttle and let it sit an idle until the fan comes on. At that time start the 11 minute clock. Once the time is up the tune is done. I...

  13. Elite 3's for R3T ?

    I don't know. I have over 12k on my metz and still have a little tread left and I am not easy on the tires. I don't over load the bike either. Usually ride solo with little luggage if any. May have something to do with it.

  14. pulls to the left

    I have never gotten anything but straight tracking from my "08 in 22K miles. Except on bad roads. How was the road?

  15. 55 in 2011, where to go?

    Do Daytona in Oct. Both are fun but the crowd is less in Oct and the weather is nicer. Not as many boneheads either. I don't know about you but I turned 55 in 2910. I don't like putting up with most of the "bikers" out there any more. Posers are more like it. If you go to Daytona, go to Earl's...

  16. Baggers Magazine R3T Test

    I had a sub to Bagger but gave it up when about all they covered were new Evo harley's. I have an old HD bagger and my R3T so I lost interest fast and didn't renew the sub when it came due. If they had run an article like this back then I may have stayed with it.

  17. How much play in the throttle is normal?

    And that can get a little hairy. Going around a curve and your bike starts to accelerate more than you want. Not my idea of a good time. Always check your cables.

  18. Ignition problems?

    Had mine for over two years and over 22K miles. Had 21 in May but didn't get to ride much last few months. I have had no electrical problems at all. I have a brake light problem but heard today I just need to bleed the brakes. Switch has been fine.

  19. How much play in the throttle is normal?

    It should. I don't have a lot of play in mine. Never measured it. If you just give it a lot right from the get, you won't have to worry about the lunging.:D It will tend to get a little sideways though.

  20. 2011 r3t ??

    I wouldn't mind a retro fit for ABS. Rains a lot here in SC. I had it on my FJR and it was great in the rain. Stopped way short of anything else. As big as the R3T is, some help with the stopping would be great.
