    Won't start in cool weather

    Thanks much. Going to try to get the dealer to cover this "design flaw" by replacing the new factory battery they installed with a PC625.

    Won't start in cool weather

    I’ve had my 06R3 for almost three years. I has 8500 miles on it, but a problem has developed over the past six months. When I try to start it in cool weather (say, below 50F), the engine cranks, but won’t fire. If I jump start it, it fires right up and runs...

    Misfireing at Idle

    I also had idle problems; turned out to a vacuum leak. I have tors and cat delete, so I loaded dougl's 20050-2 tune with TB. I set the idle at 820, and now the she idles just fine, sounds great, and hauls ass! dongee

    R3 wind deflectors

    Wind deflectors and brake line The lower deflectors can easily be adjusted forward to keep them from hitting the radiator. However, keeping the brake line from hitting the radiator when you have risers is a different problem. Looks like it will required longer brake lines; I am taking mine in...

    R3 wind deflectors

    Ditto on the lowers. If you wanna reduce heat, get rid of the cat box. dongee

    RedLine Water Wetter

    Best way I've found to reduce heat is to get rid of the cat box. Bike now runs at least 30% cooler. dongee

    Pipes and tunes? Help

    Right, I looked at a stock R3 and, sure enough, the right hand pipes point in different directions! Just appears more obvious with the tors. BTW, another couple of questions. I have tor's and cat delete. I am planning on using dougl's 20050-2 tune. Does using the k&n under seat filter...

    tors questions

    Just had tors and cat delete installed. Major popping on decel. Looks like the posts here are going to be a great help. Maybe going to buy tuneboy, try the 20050-2 map, and the pciii o2 sensor delete (xtra hp in 1-3 would be nice). Am I on the right track? Also, a potentially stupid question...

    TORS and cat delete

    Here's my attempt at a video of tors and cat delete. The video isn't great, but the sound is pretty true (sorry about the wind). Link Removed Here's what you're looking at: 06 Tribal, HID headlights, Roadster screen, lower wind deflectors, Rivco risers, Classic handlebars, Throttlemeister...

    idle stall update

    I took mine in for the stall, they changed the tune, and it ran fine for about a month. Then, right back to square one. Won't stay lit when it's cold, idles rough when it is warmed up. Had TOR's and cat bypass installed this week; they say they fixed the stall again. Don't know how it's going...

    Black Bear Claw?

    Gonna have the bearclaw and radiator shrouds painted the same color as the bike (Mulberry Red). I think that will help "hide" the radiator and way improve the looks of the bike. Will post pictures in a couple of weeks. Don

    Painting the bear claw

    Any suggestions on resources for painting my bear claw the same color as the tank (Mulberry Red)? Also may want to paint the radiator trim pieces the same; I don't think Triumph offers them in my colors. Also, I may want to reupholster the stock rider and pillion seats - and carry the tribal...

    Painting the bear claw

    I saw a pic somewhere of an R3 with the bearclaw painted the same color as the bike. Thought it looked pretty cool. Anyone have any experience with this? Thanks, Dongee

    Low rider seat and Ikon shocks

    I am thinking of putting the Triumph low rider seat and 1" shorter Ikon shocks on my 06RIII. Anybody have any experience with these, and how did it work out? Thanks
