    Transmission woes on my R3T

    I likewise had a transmission problem Now I don't and after a 43 day long debacle back in August & September with a 2010 R3T. I am just glad to be rid of a bad dealer and a halfass motorcycle company (great bikes just lousy customer service) having traded the Triumph in on a new 2012 Victory...

    R3T Transmission Trouble

    That's it That's OK with me. I probably shouldn't be hanging around much on this forum anymore being as I am no longer a Rocket III owner. It just wouldn't look right to the other owners out there. I don't want to get flamed or be thought of as some sort of trouble maker. Thanks to all of...

    R3T Transmission Trouble

    D&D Pipes Fed Ex just delivered my D&Ds today. I had them installed in about 45 minutes or so. Took a litle test spin and they do sound nice. Just a little decel pop occasionally but not bad. I'll probably just get the reflash at the dealer when I get the 500 mile break-in oil changed out...

    R3T Transmission Trouble

    I'm a Victory Convert Now I traded it in on a new 2012 Victory Cross Country in Metallic Red & Silver two-tone. I got about $1500 over Kelley Blue Book trade-in value for the R3T. My payment is only $155 per month for four years. The Triumph was $193 a month for five years so I think I did...

    R3T Transmission Trouble

    It's Finally Over With!!! I got an email from Thiel's this morning telling me they had left a voice mail on my cell phone a couple of days ago that my bike was finished. I had loaned my cell phone to my daughter a couple days back as she had broken hers. Thiel's also had my home phone and...

    R3T Transmission Trouble

    Tommorrow........ No word yet. Today is September 17th and tommorrow will mark 40 days of not having my bike. It sucks big time!! I'll call the dealer tommorrow. This is not my idea of what good customer service should be. From any company or and dealer for that matter.

    R3T Transmission Trouble

    One Yamaha out there, a bit outdated... I actually had one once, a 2003 Royal Star Venture full dresser. It has the old watercooled V4 derived from the original V-Max and still has carburetors. The styling is pretty traditional cruiser and very little plastic chrome (tank badges). MSRP on a...

    R3T Transmission Trouble

    Talked to Triumph Customer Service Again I called their Newman Georgia U.S. headquarters today. The rep told me that Thiel's Wheels in Upper Sandusky Ohio (my soon to be ex-dealer) already has the repair parts in their possession. However this dealer can't work on my bike till Friday September...

    R3T Transmission Trouble

    Distance to dealer a factor to me. My current dealer, Thiels Wheels is 24 miles from my home. My previous dealer, American Powersports in Findlay (who now sells Victory) was 15 miles. Other Harley Davidson dealers in my area are: Signature in Perrysburg 35 miles, Ben Breece in Ottawa 40...

    R3T Transmission Trouble

    Ohio Lemon Law Unfortunately, even though my bike has now reached the 30 days in the shop requirement for the Lemon Law here in the Buckeye State, I have already passed the one year or 18,000 mile limitations of this law. Otherwise I could be either getting a new bike or a full cash refund...

    Light at the End of the Tunnel I just got this new email from Thiel's Wheels. It looks like it shsould be finished in about a week (from today). Here is the email: DENNIS, YOUR BIKE WAS DISASSEMBLED TO THE CLUTCH AND SUMP. SMALL BITS OF METAL SHAVINGS AND DEBRIS WERE FOUND, I COMMUNICATED...

    R3T Transmission Trouble

    Such a long drawn-out slog!!! I see the plusses in that they are covering (supposedly) this under the drivetrain warranty. I also feel the minus side of the equation as well. 28 days without a bike and no loaner offered is a long time (especially in Summertime). The 8th is this coming...

    R3T Transmission Trouble

    Thanks for the Pictures Those pics will help me or some other owner whenever this pesky detent spring should ever break again. As for right now it's the dealer's turn to do it under that two year drivetrain warranty. I won't need to see the separated bottom oil sump cover at his shop this...

    Trunk mounting

    Scootworks Trunk & Wompus rack I got mine from Scootworks. They also sell the Wompus brand mounting racks. The rack is custom made for each make & model bike, but the trunk mounting holes must be drilled, as any make of trunk can be used on the Wompus rack. My tourpack came in black gel coat...

    R3T Transmission Trouble

    Want to See the Parts I also want to see the spring and the broken-off piece of it before I sign-off on this job. I need to know they got that piece out of my engine or tranny. Hopefully I will get that call from Thiel's this week that it's done. Wednesday will be 28 days without a...

    R3T Transmission Trouble

    To make matters worse!! Today is August 31st, 25 days in the shop!! I called the dealer yesterday and their tech said it's still on hold as they couldn't find the broken missing piece of the spring. I repied it has to be somewhere in the engine or transmission since they share the same oil...
