  1. Change Fuel Filter

    the manual says to change the fuel filter at 20K. My dealer says not to bother and it looks like quite a job. Any thoughts about whether this should be done? Mike

  2. Used to be Greyrocket

    I have no idea how many of my old friends are on this forum. I ride a Grey R3 (2005) and have lost track of the forums. Can't find the old one and this might be it, but I no longer have any registration. Looked for Dave Harvey could not find him. Gary? I think you are still here. I put more my...

  3. Starting problem

    I took the Rocket for a ride through Maine this last weekend along with my friend on his BMW F650. It was a bit chilly and I ran my heated grips and I have motolights installed. As we searched for a place to stay and the air got cooler I ran the heated seat. I have never had a problem running...

  4. My search continues

    This was not asked, and it is probably a red herring but Triumph takes the position that the throttle locks are contributing to the TPS problem. Probably BS but after the second dealer has told me that Triumph takes this position and since I now have it running smooth for the first time in a...

  5. Infrared Thermometer question

    My wife has complaint about heat on foot from right exhaust and I want to play with shielding. Would like accurate readings and plan to buy infrared thermometer. Don't know maxiumum heat range needed. Also looking for brand recommendations. There is a lot of junk out there. thanks Mike

  6. Honda owner thinking about a Rocket III Tourer

    Sorry I love the bike when it works, and I would take one over a vtx which I have ridden but not far. But Honda has the far better network. Frankly, now that mine is running well, I am considering trading for a Gold Wing while it still works. My problems surfaced after 10,000 miles. Fist 10,000...

  7. CHECK YOUR BRAKE LIGHTS! Possible switch problem

    Same issue. Almost cost me an inspection sticker Mike

  8. Thought it was surge, no longer so sure

    I put a new tune 20027(?) in the bike last night, and took it out. Actually running worse each time I rider her, which in a way is a good thing. When the issue first came up I thought it might be me, then I had a hard time convincing the dealer. Now she is missing up the scale. Something is...

  9. Thought it was surge, no longer so sure

    Since the "solving" of my idle problem last year by my dealer I have had what I have described as surging issues. One is coming off idle where she bucks if you do not smooth it over with clutch work. A real jerk which drives me nuts in traffic. The other was thought of by me as a surge or...

  10. Taking delivery of new R3T - Requesting advice

    my recommendation is to do absoulutely nothing for the seaon. Ride it and see what comes up. Saves you lots of $$$ for things that seemed like a good idea at the time. Also if for some reason you do not like the bike after riding it for a while (it happens) you do not have a lot invested in add...

  11. Brake away vs Throttlemeister

    I had the breakaway. Took it across country in 2006. Had a number of adjustment problems with it. Found it a real pain until sorted out. Then when idle problem began dealer blamed the breakaway. I now know that this is false, but frankly have not put it back on either. Mike

  12. Help!!! I need a Surge of ideas

    My rocket is driving me nuts. Last year 9500 trouble free miles. This year a lousy 2k on the clock due to idle problem and now a really annoying surge. I had the idle fix installed this summer and it idles fine at about 900 rpm. However, i felt it was surging at about 1700-2300 rpm. Just...

  13. Recall time Guy's

    This is the idle fix problem that I posted about last week. I have not read the bulletin but was told by my mechanic it is involves a recent of the ecm and manual setting of the idle.

  14. idle stall update

    I just got back from Europe and my bike trip in Scotland, I will post on that. However, picked up the Rocket which has been at dealer for the idle/stall problem. I am told it is now fixed and that Triumph has issued a technical bulletin to dealers on the issue. I checked online and could not...

  15. Answers..Please!!!

    Somewhere last fall we had a nice thread on scalloping in which I posted links to some various sites. Should still be available. My memory is you should not assume that you have an air pressure problem. Might be due to the crown of the road. Find the links interesting reading. Mike

  16. My quest for the perfect seat

    I have the Russell seats, had them about one year. Took bike across US with Russell, wife loves the rear seat. I would not say the best looking seat but very confortable. Will try to dig up picture. Mike

  17. Pillion seat

    Russell Day Long wife loves it.

  18. Bar end mirrors ...anyone?

    Just remember you are going to add several inchs clearance to each side. In my case that would really be a problem clearing the space between car in driveway and house. Mike

  19. EZPass, SunPass, toll tags â€â€

    I have mine on the windscreen with an $8 item plasitc tool box holder, found yahoo shopping. Sticks with suction cups and sticks very well rain shine, etc. You can find it online with little search. Mike

  20. More performance, Tune Boy, K&N?

    I am not convinced this is worth the extra money. In theory with the proper tune you have increased the horse power over stock by 15 +- The reason you put on the K&N is perhaps a little better breathing and perhaps the fact you do not have to replace in the future, just clean them. As I...
