    ohm range of the Primary & Secondary TPS?

    Can anyone provide me with the "ohm" sweep range of the TPS, both Pri & Sec? I'm about ready to dig into the electrical system and check them both but need to know the numbers I'll be expecting to see to assure they are good.

    Does anyone have an "actual" Rocket III service manual?

    I have an '05 Rocket and the service manual I have is in PDF format. I'm getting ready to see if my low idle issue is with the TPS or not. Viewing through the "Fuel System / Engine Management" section (section 11), I'm finding that page 11.129 is not in my PDF file. Page 11.130 appears twice...

    It can't be that serious, right?

    I rode the '05 Rocket to work the other day. Has been running fine "forever"! Turned on the key, gauge sweep, hit the ignition and the RPM jump into action for a second or two and then back to idle and ready for the day. After work, feels like 105 outside, I straddle the old gal, turn the...

    What shall I do with this?

    Was havin' a good time playing "American Picker" at a friends that had to move. 4 generations of farmers had lived there & we had a great time reliving the past when the land was worked by horse teams. Anyway, I ran across a handful of these feed bags & was wondering what to do with it. Maybe...

    Head Stock Nut Size on '05 R3

    Would anyone know the size of the nuts on the head stock (across the flats)? Without some disassembly, I measure about 40mm (4cm). I'm going to have a couple of wrenches burned at work & wanted to draw the flat pattern to the proper size. Does someone have any laying around or maybe in the...

    Rivco drive shaft housing cover

    I purchased the cover last summer but never put it on. It's about time to knock the dust off the old Fat Bottom Girl and get the ridin' season started here in Northwest Missouri. The cover was in the original packaging but the shrinkwrap was not completely intact. I see the double stick...

    Battery Minder quality

    I'm looking at getting a Battery Minder but I see the prices range from $30+ to $130+. I always go for quality if it proves to be worth the extra $$$. My stock battery ('05) died a hand full of months ago so I was blessed with "battery longevity". I replaced it with the gel type for $72 (not a...

    My New Parrot

    Recently I received a parrot as a gift. The parrot had a bad attitude and an even worse vocabulary. Every word out of tshe bird's mouth was rude, obnoxious and laced with profanity. I tried and tried to change the bird's attitude by consistently saying only polite words, playing soft music...

    Inital start up after a long winters nap.

    Any secrets to getting the fuel system up & going after the tank has been off for several weeks? Or will the electric fuel pump running for a short time before igniton take care of everything?

    Darkside tread design

    To those who have gone "Darkside", I'd like to know if you have noticed lots of "rock slinging" with the more agressive thread, as well as "deeper" grooves. Now that I have the Cooper Zeon 2XP mounted (and ready for fair weather), I'm looking at the rear tire & thinking, "That thing is going to...

    Fuel Tank Removal

    Hey everyone (who has done this before), what is to be expected when "removing" the fuel tank. If there is any fuel in the tank, will it exit the tank when hoses/fitting are removed? Sorry, I haven't even read the service manual to see if the answer lies there. Hoping someone will share their...

    The battery in your Rocket?

    I'm going to straddle the FBG this afternoon for a short ride out to a friends to get Penny's '07 Speedmaster & take "it" for a spin to limber it up some. Each time I go climb aboard the FBG lately, I wonder "Is it going to start this time"? I'm still running the "stock" battery and this is...

    Color code for Cardnial Red '05 Rocket

    Color code for Cardinal Red '05 Rocket Hey everyone, I've always heard the paint code is hidden within the VIN number of most vehicles. Is this correct for the Triumph bikes? I need the color code of the Cardinal Red for a paint match. I even need to know if the "British" color scheme is...

    Penny's new wheels

    Those of you that attended the ES gathering & was unfortunate enough to have met my sister Penny, must have sparked her desire to own something other than a Hardley. She purchased this unit & I picked it up for her yesterday. The toughest part of this is she most likely will not get to put...

    Name of site to get Triumph parts?

    Hey all! What is the name of the site that offers genuine "Triumph" replacement parts? For instance, the trip reset button on the speedo broke & I was able to order a replacement. I did not note the site but know it's out there. Anyone? Possibly more than one huh?

    Here's the story of my "ditch trip".

    Hey everyone (that wants to know), here's what happened. 6 of us were heading north out of ES and Tomo picked up something in the rear rubber & was loosing air (Danno believes he saw the flat tire culprit, a bungee cord "S" hook). He, Flip & Danno pulled off into a business drive to make the...

    Upgraded dresser bars???

    Hey everyone, did someone mention that Triumph had upgraded the "rigidity" of their dresser bars? I had a little incident the other day & the left side dresser went way forward. Easy to bend back in place, in fact, too easy. I'm not fond of the "boxier" appearance of the Rivco bars & wish to...

    Departure time for Friday, Sept 5th?

    Hey guys, I'm wondering if anyone has set a time for pulling out of KC on the 5th. I'm trying to "back plan" so I know when I need to leave St. Joe to meet with the 3 of you. I was thinking I could ride down Thursday night if someone had any accommodations form to rest my head but we'll just...

    Turn signal "cancelling" button disable.

    I'm installing the Signal Minder & need to disable the stock "signal cancelling" center button. Anyone know how to get into the switching mechinism? It appears the switch body needs to come out of the shell housing from the inside (have removed the detachable half) but the sliding button is on...
