    Can a Rocket III take down the establishment, and rule this island

    A little update on the tuning. The bike has pulled well down low and after lots of work no pinging on the knock gauge anymore. But lately, getting up higher into the revs/throttle %, it actually felt a little 'underwhelming' up in the revs (even though it was practically neck & neck with my...

    Can a Rocket III take down the establishment, and rule this island

    Maybe I'll use the stage name Ed Sheeran on the day 😄 Oh yes I forgot, a friend in the UK with a Hayabusa will be coming over to compete too. That'll be a different class though, stock bikes. I'll be in the unlimited class.

    Can a Rocket III take down the establishment, and rule this island

    Well I sure hope so, been very careful so far with the build and mapping, so hopefully it survives the dyno.

    Triumph LED Headlights anyone?

    You made a good choice. Well, three; the OEM LED headlights, to make an adapter harness instead of chopping, and to get a switch so one can run the DRLs alone and look cool. 1. The new lamps fit like a glove into the Rocket III bowls, they are all the same part (except Touring which has one...

    Can a Rocket III take down the establishment, and rule this island

    Yeah there have been times where I'm sure the clutch or wheel been spinning as the acceleration from say 50-70mph is fast but then it's noticeably faster from 70-90 kind of thing. It's like it gets traction and goes better. Haven't had to take anything apart since the new pistons etc last August...

    Can a Rocket III take down the establishment, and rule this island

    Me too, this build has been some years in the making, so it's a "moment of truth". I just found out there is a 'T2' impeller available for the Rotrex C30-94 supercharger, which gives a few more psi and flow, 20-40hp kind of thing but unfortunately there isn't time for that before dyno day. I'll...

    Can a Rocket III take down the establishment, and rule this island

    Slight update here, have hit 100% throttle at times, and went as far as 8500rpm albeit at 80% throttle. Getting zero pinging on the knock gauge - which is turned up to max sensitivity, so anything at all sets it off... So I reckon once I get the fuelling alright at this point, I can start...

    TPS creep.

    And what way are you setting the TPS up - with TuneECU?

    TPS creep.

    My apologies I was picturing another bike. It only has 1. Is it mechanically drifting i.e. you can see the bolt is in a different position relative to the slot in the sensor after a few hundred miles, or electronically drifting as in the volts as found when doing the ISCV reset are different...

    TPS creep.

    It is a 2 bolt design.. yours only has 1..? Would you have a pic? Being a 2004, if the TPS wasn't replaced then it needs the newer one.

    Rocket 3 Roadster Possibly Overheating?

    Dude will you sit back down, please. The question was directed at me yet you felt the need to answer it for some reason. Like a previous question I asked of the OP, you felt the need to step in to respond. Why? I've replied and am guiding the man back to business. This thread is already 10...

    Rocket 3 Roadster Possibly Overheating?

    Be careful, the bleed screw is not the highest point in the closed system, just a bleed on a system pocket prone to trap air. You have to bleed at the bleed bolt, then keep topping up at the rad cap as I've described, BEFORE replacing rad cap. If one replaces the rad cap once bleeding is done at...

    Rocket 3 Roadster Possibly Overheating?

    So the root cause was indeed the faulty rad cap then. Simple fix. You're almost home now. Did you drain the expansion bottle or leave it hanging upside down before removing the rad cap the first time? Guessing not, and that's why all the coolant came out - the expansion bottle is above the rad...

    Clutch upgrade

    They are just bolts from local engineering supplies shop. I used stainless steel, and suitable penny washers.

    Clutch upgrade

    Good job finding and catching the prob before too late. Yeah you'll need a the new pullrod/lifter piece, pressure plate, pressure plate bearing and the wavy washer. Might as well get a new lifter arm while at it. Only other thing whil in there is 50mm long spring tower bolts to replace the...

    Can a Rocket III take down the establishment, and rule this island

    Well that's 22psi absolute so only 8psi boost. Ive not referenced boost for fuel or ignition, figured it's supercharged so a bit more linear than a turbo say. Just going with setting the tables myself to suit. Using a POD 300 to log pulls and video camera too on the gauges for good measure. The...

    Can a Rocket III take down the establishment, and rule this island

    Back when building it and doing calculations on the back of a pack of fags, I'd guesstimated a max 1 bar / 14psi boost. Seeing 8psi at 8000rpm I'd hope it climbs another 3-5 by 9000rpm. The boost climbs very quickly at the higher revs. Boost gauge on the handlebar for indication, it shows 12psi...

    Can a Rocket III take down the establishment, and rule this island

    As much as the charger will make... Haven't maxed out yet so don't know. Was hitting 22psi absolute at 80% throttle and 8000rpm so about 8psi boost so far. There's some T2 impeller upgrade available for these so might go there next but will see how it goes as is. Ive the ignition pulled back a...
