    R3T Throttle Issue

    I would agree with Warp, having had to replace the nylon throttle grip a couple times. Not as easy with heated grips which I have now, so I have repaired the grip this last time by using stainless MIG wire a small drill and some patience.

    R3T final drive splines

    My R3T has just turned 35K miles and I know I'm gonna have to do rear tire this winter. I service the splines on the final drive and trans output each time I do a rear tire which is usually every 6-8K miles. The splines have been getting steadily worse each time I service ( I always use the...

    Detent spring, or trans update?

    As Warp mentioned, his buddy suffered with it a while before fixing and that is exactly what I intend to do. It won't be torn apart until this fall and I will do the timing chain and guides at the same time. I have found that if I rest my foot gently down on the shifter after a downshift that it...

    Detent spring, or trans update?

    OK, Thanks guys! I'll let you know soon. Won't have any time to diagnose or work on it 'til next weekend. Meanwhile I'll do a little research on just how to get at it. I see there are several posts in reference to the detent spring replacement.

    Detent spring, or trans update?

    Hello all! Had the 08 R3T out for her spring shakedown run and am depressed. About 35-40 miles into the ride, coming into a shallow turn, I downshifted to 4th and as it deceled it slipped into neutral. I thought nothing of it, assuming I hadn't given it a positive kick. It happened repeatedly...

    Cam tensioner blues

    I know this topic has been beat to death, but I gotta get this off my chest. WTF is up with the timing chain wear? At 25k miles I started to hear the intermittent "click-click" and I checked the tensioner depth which was at 17.2mm. I installed the spacer and tried it for another 500 miles and...

    temp gauge

    Yea,,,sorry I forgot that part. I changed #16 pin from B+ power to switched ignition. Not really much of an issue since it is right beside the fuse box. Otherwise you would have to deal with either turning it off each key cycle or unplugging it. I have to say tho, that I have had no issues...

    temp gauge

    The scangauge is super easy. Pull the seat and you will find the 16 pin OBD connector. Simply plug the scangauge in and route the lead up under the tank. I made a mount for it on the handlebar, but lots of folks just use the Velcro stickys.

    LED tail light bulb

    Wattage vs Lumens? I would be interested in these if only for the reduced power consumption. Would be great if we knew what the amp draw was compared to an 1157. I went with LED running lights simply because with the same lumens as a halogen they draw less than 1/10th the amperage. LED's are...

    power commander

    question answered finally That answers my question that I had in an earlier thread. I wish now that I had gone with either TuneECU or TuneBoy because of the limitations of the PCV. It really irritates me that PCV doesn't address ignition maps. Thanks Wayne

    Should I use the clutch?

    clutch optional Once you have it launched, clutch is optional....mine (and several past bikes) havnt complained either. Just my opinion tho

    R3T derestricting

    Will this design be able to fit the tighter confines of the Touring? You probably posted this before, but just what does it look like?

    R3T derestricting

    Got that,,,,,,,,, Thanks Wayne! I do plan to do internal mods to my R3T possibly as soon as this winter,,,,meanwhile I want to see if I can wring a bit more out of it with just timing mods. Mine gained a bunch of torque with the simple mods I did this past winter. I made my own crossover...

    R3T derestricting

    timing recurve?? I really want to tweek the timing on my touring. I now have a good fuel map (using PCV without AT). I know it has a lot more potential if timing were optimized. What are you using for a timing map? I have access to a dyno, so I plan to do any of this in a controlled...

    thoughts on my new sound

    want to put a trunk on the r3 tourer

    Time is the factor..... During the summer I just don't have time to spend fabbin my own stuff. If this used Triumph quick release comes thru, I can make it happen quickly. The added benefit is the triumph release works, works quickly and can be locked for added security. For me to fab...
