    Total Engine Seize...

    IDK (Legend) ...I really hate to spread my legs open here, but no, I am not sure about the nut you are referring to, but I suspect that it was that shiny nut that that came in the box when I got my last parts. Maybe such a nut holds something important...such as the end of a rotating...

    Dealing with engine heat...

    Corey, my R3T gets hot as hell also and it literally can burn through my jeans. I had the same problem on my 600 Ninja. I bought several rolls of header insulation wrap and wrapped my exhaust from the head to the muffler and this worked great on the Ninja. I notice on the R3T that the heat seems...

    Total Engine Seize...

    The last time was a 2nd Gear swap that was/is a know problem with this bike. So I will have to wait and see what this problem is and determine the cause. For sure though, this is not what I call fun.

    Total Engine Seize...

    Maybe you did not read my posts with Warp...all of my parts are original and bought from USA or Australia Triumph or re-sellers. My mechanic is excellent and though he is not high tech, he is one hell of a mechanic. He has serviced 5 of my bikes for 5 years and no issues with him.

    Dark Side...The Last Time...Promise!! (Pictures)

    Hi Guys, I am running a Michelin Primacy 205/65-R16 rear and a Dunlop 150/80H-16 D404 Whitewall Front Tire. I bought my bike used and downloaded a service manual that says I should have a 17" front rim, but I have a 16". It is matched with the rear, so I guess that is the way it is supposed to...

    Dark Side...The Last Time...Promise!! (Pictures)

    Hi, thanks for the reply. I cannot spin the car tire or the last bike tire i had. But when I bought the bike it has semi-bald Metz or Mich and was just happy to spin immediately if I goosed it. My bike is a 2008 and has no ABS, but knowing how ABS works I can say that if you had a CT on, the...

    Cliff, this guy is an absolute wizard. He led cross-country bike tours for almost 30 years and was fixing bikes all the time and now he only works on bikes. I have been taking bikes to him for 5 years and I have seen everything imaginable stripped down on his floor. I have watched him make tools...

    Oh...forgot... the bike also handles extremely well. No steering or cornering issues that would concern. Just ride it like you rode it before.. :thumbsup:

    Hi all... Back in November 2014 my second gear went belly up and I could not use it at all. I had to ride shifting from 1st to 3rd and that can be dangerous when you forget. At the same time I was having bad luck with aftermarket grips, because the cable connections break. Anyway, back to the...

    Hating My Rocket...you can have it!

    Hi all, I am not a yanker.. I am just a normal rider. I don't go around gunning the engine. The grips are really cheaply designed. My trunk was made by Tsukayu Japan and custom match painted by them. They have all the Triumph paints. After they shipped the trunk to me, I ordered a pair of 1952...

    Hating My Rocket...you can have it!

    Hi All, just need to get this off my chest... I have a 2008 R3T and in my last post some days ago i was trying to figure how to deal with my missing second gear problem. I hate to have to drive going from 1st to 3rd gear. In that post i was snickering :rolleyes: about having bought an extra pair...
