    Odometer reading X2 ?? 1 mile shows as 2 miles

    My 2013 that I bought brand new, and is running fine, has started showing twice the miles ridden! Everything else appears to be OK, gas gauge, etc. Doesn't bother me much, but will pile up the miles on the clock if I don't fix it. Any ideas ?????:oops:

    For Sale Save me from myself

    Hi all. Well, the time has finally come. I'm about to turn 74 years old, and have several ailments. I've got to where I trip, stumble, etc. etc. just getting around my home. So, I'm actually afraid to ride any of my "3" Rockets anymore. A 2013 that I bought brand new, and "2" 2005's, one with a...

    Odometer +2 ???

    Hi all, I'm an old fart, and ain't riding like I used to, but, my 2013 Rocket's odometer has started recording "DOUBLE" what the real mileage is. Weird ain't it! A normal 25 mile ride, shows 50 miles. Don't bother me much, but don't need the extra "faulty" mileage showing up. My first thought is...

    Chasin a Gremlin.....

    Hi all, so with my back/hip giving me fits, I have not been riding as much as I'd like. Last time out on my 05, with a 2015 engine, I barely made it home, with cut out's, backfires, and when I parked to open my gate, it was only idling on 2 cylinders. Figured it was the old coil wire spade...

    Purpose of spring on driveshaft ???

    Hi! I assume, the purpose, is to keep the driveshaft shoved all the way forward, onto the spline of the output shaft, correct? When I assembled my last project, the spring was either missing, or lost in the shuffle, but I went ahead without it. Now notice a sort of grinding feeling at cruising...

    Quick Question

    From what I can comprehend, If an early model Rocket is in neutral, the side stand switch should have no effect in starting, right? Whether o_O up or down, connected, or not ??? Right ???

    Prayers for "Harleigh"

    Hi all, I've been a single man, since my last divorce in 1992. I keep 2 dogs, or as I call them, "Angels". One is "Harleigh", adopted from the shelter. They guessed her to be around 5 or 6 years old then, and she had been in the shelter for 5 months. She is the sweetest, most loving critter I...

    Another one bites the dust

    At least it happened right as I was turning onto my road home. Had to shut off, at my gate, and push it while stuck in first gear, with the clutch pulled in, for about 20 yards. OUIT OF BREATH for sure! Guess it's the ****ed detent spring. I've already been into the front of this engine twice...

    Bad luck turned Good luck

    Hi all, well, took my favorite Rocket to p/u my mail. Hotter then hell, and too bright. Even though I have a tinted visor, I had to stop at Dollar General, for a pair of cheap sun glasses. (ZZ Top!) Ha! Coming home, just as I got near to the 60mph speed limit, (but not close enough) I twisted...

    Suggestions? 05 running problem

    My 05 that is stock, and only 3,200 miles, has developed, to me, a strange problem. Center cylinder isn't running right. After a few minutes run time, front and rear exhaust manifold temps are 285/290 center is 230. I have checked for loose coil wires. Bike has external fuel pump, set to 40...

    Best video yet....

    This is the best video I've seen yet, of the new Rocket 3 being put through it's paces. It's not in English though. Funny listening to the Guy's voice increase in pitch, every time he hits the throttle.

    Small World

    Hi all, went to one of my favorite Diners on the Rocket today. As I was getting ready to enter, 2 couples were coming out. One of the gentlemen said, "hey, that's a Triumph Rocket 3". I was amazed, and told them they were the first people I've run into that actually knew what it was. He said...

    Weird shift problem video

    Hi all, well, I must be feeling better, as I went out today, and pulled the front cover off my 05 Rocket. Besides a juddering clutch, which I think is from me leaving out the judder spring on my Barnett install, I've had this weird shift thing going on, for quite a long while. Kinda hard to...

    You all take care of yourselves

    Hi all, I'll be 70 years old this September. Lived a hard life, all self induced. Just had a TIA, (minor stroke) Friday, and just got out of hospital yesterday evening. Scared the chit out of me. Right side of body dead, couldn't speak, drooling out the side of my mouth, etc. etc. I'm feeling...
