    Lamonster- 2020 TFC

    Hey Lamonster! Wow, it's been a long time.. I am still a member of the M109R forums back from 2006 when you were active back then. Got rid of the 9 for a Rocket 3 for a few years and have moved on since to other machines, but its nice to see some familiar faces. Welcome!

    Battery Tender Question

    My experience with battery situations like this is that if the battery is so gone that it wont even light up the gauges, its toast my friend. Yes, you may be able to charge it and get it up to some level of voltage, but it will be an unreliable battery that can and probably will strand you when...

    Phone / GPS ram mount

    For the most secure phone mounts, you must check out slip grip mounts. Google Slipgrip mounts and you will find a mount that fits your phone in specific cases, and the mount you get fits 100% perfect, no areas that are open for it to slide out -- and they can be installed on Ram Mounts as well.

    Spy shots new rocket

    This.. is amazing. As a techy kind of guy who likes futuristic stuff, this is my new bike of my dreams... I love it. It's like a super beefed up Diavel, can't wait to see one in person and see the specs. I probably wont buy one because that time has passed for me (baby and a mortgage) But I love...

    For Sale Someone buy me out of my loan

    Hi Steel... You can try going to uship.com and trying to get bids on the job. I shipped a bike from Alberta to Ontario door to door for $600 CAD. You make an account, create a job and shippers from everywhere bid on your job for the opportunity. You can pick the one that has the best offer. Just...

    1st gear selection problem

    Hi ABC123. I understand your frustration with selecting first gear. I see this is your first bike as well. You should know, that almost every single motorcycle I've ever owned, from every manufacturer, you cannot select 1'st gear always when you are not actually moving. If you are standing still...

    [aged out] Eastern Beaver Dual Headlight Relay Kit

    Hi Everyone! I've sold my rocket about a year ago and noticed that I still have an unopened, sealed and fresh eastern beaver relay kit for the Rocket Roadster. I live in Canada, so if there are any Canucks that need this kit, save on shipping from overseas... Is $40 reasonable? You pay...

    Things I've learned commuting on the Rocket

    1) Yes, they are cheap and make sure to buy with the wiring harness to make it absolutely dead simple to install. I personally split the horn and installed the compresser under the left side cover and ran a clear tube to the front where the stock horn is and replaced it with the stebel horn...

    Brand new Rocket 3 transmission issue

    I'm the type of guy that buys new bikes every 3-4 years. I've owned a lot. The Rocket was one of my best bikes I've bought for sure, but in my case I've always wanted to try Adventure Riding so I purchased a 2016 Yamaha Super Tenere ES -- The reason being that while the rocket is an awesome...

    Brand new Rocket 3 transmission issue

    I dont have mine anymore but I would buy it, it's worth owning one in your life time. I loved my 2012 Roadster! It never ever gave me any problems, it was a good solid bike.

    Switched running power

    Hi Anomaly. I don't know why you haven't had a better response yet, but the best power source you can ask for for switched power I found is under the left side cover. Under neath the cover, you'll have to look for it, but there is a open plug that is used for some reason we are not sure of but...

    2018 Triumph Rocket

    I think you guys are totally dreaming. There is no way they are going to make a larger engine for the next rocket. With new restrictions for emmisions and fuel efficiency, its more likely they will lower the CC's and make it more "fuel efficient" and in spec with the new european market...

    She won't go..!!!

    From what it sounds like, is that you have a bad battery. Yes I know you load tested it, but when you hear that clicking... your battery is on its way out.. Put a new battery in and call it a day!

    Best GPS ?

    OK for you people who are adament on having a Cell Phone device (Android) for using for maps and navigation, yes you certainly can get offline maps and stuff on those devices... But don't buy some old piece of garbage, there are some really good alternative android phones out there from Chinese...

    Best GPS ?

    OK Since no one else mentioned it I will do it. If your looking for a relatively inexpensive GPS, go for a Garmin NUVI with a good mounting system. Don't worry about that "Waterproof" and "Vibration proof" crap. I can assure you that I've been riding with NUVI's for more then 10 years with...

    A horn question

    Use the relay kit. It's such an easy way to install a horn, and I would go for an air horn anyway if your using the relay. There are lots of options on how to install on on the rocket.

    HansO's New Bike

    Congrats on the new Ride Hanso! I actually considered a Triumph Explorer very hard before I made my current purchase, a 2016 Yamaha Super Tenere ES. For me personally, the cost was very high... even on a used model. But in the end, you will love it... very zippy and of course, having the bags...

    better HORN

    Lots of posts in here including my post history explaining what we have done with Horns. I bought a Stebel as well and personally I split the horn in 2 so that the compressor hides underneath the left side cover, and I ran a small plastic clear tube to the front where I put the horn part so its...
