    Mystery Driveline Issue

    2005 R3 with 26K miles. 3rd owner. I have had bike for a few years. Live in Florida and weather is close to 90F. When the engine gets hot I'm getting some odd slow speed drive-line behavior. I cannot tell if the issue is possibly a clutch or an output bearing problem. When going slow in 2nd or...

    2005 Speedometer dissassembly info

    My speedometer vibrates up/down way more than the tachometer. I have to open the gap between my clock pod. I want to be able to tighten up the mounting hardware but I'm unsure how to get the reset knob off. Since the bike is very old I really don't want to over-stress the knob getting it off...

    Off Idle Throttle Response when Warm

    2005 R3 with 25K miles. The off idle throttle response of my bike changes once the bike warms up. When cold it is crisp and sharp. When warm it is not. More like a slight stumble or like it has "loaded up". Bike seems fine other than that. Fan comes on when you would expect so temp sensor seems...

    Arresting aluminum oxidation on forks, triple clamps and shocks

    Bike has lived it's entire life near the ocean in FL. I'm the 3rd owner. 25K miles. Paint was immaculate but the chrome was a bit rough and there was some cancer in the clear coated aluminum. I cleaned up the chrome as best as I could and bought some used OEM mirrors. I decided to attack the...

    Driveshaft Spline Lube

    I'm getting ready to order a new rear tire so I want to be prepared. I have read many conflicting opinions on the web debating the "best" Moly paste to use on the driveshaft splines. Honda M77 (Dow Corning Molykote?) seems to be the first choice. One contender not mentioned much is Bel-Ray...

    Occasional stalling coming to stop

    New to me 2005 with 23K miles. The bike has stalled 4 times in the past month. Stalling occurred while in 2nd gear and slowing down to come to stop. The R3 makes the same BIG clunk like my old Vulcan 2000 when shifting from 2nd to 1st prior to coming to a stop. Due to this I wait till a fairly...

    Original TORS internal pics needed

    I think one of my TORS pipes is the source of a resonance buzz during accel and decel. Originally I thought it was the license plate but a bunch of rubber bumpers later and the buzz persists. A few raps with a rubber mallet identified one of the TORS as the likely offender. I took the end cap...

    Engine Powercoat Blisters

    My engine has "blisters" in the powder coat on the right side of the engine. Some are quite large. When I remove a blister, instead of oxidized aluminum as one would expect I find what looks like a second layer of powder coat or some type of primer. I don't mind that I did not find oxidation but...

    Start Button Issues

Based on a search of the forum I opened the right control to gain access to the Start button. Two big screws to remove the switch assembly from the control and one small screw and a zip tie...

    Searched the forum but no recent recommendations for a USB dongle. Any link to a source on eBay or Amazon that has a high probability of working?

    Clock Pod Sustitute Bulb

    This is the closest bulb I could find locally to replace the illumination bulb in the clock pod. The original bulb is a T6.5 12 volt 1.7 watt. The replacement is a Sylvania 74LL.BP2 which is a T6.5 12 volt 1.4 watt bulb.

    Upgrade Flyscreen to clear shield

    Is there a larger clear windscreen screen available that will mount using my existing Flyscreen hardware and fork mounts? The other option is a clear windscreen that can use the existing fork mounts. I would like to deflect the wind above my head.

Before I pull it off to replace can someone tell me how much will leak out if I remove the filter without draining the sump? Filter used is a...

    Grey Engine Paint source?

    My new to me 2005 R3 engine has a bunch of large bubbles in the powder coat on the right side of the engine. I want to remove them and prime and paint to slow down the deterioration. Anyone know of a close color match for the grey?

    2005 TR3 Roadster TORS no CAT

    New to me 2005 TR3 Roadster, TORS no CAT, 23K miles. Third owner of bike. No idea what "tune" the bike has. Bike pops a lot on decel and does not seem that fast. I looked for a baseline tune for the mods this bike has but no luck. Can someone give a link or number of the "base" tune from the...

    Clock/Fuel gauge pod mounting clamps replacements

    2005 bike new to me. The handlebars are heavily corroded. Unfortunately the Clock/Fuel gauge pod mounting clamps are trashed. The bolts for the clamps are semi seized so any attempt to remove them would destroy them. Any line on replacement clamps?

    New to me 2005 Rocket III owner

    Had the bike a week. 23K miles. Bought from a friend. He was the 2nd owner. We both live beachside in Central FL. Tons of cleaning up and corrosion mitigation due to him not caring. It's sad how poorly done the chrome plating is done on some bikes. My Stratoliner is similar in the poor plating...
