    Is it really necessary to bleed ABS when maintenance bleeding of brakes for R3T

    It's time to bleed the brakes of my 2015 R3T. In the past, I also bled the ABS module using DealerTool. But the other day I ran into a YouTube video where the guy making it claimed that almost no bikes actually need the ABS system bled during normal brake bleeding. He claimed that almost all...

    Bevel box gear oil: What do you use?

    My 2015 R3T owner's manual calls for Mobilube 75w-90 SHC synthetic hypoid gear oil for the bevel box. I say "my manual" because later manuals may recommend and different gear lube since Mobil tells me that Mobilube SHC oil was discontinued. I've been using Mobil 1 Synthetic 75w90 LS gear lube...

    Anyone know bevel box drain plug thread size, pitch, etc. for R3T

    Does anyone know the size of the bevel box drain plug - bolt size, pitch, etc. I have to repair with a Heli Coil type insert and I need to know what insedrt kit to get. I could use another size, of course, but it would be nice to use the original type magnetized drain plug. Any Triumph Parts...

    R3T - Stripped bevel box drain plug.

    I was changing the fluids getting ready for the new season when the darn bevel box drain plug stripped. It came out OK but would just spin and never tighten up when reinstalling it. I always torque it to spec at 15nm and it never tightened at all. The funny thing is threads didn't come out...

    Anyone have A9638031 oval mirrors on their R3T?

    Does anyone have A9638031 oval mirrors on their R3T? I ask because I was thinking of getting a pair but then I saw a review on Amazon where the reviewer said the stems are too short requiring him to take his hands off the grips to see what's behind him. But he tried them on a T100 Bonneville...

    Does anyone know of good battery that comes with electrolyte separate?

    Does anyone know of a good battery for a R3T that comes unfilled with the electrolyte packed separately? I've had to return two Scorpion batteries that came pre-filled. Voltage tested fine with both of them but their CCA was MUCH lower than they were rated and they could barely crank my...

    Scorpion batteries, BatteryStuff.com, voltage and CCA

    I figured it was time to replace the original five year-old battery in my R3T, not because it was bad but simply as preventative maintenance. After reading some reviews, I decided to order a 320 CCA Scorpion battery from BatteryStuff.com. The battery arrived in two days from across the...

    Recommendation for blind spot mirrors for R3T

    Can anyone recommend a good set of blind spot mirrors to go with the stock R3T mirrors? I do have a couple small, round blind spot mirrors now but they are not very useful at all. In fact, they are so useless that I might as well remove them but I'm wondering it there's something better out there.

    R3T Fuel level indicator not reading.

    As I was changing all the fluids on my 2015 R3T getting it ready to ride, I noticed that the fuel gauge was reading zero even though the tank is full. If anyone else has had this problem or has any suggestions, I'd like to hear from them. There was no problem with the bike when put away last...

    New horns - relay necessary or not.

    2015 R3T. I'm replacing the goofy "meep meep" horn that came on my R3T finally. I chose the P1AA 85114 Slim Line 400Hz + 500Hz set based on excellent reviews. I just received them today and tested them using my fully charged battery that isn't installed for the winter months but is being...

    Battery recommendations

    The Yuasa battery that came with my 2015 R3T is still going strong but I'm guessing I'll probably be replacing it this year. I'd like to hear recommendations for replacement batteries. Good experiences, bad experiences, etc., with different batteries. What do you recommend? What batteries...

    What did you find when you adjusted your valves.

    Well, I made another post a minute ago so, while I'm logged in, I'll post another question: For those of you who do your own work (like myself), I'd like to know what you found when you checked valve clearances at 20,000 (or 10,000 miles if you went by the incorrect recommendation in the...

    Rocket III Touring discontinued?

    Sorry if this is old news but a quick search here found nothing about this except old reports that the Touring was being discontinued that turned out to be false. I became suspicious that the R3T might be discontinued when I noticed that it isn't shown on some Triumph websites anymore. But I...

    Speedometer reading 3 mph over. Any way to calibrate?

    I seem to remember reading here or somewhere else that it's common for R3 speedometers readings to be off. I've suspected that mine was reading about 3 mph over since I bought the bike and I was able to confirm that it is doing that recently. It's no big problem and I can live with it but if...

    Leather embellishers

    With the weather turning bad, it's time to mess with trivial stuff. I'm thinking of putting a Triumph leather embellisher on my leather windshield bag just to dress it up a bit. (See picture below.) Triumph has two leather embellishers. One attaches with adhesive and the other attaches with a...

    Possible problem with Mobil1 M108 oil filter

    Just a heads up: If you are using Mobil1 M108 oil filters on your R3, there may be a problem. (I have been using them based on info I got in this or another Triumph site.) Twice in the almost 12,000 miles I've put on my R3T so far, the oil pressure light started going on. (The first time was...

    Oil pressure gauge for R3T

    Has anyone here installed a oil pressure gauge on their R3T? If so, what was involved in the installation? Where did you mount it? A picture would be great. The reason I ask is my 2015 R3T oil pressure light is coming on AGAIN. It goes on and off. (Yes, I know how serious OP is. I've...

    Does Rocket III have can-bus?

    More specifically, does a 2015 R3T have Can-Bus? I don't know a lot about Can-Bus but I need to know this because of something I'm going to purchase.

    Experience at Cascade Moto Classics - Beaverton, OR

    I'm not sure if this is the correct forum for this but, anyway, I happened to think of this while reading a different thread and thought I'd pass it along. Last summer while on a 6,000 solo trip to the west coast and back on my (then) new R3T, my oil pressure light started going on and off in...

    Confirmed: 1st Valve Clearance check s/b 20,000

    I'm opening a separate thread for this even though there are several threads about it so that there's more chance anyone interested will see it. I contacted Triumph USA and Triumph in England asking if the 1st valve clearance check s/b be at 10,000 as the manual states or if it was changed to...
