    2005 Rocket 3 with DMC SIdecar

    I did ride this rig for several months now and I am certain that there is nothing wrong with it. Those noises that I had mentioned are just normal sound coming from massive pistons. The only things I don't like about this rig is that it is hard to make left turns and gas consumption. I get 20...

    Nothing Turns On

    DeCosse: Thanks a milion. Your diagnostic was dead on. My bike is now running like the great bike it is. I appreciate everybody's help and I thank you all. You guys make owning an R3 a very enjoyable experience. Ride safe!

    Nothing Turns On

    I have just found the fuse # 11 at 30 amps blown. I am almost certain that's the issue. I will report back in 20 minutes after I have this fuse replaced.

    Nothing Turns On

    I just put a brand spanking new battery that reads 12.91 volts. Nothing still. I have lifted the tank to see underneath but I did not spot anything out of order. The funny thing in all of this is that no one has touched the bike all these months. The battery was completely dead when I took it...

    Nothing Turns On

    Howdy all? I have a 2005 R3 with a tad over 9300 miles. I bought it a few months ago. It was running fine until I went for a long vacation of several weeks. After I was back i neglected it for a few more weeks. So the bike sat there doing nothing for over 3 months. When I went to turn it on, I...

    Fun w/ a FZ1

    True story, although not as sexy as beating ****** rockets on public roads, it is still a testament to the raw power the R3 has even when saddled with a 400 lbs sidecar and carrying too large adults. I took a friend of mine yesterday for a nice ride around the neighborhood. He had his young...

    What motivates you?

    I just sold 3 of my 7 bikes. I understand 100% where you are coming from. i am not done thinning the herd. I still have a Ural 750 Tourist to sell along with a Kawasaki Vulcan 800 Classic. I would be down to just 2 bikes. Both of them are a lot of fun.

    What motivates you?

    Now that is probably the BEST reason I can think of.

    What motivates you?

    You did list almost EVERY reason why we have made the choice of buying our R3s. I would add that I don't look like Snoopy when I hop on it. It commands respect because it's such a huge bike. No one can dare to disrespect you. Especially not the Harley owners. Although my neighbors have both Road...

    What motivates you?

    I think that's more than ONE reason. But I would have to agree that the main reason I am suspecting all of us share is definitely there. I too am big and most bikes look like mopeds under my big and chunky ass. I suspect most of us fall into this category. However, I think that some are simply...

    What motivates you?

    I think that HD prices have something to do with it. But how about the Europeans where HD bikes are more than a luxury item?

    I actually don't take any drugs. I just thought that Aussie land was down under. What am I missing?

    Welcome aboard, but you know what they say: Without pictures, it did not happen.

    New Fella

    Is it true that in Aussie land bikes ride on the forks and seat and the tires are always up? I could have sworn that the pictures of Aussie riders are all photoshopped to make them look normal. Is this true or is it one of those urban legends? Get rid of the Harley and you can buy another R3...

    What motivates you?

    Howdy all? I am fairly new to the R3 world. However I could not stop myself from noticing that the buyers of this beast of a bike have something in common. I think I have a pretty good idea what unites us all. Anyway, this is a bit of an informal way to find out what really motivates most of us...

    Hello from the Chicago suburbs!

    Howdy? I am fairly close to you and my R3 has a sidecar. I live in Naperville. I am new to the R3 world and I can assure you that this bike is no joke. It is BIG and CHUNKY just like the famous line in Madagascar the movie.

    Thanks. I will do that tomorrow. I appreciate the invaluable input I am getting here.

    What color is my bike?

    Is there some place on the bike to know the actual color code?
