    Photos of a R3T with thin white wall tires

    I used to be the one who had white walls on my Harley and it took alot of WD-40 and alot of work to keep them relatively clean. Why would one want more elbow grease hobby for a greater price, some one might ask?!?!?!?!

    Oil

    Around here it should be 10w-40 full syn. Did use 15w-50 for couple of years. Harleys use 20w-50 mineral oil. My 1990 Suzuki DR 650 likes (Exxon)Mobil Delvac 15w-40 mineral truck diesel oil (or is it semi-syn???). Go figure....????

    R3T Trunk tuning

    I just ordered; FRAME COVER KIT - CHROME A9738099 for 49€ ($56.5) + shipment (expensive in Finland I can tell you). Front fender rails I already have.

    Not as much fun.

    I also had the same symptoms and the reason was the primary TPS. Replaced it and got the voltage right -> no more backfire or hiccups. With the broken TPS the bike was running really bad.

    Brake light adjustment question.

    Looks like the same kind of pressure switch I replaced on my ex-Harley. Be fast and you don´t even have to bleed the brake. In my case the same switch was used on several cars so I went to a local auto part store and got for alot less (only a few €) than I would have had to pay for the...

    Nice 08 R3 Tour for sale

    Six years and 500 miles (800km) or ten years and 7000 miles (11200km). Yeah right. Why do people buy motorcycles to not to ride them? I cannot afford that! Those two bikes are beautiful I do have to admit that. Cars are extremely expensive in Finland and the salt on the roads during wintertime...

    GI Pro finally installed!

    For some reason unknown, my gear indicator is sometimes slow at responding to fast acceleration. Well not actually fast acceleration but for changing gears up really fast. Does not want to keep up. Sometimes needs to re-start the bike to get the gear indicator kind of re-calibrated. Any ideas or...

    Rocket 3 oil capacity

    Many people here in Finland use truck or some might say diesel engine oils in their motorcycle engines. A friend of mine uses this (OpenGraphTitle) with his Yamaha R1 with quite high power engine and no problems what so ever and I use the same for my Suzuki DR 650. Don´t know about the friends...

    Great price for a basic set of shocks for the Rocket

    Soon everything is manufactured or assembled in China or Thailand. I believe it is the quality controllers job keep up the quality standards. Many Triumphs and Harleys are made in Thailand, right? Total crap?

    TOR (Triumph Off Road) silencers. Not legal but quiet enough.

    Battery Tender....sorry if this has been discussed, but:

    You seem to have a lot of problems starting your bikes up. Here in Finland summer is like winter in most places and I never have had a need to charge my battery during summer time. Some times do but just for maintenance reasons not for power running out. I use Ctek charger (MXS 3.8). Not that...

    Oil Drain Plug washers

    With my mileage or kilometers to be exact, I change oil once a year. I go to the local dealer and tell them I want all washers and the rubber ring to change oil in my Rocket. Costs me like 8-9€ (9-10 dollars). I don´t really want to run around trying to find a cheaper solution and spent like 20€...

    Electrical Burning Smell

    Better to have your bike stolen than to live with that piece of sh.t alarm. Had mine uninstalled short after I bought the bike.

    Take precautions

    Always ask for potential buyers drivers license or cash as a collateral and then maybe let him/her go for a test drive. Not a 100% guarantee but better this than sorry. Not nice to read about these kind of things.

    Thank you - First tune - 2015 R3T

    Finland is a (relatively) large country with only few people so I only found one company making custom exhaust pipes and stuff. It´s like 220km from Helsinki so I don´t want to drive over for nothing. Better to call or email them first. This is getting interesting...

    Thank you - First tune - 2015 R3T

    "Well if you cannot be fast you might as well be loud." Heh, this is what I tell myself while riding my Suzuki DR 650RS. She sure is loud and slow compared to the beast. I had to put the db-killer back in the silencer since otherwise she made children cry bypassing them on the streets. Friend...

    R3T Add Ons

    No it´s not for moving. You need the wheels to lift the beast. I use it for washing the bike, maintenance, repairs and winter storage as I mentioned earlier. Great product.

    R3T Add Ons

    The wooden lifter is nice but I prefer metal (Becker-Technik rocket 3 - Lifter d 8mm). This one is great also for winter storage. The wooden one is cheaper I agree....

    Avon Cobra White Walls Wheel Wobble WTF ?

    I had a wobble problem with my Speedmaster back in the day that turned out to be related to the rear suspension pre-load being too soft. Of course if you change the tire and wobble is gone it cannot be that... The second time I had that problem was with a Continental front tire gone bad so...
