    Hi All, So my water pump was leaking (from the vent) on my 2006 Rocket 90,000km , I got a new pump. I notice that the seal is installed backwards compared to the original. Which one is right? (old pump on left, new one on right) Would orientation of the seal affect anything? I'm afraid I will...

    How do you refit the rear wheel ?

    I make sure it's all clean first, clean the final drive of old grease Refitting the rear wheel, I usually put a smear of blue (water resistant)grease on the spindle, a little inside the seals before I put the spacers back and some on the splines. How much grease do you put?

    How HOT is your final drive?

    I finally got her back together. Took her for a spin, everything seem to be fine. Looking for hot spots , (yes I'm talking about the rocket) touching the final drive it's hot! I only rode for 25 minutes at 20C, any warmer I wouldn't keep my hand on it. I changed the oil last year. Had no...

    Throttle cable adjustment

    Before I start, I must say I don't think I'm an idiot..... So I'm trying to adjust the throttle cables as per the shop manual. It's not my first time but every single time I go thru the same thing. I adjust the pull cable with free-play of 2-3 mm at the handle. Then tighten the return to 2-3mm...

    Clutch reassembly troubles (Paranoid maybe?)

    First things first. I'm reassembling the clutch and I noticed some wear from the springs on the pressure plate. Should I worry about this or is this typical? It's quite hard to say exactly what is the depth of it. (See pictures) Then I noticed what appears to be a hairline crack in the inner...

    Sorry if the answer is already somewhere in here, I couldn't find any thread about camshaft removal. Had the camshafts out, putting it all back together then the shop manual calls for a Triumph tool to keep the cams in place before fitting the timing chain. Is there a way to do this without...

    Loose Oil Pump chain?

    So I got the front engine cover and clutch off. Looking at the oil pump chain, it has a lot of play. I don't see any specs or adjustments in the shop manual. Anyone has experience with this? Let me know if this is normal or how I should proceed. Thanks in advance

    Anyone recommends any coolant? Anyone uses Propylene Glycol instead of Ethylene? As for colour, I know that for cars the color dictate which type of seals the coolant is compatible with. Is it the same for motorcycle or is there a standard for bikes? thanks for your input!
