    Gearbox problems

    I have just read that 2014 Roadsters suffer from the dreaded circlip problems in the gearbox. I thought these problems were sorted out by the 2010 model years. I purchased a 2014 model on that understanding 5 years ago and have no trouble at the moment. Can anybody say if this is true?

    Battery replacement

    I need to replace my battery on my 2014 Roadster. If i remove the old battery and get delayed in fitting the new one for any length of time will the bike loose any settings or instruments? I know this sounds like a stupid question but i read about many problems with the electronics on these...

    Draining fuel pump

    Just a question. If you want to park up the bike for maybe a year, (2014 Roadster) is it possible to remove all of the fuel from the fuel pump without removing it, or is there another way to clean out the pump apart from fuel stabiliser to ensure the fuel wont degenerate and block the system...

    OIl over 6 Years Old

    I have some Valvoline Fully Synthetic oil that has been stored for 6 years. It looks ok and is still in sealed containers. Has anybody used old oil like this.

    Engine breather pipe

    Good morning people. I have had my 2014 Roadster with 12800 miles on it parked up for 2 months and today noticed a very small oil patch on the floor which appears to be from the breather pipe under the engine. The pipe has an oil mist around it so i assume this may be just normal? I hav'nt...

    Cleaning out Injectors and Fuel pump

    Just a small technical question. Can anybody tell me how i can remove all the fuel from the injectors and the fuel pump to prep for storage to prevent the gum up problems you get with E10 fuel? I do not want to strip the bike down. Any advice would be welcome please. Sorry, i seem to have posted...

    TORS Exhaust Tune

    I have discovered my bike has a TORS tune on it (according to the tune number read by Dealertool i used) but it has standard pipes. I have the Triumph dealer paperwork where the 1st owner had them fit them so i assume they put on the TORS tune too. When i purchased the bike the standard pipes...

    Oil level drop in oil tank (Again)

    Sorry, i have asked before but now it drains down quicker. I have a 2014 Rocket 3 Roadster with 12000 miles on the clock so really nothing should be worn yet. The oil tank has drained down into the sump overnight a couple of times now, which seems pretty fast to me. I have replaced the one way...

    Avon Chrome Tires

    I have just changed my 2014 R3 roadster tires to Avon Chrome and it has made a great improvement. It seems to ride like a different bike. The front tire was worn unevenly and the rear was a little squared off but so i do not know how much that effected the ride but it was cornering like a dead...

    Brake Disc Bolts

    The workshop manual says if you remove the brake disc retaining bolts you have to renew them. My question is, is this really necessary. (10 bolts at £67 is expensive). Any thoughts on this please?

    Strange tyre wear

    I have just noticed my front tire has worn very unevenly. Its a Metzeler me880 Marathon. Some parts have worn almost to the wear indicator and other parts of it are fine. With this wear it makes the tire look worn in a wavy pattern. The bike has been handling like a brick and now i know...

    Spark Plugs

    Which spark plugs are now the correct ones to fit? World of Triumph list NGK DPR7EA-9 and the handbook says NGK DPR8EA-9. Does it matter and does anybody know the difference? Thanks for any opinions and advice.

    ECU Tune question

    I purchased a 2014 roadster a couple of years and this week read the ECU with the Dealer tool i recently purchased. It shows the loaded tune number is 020776. I see on the receipts i got with the bike that it had Triumph TOR pipes on it but now has the standard pipes on it when i purchased the...

    Side stand

    Just a question as i haven't got the bike yet. Does the side stand on the new Rocket 3 bolt directly to the alloy engine case the same as the old roadster does? There doesn't appear to be an under frame for the foot pegs etc. to bolt on to as the older Roadster has. Does everything bolt...

    Dealer tool

    Can anyone tell me if Dealer Tool still has any incompatibility problems with Windows 10 on a laptop. (its a new laptop with the latest microsoft updates). I have read it was troublesome to load a couple of years ago and worked best on Win. XP and Vista? Do you still need old drivers for it to...

    Riding style and gearbnox problems

    Is it really the fact that if you ride the rocket hard the gearbox explodes and if you are a fairly medium/easy rider they are trouble free? I find the performance fantastic without hammering the life out of it. It still scares me on the acceleration. (and i have a Hayabusa too and that...

    Avon Cobra Chrome Tyres
