    Secondary TPS Fault 2005 Rocket

    I get the ole engine light fault and discover a bad secondary tps circuit fault. On testing it will show 0 to 3.8K ohms then open circuit from there. Local Triumph dealer business has been sold a couple of times and now I get a "don't have that part" with no further discussion. Others dealers...

    Another Avon Problem

    Well, at it again. This is my second AVON rear tire problem. The company replaced the last one with no problem after 3 months (refund of course). This time it is a crack in the sidewall. Pressure has never been below 39psi. Take it off, make the trip, wait wait wait. Darn it!:confused:

    Russell Day Long Seat Failure

    I guess it is normal to complain when you don't get your way with a dealer / supplier of parts. I sent my seats to Russell and have been very pleased with the results. My beef is the vinyl has started to fail and Russell can only comment the it must have been left in the sun. The pictures show...

    **** it. Soooooooooooo Close!

    Hopes of getting her back together for a new years ride vanished before my eyes. Getting ready to torque the pressure plate bolts when one broke and sent the spring skyward. Just did get close to 10nM. Now its going to be 1 to 2 weeks before new ones arrive. At least I got the stud out- could...

    Read my exhaust ports

    Thought I would take a pic and throw it out there. Here is a shot of my exhaust port, all pretty much identical. Running rich is I am sure out of the question. But is it too lean or just about right??

    OK I'm stumped for now. In the middle of the upgrade kit install. Got the bolt off the rotor in front of the stator. How do I release the taper lock on this booger??? I see a "special tool" . Looks just like the bolt with a pointed tip and a shoulder. Has anyone removed theirs without the...

    Returned Tire to Avon

    Avon Reps wanted to take a look the the cracks that showed up on the Avon rear tire I've been using. Ordered online so had to return through a local dealer. No problem with the dealer, he is handling everything. Don't really know how long these thinks take so mounted another one. This tire has...

    Removed Sump Pan

    Just a followup on a previous problem with an oil leak from my sump pan. Started replacing it tonight and thought I would share a few photos to compare the two just in case someone else has to go here. When you look close at the design there are a lot of places to hold crap - I'm sure it was...

    Wouldn't you be pissed!

    Just threw a rant about spending $60 for oil to replace a leaking drain plug:mad:. Boy was I stupid. Just hope I can get some help replacing the parts. Take a look at the movie and judge for yourself. Not high quality but you can get the point.

    Another Turn signal mod

    Almost got rear ended a few months ago and the excuse was "couldn't see your turn signals". I had changed the sagging POS to smaller chrome ones. This time I swapped to the products from "chris". Not me, but the manufacturer. These can have clear lens or led inserts. For me I stuck with the...

    No dimple for TDC- ideas ?

    Ok with manual in hand and half way through shimming #2 exhaust I am asked to find TDC by matching up the dimple to the mark on the casing. Guess they put my gear on backwards- no easy to find dimple at all. Will old school work here? I placed a rod through the plug entrance on #1 and watch...
