    For Sale 2008 Touring Silencers

    2008 Touring Silencers: These were removed and replaced with D & D pipes by the original owner. As best I can recall they were too quiet for some owners. I was about to donate them to the local landfill but now wondering if someone wants them. There is a small dimple on the top inboard area of...

    Can’t Disconnect

    My speedometer started to operate intermittently a few months ago. The odometer also went dead and remains so. I checked the fuses, relays and speed sensor and see no problems there. Last thing I can think of to do is disconnect the connector between the gauge harness and the main harness...

    Gauges Gone Wild

    Last year my odometer stopped working. After seeing how expensive and/or difficult it would be to fix I settled on installing under the seat and inside the air filter box a GPS Speedo/Odometer designed for boats. Works great. A few months ago my gauges, both tach and speedo, stopped sweeping...

    Stainless Steel?

    My brother-in-law has offered to remove my catalytic converter on my '06 Classic and make a cross pipe. He also suggested considering the the option of removing the innards of the cat box and leaving it in place with the thought the exhaust sound may improve, He needs to know if the cat and...

    Coolant Temp Gauge?

    Riding back to my inland home from the beach two days ago the temp was 105 + at my house. Within a few miles of my home after traveling approximately 50 miles from the beach, where I am guesing temps were near 90, my engine was so hot I had to spread my legs (very un-lady-like) at a 90 degree...

    Panic, Saddlebag Lid Lock Fail

    Good grief. This shaved about 5 years off my life. I've never used the lid locks on my 2008 Touring model. When checking them out of curiosity to see which of my keys locked them(ignition key) I could easily lock them by turning the key 90 degrees and remove the key but I could not unlock...

    Gear Position Sensor

    Having read recommendations about cleaning sensors I removed the GPS on my '08 R3 Touring model. I used electrical contact cleaner. I was surprised by a couple things, first, the sensor does not look like pictures I have seen and second, I did not find a plunger spring that I have read about...

    Bolt Identification

    While locating the crank position sensor on my '08 Rocket Touring model I noticed a bolt with approx. 1/2" to 3/4" of thread showing. It is also loose as a goose. It is below the starter, to the left of the crank position sensor and above the sump. Nothing is leaking out of it and I don't see...

    Better Late than Never

    I installed an Avon Cobra to replace the worn out Metzler on the front wheel when I bought my '06 Classic a few years ago. The Cobra combined with an Exedra Max on the rear wheel was the ideal combination according to the words of wisdom at the time. Well, after a few thousand miles with that...

    Allen Head Hex Socket Size?

    When I bought my '06 Classic a few years ago the first thing I needed was a new front tire. I removed the wheel axle("spindle") to remove the wheel but I'll be darned if I can remember what I used on the axle or where it is now. Measuring flat to flat(is that right or should it be corner to...

    Cat Removal Questions

    One of the first things done to my '09 Harley Ultra when new was cats removal and new headers/pipes installed. On my two Rockets I've never felt the need to do that considering how powerful they are as is with the cat boxes still in there. However my Brother-in-law, a retired welder/metal...

    "Evaporative System"

    That's what my service manual calls that charcoal canister with the hoses attached to it. I removed it from my '06 Classic a couple years ago to make room for the Suzuki R/R to replace the original R/R and hopefully thereby improve the odds of extending stator life expectancy. I did the same...

    Odometer Replacement

    The odometer on my 2006 Classic recently died at approximately 30,200 miles. All the other functions on the speedometer continue to work. I consulted with DEcosse, one of the forum's electrical Gurus. He suggested replacing the speedo with an aftermarket gauge and offered to make an adapter...

    Odometer Dead

    The digital odometer display window in my 2006 Classic speedo gauge has gone blank. Everything else works in all my gauges, speedo, tach, gas and clock gauges. Bike runs fine with 30,000 plus miles. DEcosse does not recall encountering a gauge problem limited to the odometer alone but...

    Rear Wheel Removal

    I am wondering if there are any shortcut/alternatives to my service manual instructions. I need to replace the rear Bridgestone Excedra Max. on my '08 Touring. Manual says remove both panniers, both silencers, pannier rail link(that bar that goes behind the wheel between the pannier rails) and...

    Truth In Advertising?

    Interesting eBay ad for an '08 Rocket Touring. It notes: "Triumph Rocket III. Great bike, runs strong. Slips out of gear but will stay in gear with foot on shifter. Local pick up."

    M6 Thread Blues

    Finished installing a Ramair unit, went to hold down tank with the chrome Allen head bolt and it won't go but maybe a 1/4" into the threads. I think I know what happened. When I first held up the tank with the strut it didn't seem right but the correct end of rod was in the hole and was...

    RamAir and Expansion Tank

    I've removed the stock air plenum on my '06 classic and preparing to install a RamAir unit. Now, of course, it occurs to me that the expansion tank might block airflow to the filter. Do I need to move the tank or can it stay in place? I've done a forum search and see people have relocated the...
