  1. Primary TPS shim.

    Thanks for the replies. I read all the posts after the bike started playing up. It only did it on occasion at first and I thought crook fuel. It was the new part number I ordered for the replacement and it looked the same except for a small o-ring. My dealer is pretty good and is chasing a...

  2. Primary TPS shim.

    Hi all. I have had 4 good years out of my 2005 R3 running a Pig9 scpecial tune ,tuneboy, K&n's and Japanese sports pipes. Anyway had the symptoms of the dreaded faulty TPS and bought a new one from my dealer after trying the tuneboy reset. The newest TPS has different part number but appears to...

  3. Weeping

    Mate my bike did exactly the same thing inside of a month old. Water pump seapage too.I would re torque every nut you can see on the engine and the bike for that matter. Those small bolts I used a 6 inch spanner and they all firmed up 1/4-1/2 of a turn on a cold motor. I would not worry to much...

  4. Hi Mileage Rockets

    Howdy all. Has been a long time between posts. Recently read an article in the local paper in Australia about an old boy getting around on his Triumph Rocket 3 with 275,000km which is 170,000miles on the clock. It did not mention any problems along the way The rider stated it was the best bike...

  6. 140cu Finally Here

    Thanks for the compliments. I have posted some close ups on the bearclaw. I did the filter mod as per Pig9 instructions. I decided to keep the bear claw. I used a fine tooth metal cutting jig saw blade. I put tape along edge so not to mark chrome and cut about 1 inch of bottom of the claw...

  16. New V-Rod coming???

    The V-Rod SE Screaming eagle kitted bike comes with a 240 back wheel and is exactly twice the price of a Rocket in Australia. Not a contest in performance or price. Now the 200hp V-Max due for release in next few months, now that's a different story.

  17. Peeing the green puddle!

    I have had exactly the same scenario. Only after I had topped it up slightly. I was getting the occasional drip from bottom of the water pump so added a little " Bars stop leak" radiator additive. That did the trick but it occasionally spits some from the over flow bottle. I think if it has much...

  18. Oil Temp Gauge - Rocket 3

    A harley 2000 Softail one fits the Rocket oil tanks nicely. Same diameter the oil marks on dipstick slightly different so I made a mark with a file. They are very cheap $15-$45 dollars depending on where you buy.

  19. Clutch Slippage

    I revisited clutch freeplay and released it a tad as well as lubed cable and all appears Ok will no sign of slippage so might have resolved the issue. I love a happy ending!!!!:)

  20. Clutch Slippage

    Yes the cable has just the right amount of free play as per manual. Its fine off the mark and will still lift a wheel in 1st just slips under full throttle in the higher gears.
