    Rear brake fail

    Mine did the same thing, dealer replaced the ABS unit and it seems to be fixed. If your dealership is any good they should know about this!!

    Saftey recall

    Took my broken zippered bag to my dealer today and they have ordered me a replacement pair. Only pairs of bags in the states, no singles I was told. Great service from my dealer, Triumph of Albuquerque!! They are treating me very well whenever I have a problem with the 3R!

    Saftey recall

    Had the same problem with the rear brake getting air in the line somewhere. Dealer replaced the ABS module and so far so good. Now one of my poorly made panniers zipper has bit the dust!! Anyone have any other pannier options?? Man I really do love this bike. Went to a bike and coffee Sunday...

    Todays ride

    I like the tank bag as well. The only reason I don't always use it is I like to see the beautiful red paint 🤣 😁😁🚀

    Rear brake fail

    Only 1500 miles on my R3R and it’s in the dealership now getting a new ABS module. This was the second time it happened so I hope this works.

    Front Brake Issues...

    My R rear brake pedal had to be pumped to get any stopping effect, worked fine one day and goofy the next. Took it to my dealer who kept it two days, gave me a nice new 900 Tiger to ride, and it's fine now. ??

    Riding Without Windshield

    I put a GT shield on my R and it didn't really do much. Added an extension screen about 4 inches tall and slightly wider than the stock GT screen and besides looking a little goofy it keeps quite a bit of wind off my chest, which is what I was after. Old body gets tired fighting the wind on this...

    15w50 castrol

    My dealer explained it this way. The piston rings are so large that their ability to maintain proper tension is reduced so the thicker oil is very important. They use the Motul but the sound of the engine changed a bit. I seem to hear more mechanical noise now, going to try and get the Castrol

    Triumph shift kit for 2.5L

    My buddy the salesman at my Triumph dealer talked me into the quick shifter and I really didn't think It would be a worthwhile addition but once it was installed[took couple weeks to come in] I love it! 4th 5th and 6th gears shifts are like an automatic, lower gears are a bit firmer. Is it...

    Combination lock on OEM Bags

    Both locks on my R failed within 1 month of use. Took them apart but haven't figured out the right spring tension on the wheels to make them work consistently. They unscrew from the bags with two screws and then 1 screw to take them apart. Just be careful so all the little springs and parts...

    For science... Have you been able to wheelie your new rocket 3?

    2.5L R3 pannier problem

    Don't give up on em. I took my lock apart and figured out what goes wrong. The discs are actually two parts. The upper disc with the numbers on it and then another wheel beneath the numbered one with a cutout in it and these two wheels are spring loaded together. First unscrew the two phillips...

    2.5L R3 pannier problem

    Here's an update on my pannier problem. My dealer pointed out that to replace my bad pannier they would have to re key the bike because the lock mechanism can't be changed on the pannier.!! No thanks I said and started watching U tube videos on these locks. Bottom line is these locks are junk...

    Triumph shift kit for 2.5L

    I bought the quick shifter when I bought the bike. Dealer got the shifting shaft for the GT and I've got the R. So I get to wait a bit longer. Have heard it's a lot of fun to use!

    Thoughts on ordering a hybrid R/GT Rocket?

    I took the R demo for a test ride thinking I would like the GT bars better but not the forward pegs. After 10 minutes I found the R bars to be very comfortable. So I bought the demo, it's RED!!!!, and added all the luggage, tank and back bag, luggage rack with back rest, quick shifter, heated...
