    TPS voltage readings in Tune ECU

    Any luck with your issue? I've been having the same issue with the hanging idle. Same as yours, except it will jump back and forth between 900ish and 1200 ish for durations while stopped. I've been wondering if I need a new TPS or if it's tune related. I believe I'm running a Claviger tune. If...

    Radiator cap leaking on top

    same thing happened to me recently after changing the coolant. Nothing showing up as compatible with the Rocket. Likely going to pay the $25 for an OEM one if i can't find a better alternative

    Quick final drive install question

    Haha turns out I used blue. My memory is crap. I had two bike projects going on at once and I used the red for a different application on my vmax.

    Quick final drive install question

    It's the permatex red. Hopefully I can break it. Thanks again.

    Quick final drive install question

    Thank you. I feel better, now. Thing is, the threadlocker applied from the factory had to be brushed off with a metal brush. The blue stuff easily peels off. So I'm not sure which compound they used. ****, I think I may have went with the red for the torsion reaction bolt (I think that's what...

    Quick final drive install question

    So I performed my first tire change and spline greasing. Used loctite 8012, thinking back, I may have applied a little too generously in the shaft but I dont imagine that causing a problem. My question is, would blue threadlocker suffice for the 4 nuts holding on the final drive unit? At least...

    Welcome from the Bay Area, Ca. I'm just wondering how they managed to burn the clutch out in 1 mile? Did they hoist it up while in gear? Or maybe they just did one real sick burnout....anyway, at least you got it back.

    Strange issue. Headlight goes out and abs light comes on

    Thank you for that. The tail light kit I plan on installing is different. Hopefully I dont experience these issues. If you're able to isolate the problem with your system, please give an update. I'm curious now what the problem could be.

    Strange issue. Headlight goes out and abs light comes on

    Would you mind sharing what rear LED you installed? Was it the fault of the taillight, or was it damaged during installation? I have a custom dynamics LED integrated run/ brake/turn signal that I've yet to install and I'm worried it may be the same one you had trouble with.

    Best Tire Size for Handling

    That's a tough call. I personally bought all the tools needed to remove my wheels and bring to the shop. I havent done it yet, but I need a new rear asap. Maybe if you document the condition of the bike just before you leave it with them, they'd be responsible if they were to damage the plastic...

    Best Tire Size for Handling

    That's weird. I could see them making an issue about mounting the road 5 backwards, but I've never once heard about any problems arising from mixing brands or treads.

    Best Tire Size for Handling

    After installing Thunderbike t-bars, I felt the effort needed to push the bike over was reduced big time. The stock bars felt mostly comfortable to me, but awkward when turning. The t-bars seem to put the leverage right where its needed to lean the bike. Then I just installed some custom...

    Anyone have A9638031 oval mirrors on their R3T?

    I would say they vibrate a bit, but I honestly havent had a mirror that didnt. As long as they can hold still enough to indentify the lights on top of a CHP cruiser, I'm good.

    Anyone have A9638031 oval mirrors on their R3T?

    I have the black ones on a 2015 roadster. I did have to file down about 1/8" or more by the bottom threads to get one side to fit tightly. If they are convex, it is very slightly. The stock roadster mirrors were very convex and terrible to try and see out of. I dont get that "fun house mirror"...

    JW Speaker Adaptive 1 Find

    So I've been able to test them out a few nights and I'm very happy with them. The adaptive feature works very well so I assume they are authentic. I had Wisamics with halos before, but these light up the road better and more thoroughly, then combined with the adaptive feature, make them a much...

    Nitron shocks upgrade

    So, no surprise, but they are a massive improvement over stock. Both in handling and comfort. I used to have to slow down big time for turns and force the bike over, but now the slightest pressure either direction on the bars and the bike easily leans over. I'm not sure how much of that is due...

    Nitron shocks upgrade

    Sales@nitron.co.uk There is an American distributor if you google Nitron shocks, but I remember the price was higher than from the UK, so I dealt with them. It took a while, about a month and a half to be shipped if I remember correctly, because they were waiting on a piston rod, likely because...

    Nitron shocks upgrade

    Still on the stock Metz. Only been able to put a few hundred miles on it since I bought it in Nov. 2700 total miles on it.

    Nitron shocks upgrade

    Yeah I was planning for that. I read a 1" overall increase would help the handling a lot. I can get my feet firmly planted to the ground now, probably a little less after the changes. I have an extra stock seat from a classic and my plan was to shave down some of the foam for a lower ride height...
