    How is 2023 Rocket 3 in terms of riding that includes sudden maneuvers and sudden stops?

    Having owned a 2007 Classic and now a 2021 R3 GT, I can tell you the handling is far superior on the newer models. Not even close!

    Rocket TFC back at factory!

    Idiotic electronic keys! Who the f*** came up with this stupidity. Always keep the standard key with you...I keep mine on the same ring as my electronic one. You can start the bike holding the standard key next to the rear on the left side. Read the manual!

    Rocket TFC back at factory!

    Ridiculous! Do you not have Lemon Laws in Britain or at least implicit warranties on new products? Triumph needs to replace your bike! No known fix to the software that THEY sold to you? This is only mechanical or electronic BS which can be REPLACED!! F them and have them replace the ECU or a...

    Starting Issue

    WD 40 just has to leave a residue! Why else would using it on squeaky hinges keep them silent if it all evaporated. That being said, I've used it for years on electrics with no problem!

    Avon Chrome Tires

    I have the Avon Chromes on my brand new R3GT. Only a few hundred miles are them but feel good. I've had many problems with Avons in the past on my Boss Hoss. I had two out of round tires and vibration issues. Avon is not yet my favorite brand!

    Are mid controls on the new Rocket 3 GT worth it???

    I'm 5'8" ( 30 inch inseam) and had the controls moved to the rearmost position on my new GT. I knew I had the option of mid controls but after several miles of riding...I'm very comfortable with this setup. As far as I'm concerned, the bars on the GT are perfect!

    Strange Noise When Adjusting Preload

    I decided to increase the tension of my rear preload on my brand new R3 GT (50 miles on her). At some point turning up the tension I heard a fairly loud metallic "Clang". The bike did not drop down at all. I thought it might have been a valve stuck in a guide that decided to seat itself although...

    Engine Issue

    I had a bent valve stem on my Carpenter Rocket. Rear intake valve. Carpenter said it was probably over-revved as well. Certainly not by me but he said maybe a tech at the dealer. Interesting that Triumph would not sell him one valve but only the entire set!! Carpenter made the valve himself!!

    Unkown Indiicator Light

    Thanks all. It's not the fuel light which is on the right side instrument cluster. In any case the light went out after several minutes of engine running. About that anti-rattle thing...I can just slip it back under the caliper with no problem?

    Unkown Indiicator Light

    On my 2007 R3 Classic. there is an indicator light that is staying on (orange) located at the bottom left of the left side pod ( speedometer). It is orange an right next to an engine graphic. What is this!? Another question: While changing my rear brake pads, I displaced some strange looking...

    Lifting a Roadster safely

    This is the Big Blue Lift which I have. The major problems are #1..its weight! OMG! The other problem is that the cross bars obstruct the oil change plugs. The lift is expensive and a pain in the ass to set under the bike. I hardly ever use this $800 + item! It is, however, a very well made and...

    Gas smell when hot

    I am trying to understand...but cannot, how pressure can build up in the gas tank if the vent tube is not obstructed. Simple physics says, "It can''t be"
