    Stock Bike Sound Check

    Afternoon Everybody. For peace of mind, I changed the oil in my R3R today even if the person I bought it from said they did. I went with Mobile 1 4t 10w/40 and the Wix 51358 filter. End up putting right around 5.5 quarts and the oil is right up to the top line of the dip stick. Since the R3R...

    Afraid of the New Bike Electronics?

    It seems that a lot of threads are going that are dealing with electrical problems. This interesting thing is they are all on the older bikes.:rolleyes::laugh::laugh::laugh: There has been some discussion of the fears concerning the new R3 electronics. Looks like the older bikes are ones...

    Hoping for a better fit

    Just got my R3 Touring. Bought in from out of state. Was hoping that it might fit better than my VTX1800R. Like my 1800, I've put handle bar risers which bring the bar higher and closer, but I put them on backwards pushing them out. That helps. I've also gone with extended hi way pegs...

    Yes I'm in love with this bike!

    Got to play for about 200 miles in the Ozarks yesterday and I am in love with this bike. The power is great but that's not what impressed me the most. The handling is what really got me. I was going through familiar roads faster than I ever had without effort. Never felt like I was pushing it...

    Jacking up Bike

    Drying the bike after washing

    Anyone have any recommendation on 120 VAC blowers to dry the bike (preferably inexpensive). I've seen the heated MC blowers - are they really that much better than a home store leaf blower? I'm tired of fixing my gas blower and having mix for it. The only thing I use it for now is drying the...

    Anyone ever enter your bike in a bike show? I know around my small town I think I have the only Rocket in town and being a unique, seldom seen bike that maybe it would be fun to enter in bike shows. Why the hell not....

    Kawasaki H2 SX SE for bike #2?

    I think I’m in love. However, I’ve never seen one in person! Think I’d have to get the bars raised for a more upright position tho....Brock’s has made 240 to the tire with air filter, pipe and tune.

    Running Rich (the bike, not me) & Faltering Idle

    OK, here's the deal...over a stretch of 300-400 miles, mostly back and forth to work, I noticed my fuel mileage began to drop. During this period of time the idle began to go lower and rougher, until it reached the point where I had to keep the rev's up when I stopped, otherwise, it would stall...

  14. Not new to Rockets, or this bike either, but new back on the road.

    Bought my first rocket (a 2005) as my welcome back home gift from Iraq in early 2007. A sweet silver ride. Cruised on is between trips to SW Asia (contractor for Gen Dynamics). Came back in 2012. Fell in love and got married (again) Oct 2014. My bride decided she liked the east coast better...
