    Soft rear brake after recall

    It hasn't been very long since I had the rear master cylinder recall done and it's already back to the soft pedal again on first pump. It pumps up quicker and hasn't failed, but I don't think the air intrusion problem has been fully resolved. Just be sure to pump them up real good, like you...

    New Brake Recall!

    Hey everyone, there is a new brake recall here in the US (hopefully everywhere) for the rear brake issue many of us have experienced. They are replacing the rear brake master cylinder with a new, larger one. Apparently the NHTSA started investigating this in March of 23. I complained to them in...

  3. Rear brake bleeding

    Hello, I am doing a mid-peg modification, basically fitting the 3R pegs on to a 3GT bike. It all seems pretty straightforward, however I need to break into the rear brake line, which means I will no doubt introduce air into my rear brakes. I noticed that the rear brake line proceeds from the...

    Rear Brake Rotor

    Well I have been lucky so far with no problem with the mushy rear brake many have experienced but the rotor is loose and sloppy on the bolts and will need to be replaced. I have a new one on order and should be back to normal this week I hope. Anyone else experience this issue? I have a 2020...

    Not Happy! 3rd brake bleed required.

    So before I bought my 2020 Rocket it was on the showroom floor for around 8 months. I kept trying to lowball them and they kept declining. After 8 months they threw in the Panniers and rack and dropped the price a few cents so I bought it. I asked, after reading on this forum about rear brake...

    Whats the best brake pads for my customers bike

    My customer has a touring with our st2 supercharger conversion, he's hauling ass but can't get it stopped. We fitted brembo front callipers and its made an improvement but he still needs more stopping power. I'm thinking getting the best pads is the answer. What brand and version do you thinks...

    Rear brake gone.

    Looks like a regular complaint. Checked mine to see if it was in the recall group. Nothing there. Its been back to the dealership twice now. 8 hours of my life that I wont get back.

    ASV BRC550 + CRC550 brake/clutch levers 2020 R

    Hi has anyone ever fitted and ASV levers? I have fitted mine to a 2020 rocket 3 R and they fit but the clutch lever is a totally different shape. It bends the clutch dip switch massively! I have spoken with ASV and they can’t help! But I have seen them fitted on other forums, I have re shaped...

    rear brake bleed

    i am fitting a new rear brake switch and would like to know how easy is it to bleed the rear brake , my mechanic friend is a bit dubious about doing the brake bleed he is saying it might be easier to fit a pull switch connected to the brake pedal ?? i am not in favour of that idea

    Front Brake Clicking Noise

    Hey all. Picked up the new ride yesterday and I noticed when moving it around in the garage a clicking noise when I release the front brake. I plan on putting it on the lift to dive deeper into the issue but from a quick look at the calipers and rotors it all looks good. Any ideas ?

    R3R mountig of the rear brake disc

    Hi guys, check the mounting of the rear brake disc. There is a material problem with some brake discs. There is a play in the direction of rotation of the brake disc.

    Rear Brake - How's it meant to feel?

    This has never been an issue to me, but so many threads on the rear brake. I come from sports bikes where the rear brakes are next to useless..... almost. Have had the R 3 for about 12 months now and they've never been an issue to me. Riding style perhaps from the past. What are your...

    NEED CLUTCH & BRAKE LEVERS & MOUNTS

    I have a 2014 R3T. I just converted it to a trike. The wife rides also. Problem is that the lever setup for the T is set to far out for her hands. She has to take her hand off the handle bars to get at the levers. I have tried every source. No adjustable levers for the "T"s. Lots for the...

    Brake reservoir leaking for a year??

    I flushed my brakes last June and and ever since the front reservoir has been leaking. I believe I overfilled it. Pretty sure it is coming from a little hole on the end- an overflow hole? Anyways, the level is near the low line now as the pic shows. I thought it would stop at the upper...

    The stock levers are to far out from the handlebar. My wife says she can not ride until we can get them in closer. I am 6ft 3 with big hands and find it is a reach for me also. Found out the hard way that the Roadster and touring models have much different levers. Can find for Roadster but...
