    Clutch Cable Length Pictures...Rivco

    Hi all....Someone wanted to see pictures showing the difference between a 1 1/2" longer clutch cable and a 2 1/2" longer clutch cable when swapping out for the Rivco Risers. I just changed mine out using the 2 1/2 ". I suppose 2" might be a compromise. I prefer a little smoother arc...

    Rocket Clutch Cable Install

    This is done so seldom one usually forgets how and has to reinvent the wheel. After several bar changes, I have bit the bullet and changed out my bars to a set that required lengthening all my wiring and the control cables. This long-ass adventure has involved many iterations of routing...

    Anybody had this happen.

    Got up this morning to my 05 R3 to work. Noticed the bike seemed to hesitate the backwards roll I have to do to get down my driveway to get to the street. Bike shifted it usual clunky shifts to work. When I went to park could not get the bike to shift to neutral. Shut the bike off, pop right...

    Clutch adjustment

    I am hoping for some help and advice. I happened to notice that clutch actuator arm (I have no idea what else to call it) is not lined up as it is suppose to be. I have included a pic, I kinda stole off another posting (I hope I didn't break any rules doing that). The mark on the spline does not...

Bin reading a lot about a detent spring, is it only if it's broken, or are the new ones upgraded in som way? Also a wheel, should be upgraded with a bearing, mine has...

    Clutch is Heavy/Straining...

    Hey, I've been riding my new Rocket 3 Roadster after getting used to my previous V Star 950. I love the Rocket so much, that I do get use to the clutch, but wondering why it feels heavy; I have to really pull it in with effort. On the V Star 950 it was a beautiful breeze. Is this common with...

    Jumping second to Neutral at max rpm

    Hi guys R3r 2012 owned since 2017, with TORS and a remap. I've trolled all over for various clues, but most concerns are false neutrals or dropping out of random gears. My issue is when I crank her open at 6.5k rpm in second it jumps into Neutral. No other gear, no false neutrals, and it only...

    Clutch basket

    I am having trouble removing the clutch basket from an 09 R3 touring. How do you keep the basket from turning while turning the center nut? Is there anything else a first timer needs to know?

    Clutch question, please help.

    Okay, I have a 2007 R3 Classic w/22,000 miles. Yesterday the clutch started slipping real bad! I had previously thought that it barely slipped a time or two, but it was so faint that I wasn't even sure if it did slip. Now I can't even give it a medium twist of throttle without it slipping...
  15. 2007 Rocket Help T/S!

    Hello all! Today I found myself the new owner of a gorgeous Rocket III... With a catch of course. Money was tight but I've been eyeing this bike for some time.

    Clutch not disengaging.

    I correctly diagnosed a broken detent spring thanks to some knowledgeable people on this forum. (thanks warp 9.9) . I pulled the front cover off and found both pieces of the detent spring. I pulled the clutch apart and carefully laid everything down on newspaper exactly as it came apart...

    Clutch Modification

    I seem to recall reading somewhere that the old clutch actuation system may be upgraded with new parts. I understand there is some machining involved but this is OK. Tried searching but couldn't find. Something to to with the actuator rod and bearing? My bike is an 05 and they changed in 2008...

    Upgrading your clutch springs?? What NOT to buy... MTC

    Do NOT waste your money on these!! Yes, MTC may make the best fibers. Yes, their $500 billet basket (installed here) is virtually indestructible but their clutch springs are actually WEAKER than stock!! How do I know this you ask? After rebuilding my clutch with all MTC parts it still...
