    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...

    Changing the clutch, anything else now I'm there?

    Hi all. About to change the clutch, and thinking now that I'm in there, is there anything else I should change while I'm at it? 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...

  8. 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. I found one on CL near me with 20k miles on all original parts but last owner reports trans failure. Somewhere between 4th and 5th he...

    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...

    Clutch Cable Help

    Got an 2006 R3 and the clutch doesn't want to fully disengage when at a stop. It will clank around until I'm at a stop and sometimes it will want to keep going and I'll have to keep the brakes engaged, sometimes it's like it should be. I noticed both the handle adjuster and lower adjuster are...

    Clutch Advice Needed

    Just wanted a few opinions, I've got a new clutch and springs set to fit over the winter, is it worth changing the detent spring or anything else while i'm in there. No signs of trouble other than some clutch slip reported when I had a tune on a dyno earlier in this year, so what do you guys think?

    hey guys, i've already set the clutch adjustment dial to 4 but i'd like to have the clutch handle release even closer to the handlebar than it is with the dial on 4. with arthritis in my fingers a closer release to the handlebars would make it easier. i only found in the user manual about...

    A Rocket in a Clutch...

    The weather in Michigan is beautiful this time of year. Sunday was a perfect day to ride to Lake Michigan. I must have rode about 10 miles from home and the clutch cable broke. Did I mention it was beautiful and a Sunday? My biker friends were off riding and having fun. Me, I'm waiting for...

    Clutch adjustment

    Do you guys notice a big difference in clutch cable free play when the engine is hot as opposed to cold ? I generally check the free play before every startup and am finding that the 3mm at the lever when cold becomes nearer 5 mm After a run ! When the engine has cooled , free play once again...
