Hi, I know it's not a Rocket subject but has anyone had experience of the new Harley Milwaukee Eight engine which was introduced last year fitted in new Harley motorcycles? Have they fixed the failures they had with the engines when first introduced? I have just put down a deposit on a new Road...

After two bad R3 owner experiences, I still have the carcass of my 2007 R3. I have just purchased a 2015 Rocket3X motor, with 12,700 Kms on it. My question is will it fit straight into my existing 2007 frame, is there any difference in power, what was the significance of the R3X as I have been...

Over the last few months @Paul Bryant s bike has developed an odd idling issue we have been trying to resolve and its now time to ask everyone. On load it also feels "heavy" The obvious has been tried, TPS ISCV rest and correct, MAP lines all good, new plugs, cleaned air filters, throttles are...

I was looking up a part and came across this old R3 post I saved.

I'm finding a few issues with an engine swap. I will post these issues here as a resource for anyone considering the same thing. I encourage ALL to add to this thread.

My starting engine seems to be dead. I checked the fuses, there allright. Sidestand doesn´t seem the problem. Battery´s in good shape. Anyone idea´s about what´s causing this failure.... My rocket is a customized touring ´2011 with 16000 miles.

I'm a but confused... it is my undesrtanding that mid 2007 and up the motor color went from silver to black...right? Also 05-07 had some tranny issues(siver engine too)...since im in the market for a r3 i found a 2006(in blue) but with a black color engine...so how can that be?

What diameter is the engine breather tube spigot?Cheers

I am looking for an alternative mounting location for a Denali Soundbomb Compact Air Horn. The horn is currently mounted where the old horn was and there is not enough room between the bottom of the horn and the top of the front fender - ask me how I know!! Before I go and remove any bolts I...

I I ride this bike hard it has the Torq exhaust mufflers and the tune to go with it. In the past 1000 miles or so I notice that the motor will drop all cylinders randomly and so far for a moment then some times a loud backfire, some times not and it will return to normal for the remainder of my...

They can be a little chewed up, gonna paint them anyways. Thanks. Chris

The reason I ask this is when I bought My R3T it had 15-40 oil in it. Changed to 20-50 weight oil and found it to shift better and a little less noisy. So I was just wondering if anyone is running 20-60 weight oil. Synthetic oil of course. I was thinking that maybe the guys that live in the...

I got these and never even took them out of the package. $50 shipped inside the US.

hello all, just bought my bike a couple weeks ago. loving every minute of seat time but have noticed what I believe to a an engine knock when decelerating in gear. pull in the clutch, sound is gone. oil level is good. I have a lot of experience with car engines and a sound like that...

Sorry if the answer is already somewhere in here, I couldn't find any thread about camshaft removal. Had the camshafts out, putting it all back together then the shop manual calls for a Triumph tool to keep the cams in place before fitting the timing chain. Is there a way to do this without...

I'm noticing a consistent stutter in the motor when I accelerate starting around 3200 rpms. Seems like i feel it when I do a light acceleration vs hard acceleration. It feels like a misfire or something similar. Anyone have any experience with this?

Hi. I get already for some weeks(.) the next issue : just cruising at nearly idle speed (about 5% throttle) bike is running fine. However, just pulling the throttle from 5 at 10% and the rpm's are inclining at about 1800rpm , the bike suddenly is like 'switching off' and rpm's are declining...
