Hi all,
I have just had my engine rebuilt in my R3T and have about 150 miles on it (just haven't been able to get out since I brought it home two weeks ago). I am reading in other places about not taking it easy while breaking in a new engine but rather throttle it hard to make the rings seat...
I was visiting my local NEW TRIUMPH Dealer here in Huntsville and there was a Triumph Service Rep there. In our conversation, I asked the big question that always comes up between the two versions of the Rocket. How is the R3T underpowered? He said it was all in the Cams. The Cams are set up...
Dear friends,we do not have too many rockets in Poland so please forgive me if you find that my question is rather strange.This year I bought brand new rocket.the engine, when its cold, sounds nice but after it warms up, especially when I reduce engine speed, I hear a sound like birds tweeting...
Because of job loss I am going to sell the Rocket and I am looking to get $13K.
The details are:
2007 Rocket III, 5700 miles, 1000mi since Carpenter engine work, runs and looks excellent, no scratches
Carpenter Racing 240hp package, dyno'd at 243hp, ($6.2K)
Carpenter Racing Brute Exhaust Pipe...
Sorry for the second post about the bike I checked out today, but something else came to mind.
At idle, there's a slight ticking noise. The guy was nice enough to let me ride it and I didn't notice it then, only at idle. The bike has less than 6500 miles on it so I don't "think" it's an issue...
Friends, the engine went off twice on the fourth gear wen negotiating a curve and pulling the clutch?? Is it an issue?? happened twice 20 miles apart.Downshifted and started it started again, power to panel is ok?? FYi iam breaking in still with 550miles on the bike.
Any suggestions?
My son came over this morning to help pull the engine. I put some 6x6 blocks under it then used some 1x4s & 2x4s for shoring. I have a chain fall in the shop and the air MC lift. Lowered the stand used the chain fall to shake a bit. Engine came out just like it was suppose to. Then we slid on...
Hello,
I've got an '05 Rocket III that just started developing a problem. At about 3000 rpm the engine starts to cut out and stutter. Almost as if it isn't getting gas. There also seems to be a "whirring" sound from the top of the motor or somewhere underneath the chrome cover right below the...
Hey,
So, I'm looking at the exploded view for cooling system on the R3 because I have a very slow coolant leak at my pump, and I know what parts I need, but the way the engine numbers are referenced on the list are strange.
My Engine number (stamped on the engine) is 3382685. The last 6...

The other day I moved the bike out of the shed and started it. It ran fine.

The engine...
I just received the front engine guard bars and I noticed that to install them the upper bolt needs to be removed. This is the bolt that supports the engine to the frame. Has anyone who may have installed these bars had any issues with the motor coming out of alignment when removing the top bolt...
I have this light on all the time it came on when I started the engine to warmup the oil in the garage checked the manual among other thing the light means the electronic system prevent further damage by providing "limping" mode for a while
I also found my throttle would only rotate 1/8...

I just ordered one of these in dark grey for the Storm. Spoke with the owner and they will fit the Rocket III but they supply larger clamps for the forks and the dimensions for the headlights is slightly different but they have measured for that and adjust accordingly...

would like to buy a swingarm, rear wheel, hub, drive shaft, axle, ECU + harness, throttle body with injectors, and everything i need to make the motor run and be able to move under it's own power (aside from a frame...
