Hi guys Par (Nussekudden) just broke the crankshaft (!!??!!) on his R3 with turbo So now he's looking for an replacement engine Anyone out there who knows where to find one? Insurance companies? Ebay? Others? Please give us tips on: nickehild@gmail.com

I just removed the secondaries and now my engine light came on, is this normal? At first it wouldn't start but smoothed out, now in the progress of 12 minute tune. Will the light go out?

Hello fellow rocketeers, just want to send a warning to all of the newbies like myself :confused:about removing the secondary butterflies. The information given on this subject (secondary removal) is 100 percent accurate. It will take you an hour for twenty minutes of work if you keep the stock...

Hi there, New R3 owner here! Just bought a 2007 Classic in blue/white with approx. 4,000 miles. I've owned pretty well every type of cruiser and sport bike, but this is my first Triumph. So far I'm pretty happy with the bike's performance, looks, handling, etc., but then again I've only had it...

i have been searching the forum for documentation of any of us that have had the output shaft bearing or the cam chain fail @ speed. read a couple stories of the camchain failing @ stoplights. not too exciting, although pretty f***ing inconvienient! i can only imagine what sort of life...

After changing my battery the engine fault light is on at the lower left of the speedometer cluster. What all does this light indicate?

Help Please - Rivco or Triumph OEM Crash Bars/Engine Guards? Hi folks - I just posted on classifieds looking for some Rivco engine guards - and HellFire suggested we start a thread so we can all benefit from some opinions... Anders .020 Over Join Date: Sep 2009 Location: St Petersburg...

Hey ya'll.... I just got done fighting and wrestling with my new Rivco engine guard bars and finally came out on top :D . I guess I'm the guy who always gets engine guards that don't "quite" line up correctly, even after dutifully following enclosed instructions. Ended up having to use a...

I first apologize if this info is available in a service manual but my used R3 did not come with one but I was just wondering as to the "normal" oil operating temps and do they vary with the type of oil being used. I am in Thailand and it is always hot here and the bike gets to be quite warm...

Does anyone else have an issue with the engine getting really hot, to the extend that even the frame and side panels get too hot to touch? Also, I can see the exhaust elbow right below me glow red in the dark! Any input anyone? Thx. Ruud

recently my bike has started missing when on the throttle! starts around 4500rpm, will miss then clearup then start again! anyone have any experience with this? 2008 standard rocket, cutout bearclaw, K&Ns, Jardine exhaust, Tuneboy!

Have just bought my R3 and have only done about 800kms (500miles) since new the engine has produced a soft clacking sound (sounds a bit like gear backlash) during acceleration up to 2000 rpms and then goes quiet from there on. My dealer has said that this is common to the R3, is he right or...

Anybody had any problems with a horrible noise coming from the timing chain tensioner area/ front of the engine??. My bike is an 05 with only 6000 miles on it. A little suprised that this machine can,t last more than this with out a major engine problem. I,ve already suffered a noisy leaking...

Which front engine dresser to install? Triumph or Rivco? R3C 2006 thanks

Any one know how to keep the warning light from coming on? dealer reset and cleared the error! it was for throttle postition sensor! He said this was from me taking out the secondary butterflies! and that I was on my own for this! any Ideas?

Hi guys, I just bought a used '08 R3 Touring. Being a big guy, I like to sit back in the seat, and had to add risers. All cables seemed fine except the clutch, which I re-routed behind the handlebar. Now after about a week, the 'check engine' light came on. I was sitting at a cash machine...

Has any one out there had Carpenter racing redo the engine on a Rocket yet? Or do you know how long they take on the drive in drive out deal?

I thought I was past this, however it appears I am not. Went for a ride today, bike seems more powerful. I am running 20050 dyno final map that Pig9r posted that has the 145 hp and 157 ftlbs torque. I have to o2 sensor checked off and and have covered my bases I believe. Is there anyway to...

Carpenter Race Engines has extensively ported and polished an R3 head, to the point where their NA R3 makes 235 RWHP 186 Ft Lb TQ with high comp 11.5/1 pistons and high lift cams. They are the only ones doing very high lift cams for the R3 because they have developed new valve springs, titanium...

Has anyone had coolant leaking from rear engine plug on right side about half way up on the engine? The plug is a 14mm allen drive and behind the small filler cover. Trying to find out torque settings for the plug- if I can even get a allen drive in there- small area Thanks g-smitty
