    Engine management light

    This weekend my battery died, replaced with new unit but now when the bike is started - the management light stays on when running. I have not ventured out yet and wondered if this was usual. There were no issues pre battery change. Any advice appreciated..

    Rocket III Engine Swap

    Figured having gone to the trouble of swapping engines, i might as well post up a thread about it with a few pics,, someone might enjoy it :) The manual has a section on engine removal and replace, so no need for any additional guidelines, maybe just a few tips here & there.

    Engine guards and windshield

    Hello all, Going to purchase engine guards for my 2012 Roadster and needing to know do they bolt right up to the bike with no issues. Also, are there any windshield options more cost effective than Triumph that gives good protection and is not huge either. Thanks in advance.

    Haunted check engine light

    Check engine light comes on and goes off without rhyme or reason. Sometimes it will stay on for days, sometimes it randomly flashes off and on while riding, and sometimes it clears itself to come back a few days later. This has been happening for a month and I've attempted checking for error...

    Rivco Engine Gaurds

    These have been sitting in my shed for quite a few years , quality is far superior than the modern day flea bay ones, they are as rare as hens teeth as Rivco stopped selling them quite a few years ago. I know when Fred spots them he will be getting a wee chubby:D

    Will an engine guard from a 2007 and up fit my 2006 R3 Classic

    My left engine guard looks like it broke at one time and was welded, the weld is cracking. There's one available that I'll buy if it fits.
