Can anybody recommend a good touch up paint for a black R3 engine. I only seem to find paint that is high temperature and not petrol proof or petrol proof paint that isn't heat proof.
I just want to repaint a patch on the timing chain cover where the paint has bubbled up due to corrosion...
Can anybody tell me if I can get access to the oil pressure relief valve by only removing the bottom sump plate with the engine in the frame. It's a 2014 2.3 Rocket.
Thanks for any advice.
Just wondering if anyone has indeed done this?
I have a rocket with a silver engine - Should be black and the silver paint is peeling in places - Yes silver engines are painted silver.
I am not concerned if your preference is silver or black - I just want to know if anyone has had success and...
I was doing general maintenance when I replaced the shroud over the air cleaner. The screw caught a wire sitting just to the front of the opening and I saw a spark. Immediately pulled wire open (four wires in bundle) finding damage to the red wire. Fixed the wire, checked others and bike...
Have 07 with the silver engine. Trying to clean around exhaust. Have tried WD40 and degreaser but won’t touch it. Any suggestions? Haven’t tried brake cleaner yet. Have a lot of spare time these days so detailing all the nooks and crannies. Thanks
This is my 2nd Rocket 3 and if the bike stands for a couple of weeks the engine oil level drops below the baffle plate in the oil tank.
My other rocket done the same so I am assuming this is normal On that bike the oil level dropped out of sight after standing for 3 weeks so as both bikes do it...
Hi,
each bolt iss oxidized so I want opt for stainless steel.. I would unscrew one for know both depth/screw pitch.. my doubt is if gasket comes loose or leak/yields, so be forced to disassemble lower crankcase too.. could I avoid these risks if I unscrew an oxidized bolt at a time, so for...

Please someone nearby head down and take lots of photos for us!!
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..
Hello everybody my name is Pippo, I type from Italy and this is my first post. I can't start engine when my rocket III is hot. I can start it only when cold. Who can help me? Thanks in advance
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.
Battery was too low to start the bike, used a jumper box and now check engine light is on, it does not seem to cause any trouble but light is there, what cold have caused it,?:unsure:
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.
This morning my 2015 Rocket 3 Touring wouldn't start, the battery was real low, I haven't started the bike for 5 or 6 weeks. It was cold out this morning but later when it was warmer it started it. I rode it about two miles and the check engine light came on. I am trickle charging the battery...

I WILL TAKE ANOTHER SHOULD YOU LIKE TO SELL.
Looking for Engine Up-Date Kit. Either part number works. T1000009 or T1000008.

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...
I replaced my badly flexing left side with a 2008 ebay special engine guard and now it's rock solid, I need a right side engine guard preferable not from a 2006 they seem to be poorly made.
What 'ya got??
I was looking on Marketplace for Rockets for sale. Found a couple of Rocket 3 Touring bikes. What caught my eye was a trashed Rocket. After checking it out and talking with the guy who listed it, I've been thinking about buying the trashed Rocket.
Engine is fine, no damage. Triple...
