Life got rough on us while in Jackson Hole Wyoming and a Toyota truck turned dead in front of us, I veered right, we clipped to rt fender and bumper, did not go down.
Anyway, banged up the engine and cleaned off the left side of the bike, I need an engine, I found a '14 tour with 17k for a...
Haven’t opened the manual yet, so if a decision tree is in there forgive me, wanted group input anyway.
Last ride no issues, set a week, started it and saw orange engine light and shut off.
So, my thoughts
Check engine oil and radiator fluid levels.
Assuming there is an error code, is there...
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
So I noticed a ticking noise on my Rocket when cold especially when accelerating. The noise was coming from the engine right hand side and disappeared after a couple of blocks. It sounded exactly like the noisy valve train on my Bonneville America before I adjusted the valves which were too...

Just curious to know if it lives up to its claim of improved performance.
I had my 20k miles service a few weeks before departure last week and the bike was running great for a trip out west. So all was good when I left Nashville but started sort of hesitating and sputtering. It accelerates ok, but holding any speed below 75 or 80mph. It sputters. This mostly...
I can hear it engage, but it won't turn it over.
You can hear the struggle
Have to be careful because the starter and pos battery cable will get hot quick
Battery has 12 volts
Added jump pack
Added jumper cables from truck
Removed battery and just used jump pack
Put bike in gear trying to rock...
I got a 2014 rocket 3 600 miles the other day. I changed the coolant and flushed with distilled water once, and some coolant as well on the second flush.
I drained the coolant at the water pump hose, took the bleed screw out and filled with coolant until it poured out bleed screw. I then...
Guys, I did my first oil change and chose the Mobil I 15w50. Well . . . I did a hundred miles today and noticed a difference, a difference in the NEGATIVE. It indeed seemed a bit sluggish and once the engine even CUT OFF with the oil light coming on. I think I am going to switch to rotella...
Hi all - I bought the bike about 3 or 4 weeks ago but haven't had much of a chance to use is as the weather has been so awful when I've had the chance.....
Today I took the bike out for a spin but as I was slowing down approaching traffic lights, as I've been used to, I blipped the throttle...
My dealer has a set of crash bars they say the part number is A9758099
can anyone tell me if these are the "good ones" or if these are the "bad ones" that i have seen on the forums from triumph? I have seen that the mounting bracket on some of the old ones were really weak and later on they...
Ok so following on from here, Mrs R-III-R Turbo took me on a "reconnaissance" mission to the Triumph factory in Hinckley UK yesterday for St Patrick's Day.
I had prepared to film the whole 1.5 hour tour in 4K @ 60fps on a GoPro for you guys but they wouldn't allow cameras inside the factory...
My 05 Rocket did not run clean after 240,000 km. The engine no longer cleanly picked up gas in the upper engine speed range, cylinders 2 and 3 had a lower compression than the 1st cylinder.
So I had the engine removed and disassembled. Although the
fault was with the defective cylinder head...
