    Struggling to figure out the cause of misfires

    Hi everyone. My 2008 R3T is driving me nuts. She works perfectly on idle, but misfires start as soon as I open the throttle. Doesn't matter how wide the throttle is open, engine keeps stuttering, backfiring and all that. The setup is Ramair/TOR/Nels tune. I've thrown in new spark plugs, new...

    2009 Rocket 3 - 4th Gear Problem

    When I select 4th gear, it is as if does not go in all the way. It goes in, but the moment I release the clutch and apply power, teeth grind on each other. I realized than when I select 4th on a downhill, leave the clutch and apply almost no power, it will stay in gear. But the moment I apply...

    GT quickshifter clearance problem

    I think my dealer messed something up. I have a 2021 GT and the pegs are in the farthest forward position. Today I had the quickshifter installed and while it does work great they couldn't get it to work with the pegs in the forward position. They had to move them to the middle position...

    Not sure if this is a warning of a problem on the horizon...

    2005 with 65k miles I am experiencing a first gear issue. The bike doesn't easily go into 1st gear, I need to intentionally give a good jab on the shifter and it goes in no problem, even at start up. While rolling I will hear a slight chatter if I try to lightly put it in first. Any ideas??
  7. Hi! Im a new proud owner of a Rocket 3 GT 2021. I like the ride it give me, but already having a few problems... this is why Im here!

    1st: Sometimes, the bike won’t start because it can’t find the key. When running, I often have the message “Low battery” with a key under it. I already tried to change the battery... didn’t change anything. Sometime I get the message that tells me that the key is not in reach... First time I...

    2014 Rocket 3 Touring Floorboard problem to start with.

    I got it for $6000 with only 8,120 miles on it. Great bike but it is a heavy beast of a bike. But I do have a problem. I'm 6'2 long legs but when I put my feet down mainly on the left side my foot hits the floor board sometimes and I'm worried that I will drop this beast of a motorcycle. I just...

    Hey friends. I know its been a long time. This issue has been going on for years and I'm fed up. Sometimes when I try to start my bike the starter just clicks.

    Non return valve and oil drain down problem

    Here is something I don,t understand. I have the bottom sump off of my 2014 rocket with the non return valve removed and I have put oil in the tank, but the oil is not running out of the drilling that the non return valve fits into. I thought it would run straight out immediately. The oil tank...

    My first experience with the high idle problem and TuneECU...

    I have a mostly stock 2006 R3. The only significant change is the CAT box removed with tune flashed at dealer. The bike has been very under-used since 2013, mostly just for 2-Up with my wife. The last time riding was last fall and it began to show the dreaded high idle symptoms. The bike starts...

    Ignition switch problem?

    Just got an 05 Rocket and it starts and runs great. The problem is the lights will go off suddenly. Headlights and tail light both out. If I get under the tank and wiggle around the wires near the ignition switch which was relocated to the left panel, I can get them back on. Can the switch shut...
