    2007 R3 standard tachometer needle sticking

    I’m out in the garage and winterizing the bike. Turned the ignition on and off and noticed the tach needle stuck at 2k RPM. Cycled the key on and off several times and the needle advanced, then stuck higher and higher. This is with the engine off. The bike starts up and idles fine but tach...

    R3 Touring model differences over the years?

    Hi friends, I've decided I want to buy a Rocket 3 Touring. I just LOVE this look! (the model in the pic is a 2016 I think) They don't make them new anymore so Im going to buy it used when I find one I like. However, it looks like the Touring models go as far back as 2005 to as recent as 2017...

    Corbin side cases / panniers for R3

    After tearing up two zippered bags from Triumph, had to do some thing different. I have two rockets, a 2020 R3 and a 2022 R3GT. (The GT is primarily for my fiancé.) Didn't like the expense of the Corbin option, but went with it for the GT. I have read a lot of posts that the triumph bags are...

  6. Hello! New to the group. I have had a 2008 R3 for the past 10 years and I love to ride it.

    My issue is that the protrusions on the engine block that hold the kickstand broke on me. (I had the kickstand down when I was trailering it) Any suggestions or fixes for this? There is not enough threads left on the block to use. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks

    R3 GT Windscreen Combo

    Madstad brackets with GP Compozit windscreen. Adjusts pretty far on the fly. Up and out for touring, in and down for around town. The two extremes are shown in the pics but you can put it just about anywhere in between. Taking it out for the first drive later but feels really solid.

    Filtering on a R3 R - is it too wide?

    I’ve had my Rocket 3 R for a number of months now but still can’t bring myself to filter (lane splitting to you Americans) between lines of traffic. I just have the feeling the bars are a bit too wide and I’ll end up bashing a load of wing mirrors. Anybody else feel like this or am I being...

    Corbin seat vs oem r3 gt break in

    Well, it has been 4k miles so far, I don't think this oem seat it's going to be any different with more riding time to break in. I had a Corbin before in a different motorcycle (warrior) and it was stiff, but better because I can ride the whole day without feeling anything. For the ones...

    Sensors on New R3

    There are 2 sensors. Does anyone know the relationship between them, are they dependent on each other, when starting manually with fob or key held on rear sensor, is front sensor involved? When using keyless starting (fob)is rear sensor involved? Want info before dealer working on it.
