Good evening all (well it is here).
I am seriously tempted in chopping in my Tiger 800 for a R3. The engine on the 800 is too revvy for my liking. I also have an original R1100GS which I enjoy as much as the Tiger, so I do think the Tigers days are numbered.
I have my eye on a couple of...
Hello everyone! After over 2 years of contemplation, temptation, and being cheap, I finally picked up a new to me 2012 R3R this past Friday. I got to put a little over 100 miles on her this weekend and what a bike. Big, powerful, and smooth, almost too smooth. I've already caught myself...
All first I would like to say thanks for all the helpful advice I received here. I was expecting to have to sell my bike instead of trading but my Indian dealer surprised me and allowed me to keep these parts to sell here-there aren't many.
I have the following:
Everything sold that was...
Hello Everyone,
I have very recently (today actually) bought a 2014 rocket 3 roadster. I have been an R3T guy for a while but crashed the bike and now replacing with the roadster. Being a touring guy though, I need to make sure I have enough of the creature comforts.
Looking for the following...
Hi everyone... quick background on my story.
A bit over a year ago, after a failed attempt to get Lasik (they were really scummy, slipping in a credit card application into the preliminary paperwork), I found myself with a bunch of cash I wasn't expecting to still have at the end of the week...

Well, I'm planning a little trip the first part of June with some fellow bikers and I have a question for you R3T owners. I haven't rode my bike in the rain (I don't care to either) but.....do the hard bags stay dry inside if you do a lot of riding in the rain? What is your experience with...

I'm selling my Rocket. $4,000 firm. It has 25,000 miles and is Cardial Red.
The previous owner apparently "forgot" to tell me it was starting to use oil. It starts, rides, and runs great, other than the occasional blue smoke. Checking the plugs it looks like #2 cylinder is the culprit. It has...
Anyone know anything about fitting some Ricor Intiminators onto a Rocket 3 Touring? Do the right size exist? Do they make a difference, if anyone has tried it? Tried emailing Ricor but didn't really get an answer. I know they make 43 mm variants which is the size of the R3T front shock. Sent...
Hi All,
Now that I have my 2011 R3R I would like some advice from you guys as to tuning etc.
My bike is fitted with Staintune Performance exhaust system (not sure of part number) see photo, this may help identify?
I have just email the previous owner to find out if the bike had been re-mapped...

Bought new R3T Melbourne December 2014 to add to 1994 Trident Sprint (180,000k's) and Ural with sidecar (10,000k's). Now have 10,000k's on the rocket. Currently in Darwin NT after crossing over Great Divide at Mt Hotham, across to Port Augusta via MILDURA, then down to Port Lincoln for a week...
This problem started last year. The last day I rode it I went and filled the gas tank for condensation reasons. On the way home I noticed it would hesitate briefly if I got on it hard. Figured maybe I got some crappy gas I didn't think to much more about it. Start riding it this year...
