I was visiting my local NEW TRIUMPH Dealer here in Huntsville and there was a Triumph Service Rep there. In our conversation, I asked the big question that always comes up between the two versions of the Rocket. How is the R3T underpowered? He said it was all in the Cams. The Cams are set up...
The time has come to consider parting with my Baby I am riding very little these day due to poor health and am entertaining selling My bike.

Took delivery of the beast at 9am today and rode her to work. Knocked off early and went home to pick up the wife. Tested out the ABS to see how works on the way and I am highly impressed!! Our first 2-up ride started with 21 miles on the odometer. She fully aproves of the purchase now!

Has anyone had a this problem? Of course you never notice it unless both hands are off the bars. I know, "one should never take their hands off the bar" but, I also have the uneven tire wear. Any thoughts?
Hi,
I'm looking to avoid the Rivco Risers.
Wd. the Classic bars bolt up w/ not cable mods to a 2013 R3T?
I'm looking for maybe a little more reach back on the bars.
Looking at them, I think they reach back farther than my stock set.
Thanks, and sorry for the redundant question.
Anyone got a fix for noisy/chattering brake pads? I'm real sick of hearing it whenever I hit a bump in the road (from both the front and the rear).
I can make it stop by applying light pressure to the brake levers, but I will wear out the pads in no time! Too many bumpy roads around and not...
So i rode my new r3r to work this morning and the darn thing wouldn't shift into 4th gear, felt like it was hitting something. So i kept trying to shift and finally it went in, but it feels like i have to kind of pull up and out on the shifter to get it to go, same with 5th. I was wearing new...
Was wondering if Triumph is still doing the timing retard in 1-3rd gear? I keep seeing people talking about pulling the front tire off the ground in 2nd gear with very little effort. The bike has some serious pull, but mine has never even thought about lifting like that. I have gone WOT many...
My first 11,000 miles on the ’14 R3T have been great! No serious problems so far and it has only had a few minor matters to mention. Here is the run down:
1. TPS needed adjusting after a few miles of riding it. Dealer fixed on day two of owning it.
2. Break in oil change on day three.
3. Left...

Just purchased a 2014 R3 Tourer and wanted to add just a couple of items to this awesome bike. Trying to locate oem Triumph front fender tip and a good day long tourer seat with driver's backrest. Any suggestions?
Is it normal while sitting in neutral and you let the clutch out you feel a rattle in the handlebars and some chatter from the clutch/tranny area and pull it back in and it goes away?
Also I have noticed in 4th or 5th gear cruising light on the throttle I hear a whining whistle sound.
Hey lads;
I just noticed that my foot rest on the brake side wobbles back and forth yet the clutch lever side is stable.
Is this normal or should it also be stable on the brake side.
Cheers
So im thinking ahead for a winter project and I realize that I do miss having a stereo. I searched the threads here for fairings and have seen a few that might interest me. Corbin is definitely out. I have it narrowed down to the Tsukayu or the one from Wide Open. Wide open seems to have a...
Good Morning all from Mid-Michigan, USA.
I just recently purchased an '06 Triumph Rocket III with 6000 miles on it from Illinois and I gotta say, its unlike any bike I have ever rode.
Two years ago I was in an accident with my custom VTX 1800r and ended up totalling it out. So now I am back...
This whole not having a lifter for the bike is getting on my nerves, especially now that I realize I'll be polishing the alloy wheels on a regular basis since they corrode to hell and back otherwise. So, is there like a definitive best way to accomplish this, preferably without spending the...
Hey everyone, If I am correct, The side panel protectors for the R3T #A9738066 were discontinued quite awhile back, I'm sure I remember trying to order them and they were no longer available. Well about a month ago I saw them up on the triumph website. So I ordered them and had them shipped to...
