Hello all.
I'm Vince. Got a new R3 last week.
I have a 69 Tiger 650 (bought in 1971) and a new 2013 R3. With luck, selling my Honda Shadow today.

I'm on the market for another bike next year and the Rocket 3 Roadster is among my top contenders. I'm hoping to learn more about the bike before I can take it for a ride next spring and make my final choice. Regardless of whether or not it's my next purchase, it's a bike I love and would love...
Well guys I am just about due to change the rear tyre on the beast (2012 R3R) after approx 9000km (still have the OEM Metz on). While I have had no probs with them what are other members finding as to best tyre for wear and grip (love to hear from any other South Australian members as you guys...
:confused::cool:Has any body had any problems with their neutral switch meaning you put the bike in neut light comes on then it goes off then you put the side stand down motor stop's and does it often enough that the engine management warning light comes on. Or every thing work's as it should...
My power outlet on the left side behind engine stopped working after I tried to put a battery tender on it. I checked the fuse box under the seat and all were good. Can anyone help me on this?
I need more legroom (already have highway pegs) and wonder if there is an easy way to lower the floorboards an inch or a set of replacement floorboards that will give me more room. Thanks.
Well guy's I am wondering how easy it is to remove and install the air filters on the R3R. While we're on the subject of air filters, can K&N filters fit under the chrome cover, or do they have to be exposed like I've seen on some Rockets??? I do most of the mechanics on my bike that I have now...
Hello - I recently bought my first R3T - awesome bike. I have noticed a fair bit of vibration when I accelerate either quickly or slowly (how do you accelerate slowly on a Rocket?) I know this has been discussed before but it was unclear to me if this is a constant vibration or only happens at...

Just got a new R3R and immediately realized I needed a windshield cause it felt like it was trying to peel me off each time I went into rocket mode...LOL
Looked at the OEM Windshield and $500. I asked if that came with some lube. The parts guy said sadly, no.
Interesting that several non...
I have a 2013 R3T (USA Model, advertised as having ABS) with 7K miles on it, and on two occasions when I've needed to emergency brake, the rear wheel locked up.
Also, I haven't ever felt the ABS pulsing when I engage the brakes (front and/or rear).
I haven't gone to the dealer yet since I'm...
Hello Gentleman,
Just joined this site and am wondering if I should be a little concerned. I purchased this new Rocket Roadster a few weeks ago, and was enjoying a nice evening ride when I noticed a nice red/orange glow from exhaust manifold. No mods as of yet and am wondering if factoring...
Hey guy's just a question in regards to the TOR's. When I finally get to buy my Rocket, I wish to have the TOR'S placed on at the dealers. First of all does this system need a Power Commander added:confused:. Secondly do I need a new tune , and can the dealer do this:confused:. This subject has...
Hi All:
I now have over 4000 miles on my R3R and thought I'd update my original http://www.r3owners.net/rocket-iii-roadster/15851-2013-r3-roadster-review.html . It's a long post so thought I'd just create new thread.
- My original comments on the shocks were too negative. With only 400...
I've got a 2013 R3 Roadster with about 4k miles on it now, and it is mostly stock except for cosmetic and comfort upgrades. I am looking to upgrade the exhaust, put the K&N air filter on it, and put a power commander on it and get it tuned up at the shop.
In my online searching for exhaust...
Hi,
I have a 2011 R3 Roadster. The aftermarket TORs exhaust should be arriving today, and I'll have it installed by this evening. I won't be doing anything to the catbox, etc. Any recommended tunes?
The last six digits of my VIN are 473885. Would you recommend 20355?
THANKS :)
Hi I am cbr3fl. I have an 06 R3 classic. My only interest is riding my bike otherwise i'm working which isn't that much fun 55y.o. It's a nice bike but sounds like a garbage disposal when in gear.This is a clutch problem need some ideas.
It's important you know that owning a R3R is going to ruin you for any other bike, and very likely going to blow a hole in your diary on every day the sun is shining
Please also allow plenty of talk time for when you are in a petrol station or stood near the bike... People want to know if you...
