    R3T Riser Remedy - Maybe

    I am working on an idea to remedy the movement in the risers on the R3T. My thought is to design a one piece aluminum stepped washer to replace the rubber washer and metal washer between the risers and the triple tree. By doing this it should make it more of a solid mount therefore alleviating...

    Confessions of a bad R3 owner.

    My Rocket has nearly 93000 miles and still runs like new. I have had almost no significant problems with it. But I certainly don’t deserve to have such a reliable problem free bike the way I treat it. Yes, I change the oils on schedule and clean the air filter, but that is about it. In theory...

  3. R3T running rough when not under load

    I have an 08 R3T. When it's under load all seems fine but when the load is off (e.g. cruising at low speed with more or less not load such as through a slow zone or rounding a bend) it runs rough - sort of surges or feels like its missing. I end up dragging the rear brake to create load...

    R3T on the Loneliest Highway in America

    This ride has been going through my mind for over a year now. San Diego to Highway 50 (ghost towns galore!) to Reno, and back down to San Diego. I’m doing it solo. Leaving this Saturday, November 17th and returning on the 19th. · 572 miles the first day, from San Diego to Ely, Nevada (via...

    Harley Fatbob headlights on a R3

    Hey all I know i know bloody harley parts and all that bla bla :rolleyes: But i have always had a liking for the look of the headlights on the Harley Fatbob and thought it would be a cool look to put them on the Rocket . I think the fatbob lights are actually 1 piece and only one eluminates on...

    German r3 site

    Just wondering if anyone here belongs to the German R3.Org site ? I'd like to purchase a t-shirt from their 2012 Treffen (whatever a Treffen is :o ) Sent an email to the fella that's supposed to be handling the merchandise. Obviously i don't sprekenzee Deutch (only know that from Hogans Heroes)...

    R3T fuel

    I have been burning premium (91-92 octane) in my R3T as recommended by my dealer. I have noticed R3 captains burning regular. Any R3T captains using regular? Not that I am cheap:-) but would this not adversely affect the machine?

    Which tachometer can be used with R3T?

    Has anyone tried any specific brand of tach? Most of the manufacturers can't tell me if theirs will work on a 3cyl. Does anyone know if the Rocket uses the "waste spark" ignition (which fires each time the piston is at TDC, once compression and once exhaust) or is it the traditional system which...

  16. 2003 Vulcan vs 2012 R3R

    Looking for opinions.. I sold a 2003 Vulcan 1500cc classic with the thought of buying a Vulcan 2000cc classic. I did some research and found that the Triumph Rocket 3 Roadster is a real bad ass. My question is about the Triumph handling vs the Kawasaki. I want to know about its handling at low...

    LIft points on the R3T?

    Looked at a great motorcycle lift today for $400.00. They guy demonstrated on a Harley and then a stratoliner both having frame bars at the bottom. He wanted to lift my bike with it but with no rails I wasn't comfortable using the bottom of the motor. Has anyone here used one of these lifts on...

    New Owner of '06 Blue R3

    Just got my tag today for this beast and took it to work. Nice and smooth, but quiet as a churchmouse. I will scan the site to see about makin it a little more throaty. How big is the reserve tank? I went 20 miles on it and could only put in 5 1/4 gallons, was expecting to put like at least...
