Hello all, new 2008 Rocket III owner. Drove it to the DMV all good. 5 miles. Return trip, power loss.
Could only make it back by "winding it out" and pinching the clutch. Now she won't run unless it is being over revved.
bought this from another owner, it had some old gas which has been...
Bought this bike about 3.5 months ago, was fully submerged in a cyclone here in NZ. Every nook & crany had mud in it 😳
Fully stripped a rebuilt.
Lots more learnt along the way.
Enjoyed doing it & now enjoy riding it 😎✌️🚀🚀🚀
I was considering this swap, primarily for the offset axle which provides extra trail for a given fork angle. Posting for anyone who might search for it in the future.
As it turns out this is a non-starter, for an odd reason. Online, you'll find a 27.9 degree steering angle often repeated...
I can't help but notice quite a bit more vibration when going gently up through the gears on my R3 GT, especially in 2nd gear close to 2000 - 2500 rpm (but fine above this). My old 2004 Classic was silky smooth right down to tickover speeds (when poodling through traffic etc) and accelerated...

Anyone with a 2020 or newer Rocket 3 changed their brakes yet?
I'm coming up on 40,000km (25,000miles) and with another long trip in a few weeks I'm just curious what others are seeing with respect to their brakes?
I truly get that it depends on the rider, the riding style, the roads, the...
I have a nephew who is a bona fide salt of earth fella. He picked this '14 R3 up for a song and I promised I'd get it cleaned up if he'd get it over to me.
The paint was in pretty bad shape, but I was able to remove about 99% of the marring and swirling.

I have an 05 r3 bought for $3k with 1500 miles. Obviously it has set up for awhile. I have an issue with low rpms and initial throttle pulls from idle. The bike starts and runs with minimal issues and has plenty of power. Dyno says 138 hp so no loss there. When started rpms dance around 400 to...
Just received my new 2023 GT on 6/29/23 and have put about 200mi. on it. Having problems when up shifting into 3-6 gears. Sometimes I have to pull up on lever 3 times before it engages yet other times in goes right in. Getting a sore foot with this problem. It maybe as simple as adjusting the...
hello everyone!
I am getting painful wrists after riding for only 20 minutes. I read throughout this forum and I have seen quite a few folks complaining about the same thing. Rise and width are good, it's the angle at which the OEM handlebar is pushing my wrists that's just not working for me...

Hello Fellow R3 Devotees. I am brand new to the forum. I recently acquired a 2020 Rocket 3 TFC as a collector piece and occasional ride. I already have a few questions about it and am looking forward to expanding my knowledge with the help of others. Carl
Has anybody had trouble with the LCD display not staying and keek dropping no matter how much you tighten it up? If so how were they able to get it to stay put?
Looking forward to learning more about the R3 and what accessories are worth considering from the group. Under a 100 miles on it so far but love how it handles!
Hey guys,
I recently sprung an oil leak on my 08 Rocket III Touring that has me scratching my head. Was hoping some else might have ran into this before. It doesn't leak at all in short runs 15 mins, no matter how hard i ride it. It seems to only start leaking in longer runs. 30 mins or so. It's...
