    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...

  4. 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...

    Better tune for R3T?

    I am running Jardines, triple 2780 K&Ns, and Tuneecu 20368. I get tons of popping and backfiring on decel, but that was the only tune I found for a Touring with aftermarket pipes on the Tuneecu site. It runs much stronger, but I am concerned it might be overly lean. I am planning on doing a...

  10. Is these a custom r3 rim maker

    I have been thinking of ways to make my r3 more tour/road trip friendly. Tires alway come to being a issue with our off rim sizes, and choices. Is there a company that custom makes rims for R3 that could get me into a 240/18 rim. Harley builders use 18 inch rim, there are many choices in tires...

    R3 vs. M109

    I watched a YouTube clip of these two drag racing. I was a bit surprised to see that the two were pretty close. I was also amused to see the Corbin bag lids on the Rocket deploy like aircraft flaps. Lol

    R3T Transmission Trouble

    My 2010 developed transmission trouble about two and a half weeks ago. It started out as difficulty finding neutral and kept getting worse until about two weeks ago when it started missing shifts, going into false neutrals and jumping out of gear into false neutrals. This happened either when...

  13. Dead R3

    Hi Folks, Looking for some help on a problem I have with my R3. I was returning from a week long ride at the weekend when I pulled in to a gas station to fill up. Everything was just fine until I went to restart, turned the key, nothing, no lights, no fuel pump, nothing. The battery appears to...

  14. Best Front Brakes for a 2007 R3 Classic

    Just a simple question! What do you guys recommend for break pads for the front of the R3? Should I stick with the more expensive Triumph Replacements or should I try EBC or another brand?

  15. Maiden R3 Voyage- Check Your Six

    I bought my first R3 (a well cared for '05) yesterday and decided that an early Sunday morning ride to meet a few friends for breakfast out in the country might be a good first real ride with the new (to me) steed. It almost ended up being my last ride of any sort. The restaurant sits on a...

  16. R3 rig owner in SE Ohio

    Greetings! I am the new owner of a 2005 R3 with a Champion Escort sidecar. I'll pick it up in a couple weeks, but wanted to stop by and say hello! Chuck

  17. One week away from being an R3 owner

    I pulled the trigger today on an '05 that a fellow Two Wheel Texan forum member had up for sale here- 2005 Triumph Rocket III from 6900 to $5500 - TWT Forums. It will take its place next Saturday in the stable next to my current ride, an '02 Yamaha FZ-1 that I plan on keeping for when I want to...

    R3T and PCV

    I researched the hell out of this on this forum prior to doing it. Everything I found indicated a PCV/AT would work on a 2008 R3T. Now I just read a post from Hanso saying it might not. Mine has been installed now for several months and running fine. It really stunk (exhaust gas) with the...
