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)...
Hi, :)
I am new to R3 and I have just bought a 2008 R3T. I have owned a number of rides since 1978 and my last was a Kawasaki 600 Ninja. I was all set to buy a Goldwing…something I had fantasized about for the past 30 years and the Goldwing “Deals Gap” video :eek:(Google it) made me crazy to...
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?

Hello I'm new to the site, Just bought a 2008 Rocket 3 with 1800 miles on it out here in Alburquerque about a month ago. It is an amazing bike, never seen anything like it and i'm very happy to know i'm one of a select few if any who owns this bike here in NM. Currently trying to become a...

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...
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...
new to this website new to this technology,( whats a thread anyway? When I was a much younger man I would thread the needle on my surf board, but anyway thats another story ) Now I'm an old man on a new 2012 rocket iii tourer classic with 4000 miles on it that I've put on it in about 2 mos. I...
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...
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...
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...
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...
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
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...
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...
