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...
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?
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...
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!

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...
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...

Bought a set of TOR's for my '09 RIII Touring. Once recieved, realized there just regular pipes with the baffles bore out. Now have a set of '09 RIII Touring TOR's available. All you have to do is drill out the baffles. Any takers?
One thing I noticed with my Rocket....Man is the motor warm! It feels like it wants to melt my right leg.
Is anyone else having this problem, has anyone solved to problem without putting asbestos chaps on?
My heat shields are glowing and I don't know what to do! It may be great in the winter...
I have a 2011 Rocket 111 and short legs. Standing on my tip toes at trffic signals is not fun.What do I need to lower the bike to stand flat footed. Being 77 doesn't help much. Any info woulds be most welcome. Thanks in advance. Larry:confused:
Hi, I am karan and currently on lookout for my first bike. I have driven the enfields for some years but was like 7 years back and now want to start riding again. I am enclined towards buying the R3 roadster.
When I went to one of the showrooms, the sales guy starting laughing when I told him...
Hello eyeryone. I'm the proud new owner of an 08 R3 Classic. I test drove a demo about two years ago, but wasn't in a position to buy one then. I found this used one locally with low milage that was in a like new condition with a good amount of factory accessories. I just ordered a new Corbin...
