Hi Guys,
Pick up the beast on the Oz Weekend from Melbourne and get to clock some k's before heading home on the slow boat to Tassie. Plan is to drop into a few mates and the Island Classic races at Phillip Island on Saturady the 28th Jan. So if you see a bloke on a very shiney black R3 with a...
Anybody got any idea what I should/could ask? It is an 08' with almost 20k miles. It has new tires front and rear with less than 300 miles on them. An Avon on the front and a Darkside (altimax Hp) on the back.
It is set up for solo riding now but I have the original seat, sissy bar, and...
Does anyone know where I might be able to find a set of passenger floorboards other than going to the dealer or bike bandit? I've been looking at ebay and searching for motorcycle salvage yards with no luck so far. I bought my '08 R3T set up as a solo bike and the previous owner removed the...
Due to current budgetary concerns and a recent flat tire on my Rocket, I think I am going to be brave this time and try out a set of Bridgestone Exedra tires. Bridgestone makes the Exedra G701 in a 150/80HR-17 for $145.99 at Bridgestone Exedra G701 Front Tire - Cruiser Motorcycle - Motorcycle...
Help needed guys. I have never owned a British bike and have had great memories from riding Japanese bikes from the UK across Europe. I moved to Canada in 94 n had kids blah blah blah........ but now have the itch to get back on 2 wheels and fallen in love with a 2005 R3. I was on a forum that...
Totaled my 2011 Road Glude Ultra last month now Waiting for my 08 R3 Roadster to arrive.
Have had 6 harleys now trying a Triumph. Really not a fan of the V twin engine. Like the concept of the three, watetr cooling and shaft drive.
Cheers
These are not from me, but if they are Triumph's Comfort shocks someone could get a deal. Just posting incase anyone is interested. I have a set on mine and they are the best shocks I've had.

NewR3 website shows the easy start headlight control module. This I would think would stop the extra voltage going through the start button. Anyone here have one installed? I know there is a relay setup with inline fuse to keep the start button from burning out and I am wondering if this also...
I have had my R3T for two seasons. Its a unique bike. I came to it in recent years from sport touring/adventure type bikes (ST1100, V-Strom 1000, Moto Guzzi Norge, K1200Rsport, R1200GS, FJR 1300 to name a few). I am surprised how well I like it. I look forward to participating in the forum.
As you can imagine, my R3 engine uses much stronger valve springs. One of the things I'm concerned about is the stock cam chain. IMO better to source a stronger chain than replace the cam chain for every race. Precision cam chains which are heat treated, hard coated and 30% stronger can be...
Hi all,
Does anybody know of a decent flyscreen for the R3 Touring? Preferably quick-release so I can switch back and forth between my touring screen and the flyscreen when I want to.
I know there's an OEM flyscreen but it looks to be more decoration than actual wind-deflecting function so...
Well, I had another one come off today. :mad:
Out for a little ride and on the last 10 miles from home, I coming up through the reservation. On a nice two lane road had a little car tailing me as we passed slower moving traffic. Finally decided to put some room between myself and the little...
Hello all, I just picked up a beautiful 2006 R3 classic with only 956 miles about a month ago. I also own a 2000 Sprint RS, 2002 Daytona, and 2003 Tiger. I hope to find useful information here for my R3. I am satisfied with the power, I am getting used to the non-sport riding position, but I am...
Does anyone know if the Roadster silencers/cross-over pipes would bolt up to the R3 or R3C downpipes without mods please?
Not that I would want to fit cat containing silences but if some aftermarket stuff comes up for the Roadster and it would fit my R3C it would be handy to know.
Thanks
For those with an R3T, how much free play do you have in your top yoke? If you grab the bar ends and lift, how much movement do you get?
I've read that the top yoke can fail, resulting in excess play. I have about 1/2 inch movement measured at the bar ends. Also, for those that can check, do...
