  1. New R3 owner and huge fan

    I bought my 2007 R3 standard about 3 months ago and can't get enough. I have put the Jardine Big Boss exhaust and had the 'engine upgrade kit' installed about a month ago (alleviated the first to second gear slip amoung other things). Since the upgrade the bike runs unbelievable. I have been...

    New R3 Owner

    I test rode a demo R3 in 2005 and it made a lasting impression. Four years later and I'm picking up my new bike at the end of the week. It's a new left over black 2007 R3 Std. I think I stole it for 10,098.00 out the door. This is a great forum with a lot of information. I'm buying the bike out...

    Link to R3T service manual?

    Does anyone know if there is a link to an online R3T service manual anywhere? Have found a few for the R3's but as almost everything is different on the Touring I'm assuming there's a separate manual for it? :confused:

    R3T Owners....need some help/advice.

    For all you R3T owners out there I would like to ask a few questions. As you know when I get done with my work overseas I am probably (90% sure) going to be going in for a new R3T. I would like to ask is there any accessory that you bought that you would probably not recommend getting that...

    When you can't ride the R3T

    Hey guys, I traded for this car yesterday and when you can't ride the bike it is an excellent substitute, it takes off like a rocket and with a few inexpensive mods I can get it to the mid 12's in the 1/4 mile. It drives great and has a kick ass factory stereo with 13 speakers and over 500...

    Colors - R3T - Need Some Observations

    Guys: I'm considering changing the bike I am buying from all black to the black/red combination. Can anyone tell me - is the red a bright red or a more muted red - closer to burgundy? In other words: Is it strawberry soda or cabernet sauvignon or something in between? The photo on the...

    ABS on a R3 anyone?

    Has anyone heard of modifying a R3 or Triumph with ABS? I started riding again three years ago and all went well until last summer when I locked-up the breaks on my Scrambler while avoiding a collision--growing the new skin was not fun. I read about the ABS systems for the Japanese bikes and...

    If it's Triumph, it's the R3T

    After giving the idea a lot of thought (not much else to do over here but to work and think, sleep and eat) I have decided...for now (which means I could change my mind but I doubt it) that if the new Gold Wing isn't "all that" that if/when I get the new Triumph it will be the the R3T. I...

    Is There A Listing, On This Or Other Forums, of All R3T Service Bulletins?

    I've pretty well decided to get an R3T, if I can find the one I want for a price I'm willing to pay. However, I'm probably going to be looking for an 08 leftover, so I'd like to see a listing of all SB's applicable to that bike, so that I can question the dealer as to whether they have all been...

    R3 Reverberations

    I was reading a thread on the .com site regarding reverberations a guy was experiencing and it got ne thinking that may be the harshness that I experience isn't the norm for these bikes; below is a question that I asked in that thread. "Quote. My bike (08 standard 2000 miles)has always done...

  12. Darkside suggestions for the R3T

    I have been thinking of going Darkside when my metzler wears out and was wondering if anyone knows the tire size needed. I figure the designation will be different for a car than it is for a bike. Anyone running a CT on an R3T? Some info would be helpful.

  13. R3T heated grips

    I was wondering if anyone else out there has had this issue or just me. I bought my 2008 R3T brand new in March 2008. I had the heated grips installed shortly after but after less than 5000 miles the throttle cable broke off the grip and I had to limp home at idle speed. Triumph replaced them...

  14. Best Northern IL R3 shop?

    Hey everybody, Wanted to get some opinions on which shop they like best for work on the R3, everything from dyno tuning to turbos. If you know of a shop or heard of a shop in the Northern IL or Southern WI area that does great R3 work and they really know their ****, please let me know...

  15. 2010 R3's all gained 100 lbs??

    I'm real fond of the new 2010 R3 Roadster, and was perusing Triumph's official site, checking out the specs. Well, I happened to notice that Triumph lists the wet weight of the 2009 R3 as 704 lbs. and the 2009 R3 Touring's wet weight is 788 lbs. THEN Truimph's official site lists the wet...

    R3T - new Russell Day Long seats

    I just got back from a ride on the new seats. A few things I've noticed so far..... 1. If you have the quick release sissy bar, it will be **** hard to put in on or take it off with this new seat. It's much wider than the stock / long haul. 2. The wings on the sides are a bit uncomfortable...

    Lowering the rear of the R3

    Has anybody changed out the rear shocks for shorter ones? If they have what tire are they running and what if any other issues you might have had ie.. tire rubbing, reduced ground cleareance for cornering. The Rocket has this big gap above the rear tire and was maybe looking to close it down...

    Top 3 CTs for the R3

    Well, it looks like I'll be joining your ranks shortly as a proud R3 owner. I'm coming off of two VTX 1800s, both of which I ran on the Darkside with B'stone Potenzas. I'm wondering what are the three most popular or common CTs you folks run on the Rocket? Also, what are the most...

  20. R3T Tach

    Sorry, I'm new. I've looked around the site for info on a tach for the R3T, but haven't found one, other than some micro-something. Does Triumph offer one? Can one be added like you can from HD for a Road King?
