  1. 2020 R3 vs 2022 R3

    I've managed to convince myself that my life will never be complete untill I own a Rocket 3 GT, so I've been comparing dealerships and prices. In my searching I've come a cross a dealership with an unridden 2020 GT in the colour I'm seeking for a significantly better price than this year's...
  2. 2011 R3 Touring

    Won't start. (Always has.) Key turned, in neutral, kill switch on, kick stand up, lights bright, system check, all good. Press the start switch....nothing. I tested the switch with multimeter and it functions perfectly when checking continuity. Thoughts? (Also, I am looking for an...
  3. 2014 R3 Roadster Multiple Mods

    I'm new to the group and have been following several subjects and need some information. Mine is basically stock, I had the dealer install the Triumph TOR pipes when I bought it (unsure if that was wise) and I'm ready to make some modifications. I just ordered a Ram Air system from England off...
  4. Considering purchasing a 2017 R3 Roadster

    Thanks for letting me in the group. I will devour all the great information before I put my money down on the counter! It only has 8K miles..I did notice a few other listings with the same amount of miles..Is this a warning sign? Stay safe.

  8. New R3 rider - since yesterday!

    Hello everyone! Just wanted to say hi. I'm a very recent R3 owner ( the bike, a black R3 GT, got delivered yesterday - just in time to park it for the winter) from Stockholm, Sweden. I most recently drove a Honda VTX 1800 from -03 that i had for about eight years, so it was about time to make a...

  10. 2007 R3 standard tachometer needle sticking

    I’m out in the garage and winterizing the bike. Turned the ignition on and off and noticed the tach needle stuck at 2k RPM. Cycled the key on and off several times and the needle advanced, then stuck higher and higher. This is with the engine off. The bike starts up and idles fine but tach...
  11. Correcting the clear coat on an R3

    I'm a detailer as a hobby and I'm really excited to get my hands on my nephews recently acquired 2013 R3 - touring. Typically when i dig in, I do some test spots to dial into a process that works. Anyone here have any tips or advice on working with the clear coat on a Triumph? May plan is to...
  12. R3 Touring model differences over the years?

    Hi friends, I've decided I want to buy a Rocket 3 Touring. I just LOVE this look! (the model in the pic is a 2016 I think) They don't make them new anymore so Im going to buy it used when I find one I like. However, it looks like the Touring models go as far back as 2005 to as recent as 2017...
  13. New R3 Sidecar Rig

    I finally got the call that the rig was done and ready to pick up. Flew down to Waco, TX and Kent from Texas Sidecars came and picked me up. A little road test, final payment on one my way back to Western Colorado.
  14. Corbin side cases / panniers for R3

    After tearing up two zippered bags from Triumph, had to do some thing different. I have two rockets, a 2020 R3 and a 2022 R3GT. (The GT is primarily for my fiancé.) Didn't like the expense of the Corbin option, but went with it for the GT. I have read a lot of posts that the triumph bags are...
  15. Hello! New to the group. I have had a 2008 R3 for the past 10 years and I love to ride it.

    My issue is that the protrusions on the engine block that hold the kickstand broke on me. (I had the kickstand down when I was trailering it) Any suggestions or fixes for this? There is not enough threads left on the block to use. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks
  16. R3 GT Windscreen Combo

    Madstad brackets with GP Compozit windscreen. Adjusts pretty far on the fly. Up and out for touring, in and down for around town. The two extremes are shown in the pics but you can put it just about anywhere in between. Taking it out for the first drive later but feels really solid.
  17. Filtering on a R3 R - is it too wide?

    I’ve had my Rocket 3 R for a number of months now but still can’t bring myself to filter (lane splitting to you Americans) between lines of traffic. I just have the feeling the bars are a bit too wide and I’ll end up bashing a load of wing mirrors. Anybody else feel like this or am I being...
  18. R3 2016 front brake resevouir leaking

    Hi all, I bought my R3 a few months ago and due to lockdown and rain I have not used it much. However, I seem to have a leak from the front brake res from the narrow end closer to the clocks. I tried fitting a new seal (rubber and plastic, but that does not seem to resolve the issue. Any ideas...
  19. Corbin seat vs oem r3 gt break in

    Well, it has been 4k miles so far, I don't think this oem seat it's going to be any different with more riding time to break in. I had a Corbin before in a different motorcycle (warrior) and it was stiff, but better because I can ride the whole day without feeling anything. For the ones...
