I'm interested in your opinions regarding Progressive fork springs as I've noticed many Rocket riders have installed them. I feel that the stock rear shocks aren't too bad, but the front forks seem really inadequate considering the weight of the Rocket being so far forward. Rough spots in the...
Today and for the second time in the 1,900 miles that I've put on the bike since I bought it a few months ago from a local Powersports dealer, my clutch has started to slip when under load! It happens at the torque peak of course and at anything over about 25% throttle. If I stay below that...
Hello Folks!
Really excited to be a part of this forum with my new and recent purchase of 2014 Rocket 3 Roadster here in Dubai, UAE. I purchased a 0Kms model directly from the dealership and since it is nearly a year old (0 Kms) had got a good deal.
however since the ride I have been facing 2...
Selling my 2011 rocket roadster, only 2300 miles. You can see from the low miles I just don't have time to ride it much! Bought it new and condition is perfect. Had the stage 1 package put on around 200 miles and it has been awesome ever since.
The stage 1 kit is really a great option, keeps...
Looking to sell my 14 Rocket III Roadster. I bought this along with an 8 year extended warruntee and there is just short of 7 years left remaining. The bike is completely stock and is in great condition besides a 3 inch gouge on the fuel tank (see pictures). With 3700 miles I will be asking...
Hi everyone, I am new to the forum and am very close to purchasing a Rocket III this week. I just need some clarifications about the bike I have checked out:
The bike in question is a 2009 Rocket III and the seller keeps telling me it is a 'roadster.'
Based on the research I have done, I think...
i could find nothing in the owner's manual about a small electrical pigtail that sticks out under the left front of the saddle. Trickle charger hookup? Plug in for electric heated suit?
On the saddle, what is this air intake plenum built into the seat? Jet stream cooling for the butt? Do...
Just curious, has anyone had any pinstriping done on their roadster? If so can you post or link a pic? I'm thinking some gold striping would look good on a gloss black roadster.
I have the r3r large screen with hardware also a corbin dual tour with rider backrest, a brand new rivco riser and the complete triumph update kit. pm me if interested. steve59
I picked up a new-to-me (2012 model) roadster today. I had taken it for a test ride last night and sealed the deal today. Funny how perceptions change. I've been into ADV riding for several years now and never had an interest in "cruiser" type bikes. Well, several months ago I picked up a...
Hello R3 Owners.
I've got 40 years and 3/4 million miles on these o'l butt cheeks of mine. I was originally intrigued by the R3 back when I owned a Honda Valkyrie in the late 90's. I currently pilot an 06 K1200R BMW that I've put every one of its 58,000 miles on.
I'm familiar with the...
I never had any interest in a "cruiser" style bike until a few months ago. I'm heavily into the adventure bike thing and picked up a Tiger 800XC last fall. Love the bike, it is a great match for my riding-just finished the Idaho Backcountry Discovery Route a couple weeks ago-1400 miles of...
My previous (2007) Rocket III STD. had less HP and TQ according to Triumph than does my 2015 X or any current Roadster for that matter. Not sure what was done to gain the additional #'s but my question is this: I read that the previously limited 1st-3rd gears is no longer on current models...

Hey folks...I just got back from a 3K mile ride around Nova Scotia with my "other bike" (2006 Concours-first time riding it) and while I enjoyed it quite a lot it was good to be back on the Rocket. Rode to work this morning...my new habit has been to lock the steering at the ignition, and...
