  1. First Service - Rocket 3R - too expensive?

    I bought Rocket 3R 3 months ago and now its due for its first service after 600 miles. I got a quote of $495 from my dealership for the first service which I believe is very steep. Any suggestions or alternatives available that others have tried in the past to reduce the cost?
  2. How many days until battery discharge when rocket3R is not in use

    Hi, can someone tell me how long it takes until battery discharges to the point where it only turns on INSTRUMENT DASH but does not kick the starter motor ( battery voltage goes around 8V as compare to 13V ) when the bike is not in use at all? 10days? 20days? 40days? Edit : Please check this...
  3. What do you guys recommend as the best throttle lock for a 2015 Rocket Touring?

    I just bought a 2015 Touring and she'll be taken on a lot of long rides. My right hand goes numb very quickly if I can't shake it out regularly so a good throttle lock or cruise control is essential. The bike is in Spokane Washington and I'll fly up and drive her home to Phoenix as our first...
  4. Finally bought a Rocket. She's still at the dealership but I'll fly up and get her soon!

    I've loved the Rockets since the first time I saw a Red/Chrome on back in ~2008. I always wanted a Touring and now that they've stopped making those I figured I should get one while they were still around. Today I bought a 2015 with 7529 miles and I can't wait to fly up to Spokane and drive her...

  8. Tools for headlight alignment: 2008 Triumph Rocket III

    Kind of an odd question: what tools do I need to do a headlight alignment on a 2008 Triumph Rocket III? Reason is, I am meeting a buddy for a weekend ride and I know his headlights are not aligned properly. We will have a little down time, and I thought I would do him a solid and I would prefer...
  9. I love my Rocket 3 R but ......

    It must be close to 18 months or 2 years I have had it now. I might be exaggerating a little bit but it feels like for half the time I have owned it, it has been in the workshop. From the initial clutch issue which seemed to go for 4-6 months to various starting issues. The latest; I haven't...
  10. Potential Purchase of a Rocket

    G'day All, I'm considering moving up to a Rocket from the current America I now have, I'm looking for something a bit more comfy and more capable for two up longer rides. I've come across a 2009 model that's done 38,500kms, although I haven't got to see it yet. It's got a bit of fruit on it...

  12. How to carry wet weather gear on Rocket 3

    I'm the proud new owner of a Rocket 3 GT and while very impressed by the bike itself am underwhelmed by the luggage options. In particular I'm wanting to work out a way to carry wet weather gear with me but am less than impressed with the options I can find. At present I'm thinking of ordering...

  18. 2008 Rocket with LED headlights

    I had a 2006 Rocket SE and the ignition wires got hot and the solder melted causing the wires to separate from their posts. I know this was a common problem on the early Rockets up to I think about 2010 model year. The ignition switch was replaced at that time. Fast forward now to present and...
