    How to adjust suspension?

    I've got a new to me 2008 Touring. It's my 2-up bike, but I'm finding the rear suspension to feel like it bottoms out on some bumps in the road. It hurts my wife. How do I adjust the suspension, and how much would I adjust it? My wife and I are about 380lbs total.

    Rear Suspension Preload clicks or full turns?

    I haven't touched the rear suspension in a long time and it did seem a little soft so I went to adjust the preload. I watched Col and Zig's video again and I think the confusion is from the terminology used. I counted 34 clicks, half turns, from tightened all the way up to loose at the bottom of...

    Front suspension upgrade

    Gold star emulators by racetech. Dial in preload and rebound slow and fast. Three sets of springs, 2 diffuser plates for slow speed, and 2 shims for high speed. I reworked from widowmaker which ran yellow springs and 1 diffuser and no shim on spring. I hope this will stabilize this front end at...

    Larger rear tire... adjustment to rear suspension?

    Good afternoon y'all... I read through this great forum that you could fit a 240/55r16 rear tire on the rocket 3 roadsters. This worked out wonderfully for me but I have a question about rake and trail (heard this from a mechanic, still looking into how it works). The question is, do I need to...

    Wheel alignment - pulling hard to the left

    My 2024 Rocket 3 Storm Gt pulls hard to the left and after a ton of research, i found that's how the motorcycle was supposed to be made with the front wheel not being in the centre of the forks. This is to counter the balance of the shaft and the triple motors. I understand the offset but many...

    Front suspension leaking oil

    So about a month ago I noticed oily residue around my right front brake caliper and upon further inspection realized that the pistons were not moving at all. Took it apart, cleaned it all up, replaced all the seals (on both sides, mind you) and put it all back together. Brakes appeared to be...

    Hi everyone. Am a new R3 owner in the UK, recently picking up a newish GT from a local Triumph dealer.

    Trying to ID Plastic Part on Fork Damper Rod

    I am changing the fork oil in my 2013 R3T and decided to dismantle them to inspect the fork innards. Unfortunately I broke the little black ring on the damper rod in one of the forks. I am assuming this part aids guiding the damper rod and affecting the fluid flow by the way it is shaped. I...

    Suspension bottoming out

    I hit a rather large pot hole the other day and noticed a clunk when I did. It sounded like the fork bottoming out. Today I hit a pretty big bump at speed heading up a hill and heard the same thing again. Anyone familiar with this experience?

    2020 R3 GT suspension upgrades

    Hi guys, I love my 2020 R3 GT but I find the ride quality a bit lacking for my taste and for the conditions of the pavement around here(Massachusetts). I’ve softened everything as much as I can but still find it harsh‘ish . Does anybody offer suspension tuning for the R3 ? Thanks
