    R3T TuneECU needed

    I am getting the K&N triple filters setup from Flip. My R3 Touring still has the stock exhaust and I do not plan on changing that for a while, at least until I can afford Jardines or something a bit louder. Does anyone have a good tune from Tune ECU that I can use to give the bike a bit more...

    R3T Riser Remedy - Maybe

    I am working on an idea to remedy the movement in the risers on the R3T. My thought is to design a one piece aluminum stepped washer to replace the rubber washer and metal washer between the risers and the triple tree. By doing this it should make it more of a solid mount therefore alleviating...

  4. R3T running rough when not under load

    I have an 08 R3T. When it's under load all seems fine but when the load is off (e.g. cruising at low speed with more or less not load such as through a slow zone or rounding a bend) it runs rough - sort of surges or feels like its missing. I end up dragging the rear brake to create load...

    R3T on the Loneliest Highway in America

    This ride has been going through my mind for over a year now. San Diego to Highway 50 (ghost towns galore!) to Reno, and back down to San Diego. I’m doing it solo. Leaving this Saturday, November 17th and returning on the 19th. · 572 miles the first day, from San Diego to Ely, Nevada (via...

    Primacy lc radial tire for r3t

    Hi, :) I am new to R3 and I have just bought a 2008 R3T. I have owned a number of rides since 1978 and my last was a Kawasaki 600 Ninja. I was all set to buy a Goldwing…something I had fantasized about for the past 30 years and the Goldwing “Deals Gap” video :eek:(Google it) made me crazy to...

    R3T fuel

    I have been burning premium (91-92 octane) in my R3T as recommended by my dealer. I have noticed R3 captains burning regular. Any R3T captains using regular? Not that I am cheap:-) but would this not adversely affect the machine?

  8. R3T Saddlebags on R3R?

    Has anyone attempted to fit the R3T saddlebags onto the R3R with stock exhaust?

    Which tachometer can be used with R3T?

    Has anyone tried any specific brand of tach? Most of the manufacturers can't tell me if theirs will work on a 3cyl. Does anyone know if the Rocket uses the "waste spark" ignition (which fires each time the piston is at TDC, once compression and once exhaust) or is it the traditional system which...

    LIft points on the R3T?

    Looked at a great motorcycle lift today for $400.00. They guy demonstrated on a Harley and then a stratoliner both having frame bars at the bottom. He wanted to lift my bike with it but with no rails I wasn't comfortable using the bottom of the motor. Has anyone here used one of these lifts on...

    Better tune for R3T?

    I am running Jardines, triple 2780 K&Ns, and Tuneecu 20368. I get tons of popping and backfiring on decel, but that was the only tune I found for a Touring with aftermarket pipes on the Tuneecu site. It runs much stronger, but I am concerned it might be overly lean. I am planning on doing a...

    R3T Transmission Trouble

    My 2010 developed transmission trouble about two and a half weeks ago. It started out as difficulty finding neutral and kept getting worse until about two weeks ago when it started missing shifts, going into false neutrals and jumping out of gear into false neutrals. This happened either when...

    R3T and PCV

    I researched the hell out of this on this forum prior to doing it. Everything I found indicated a PCV/AT would work on a 2008 R3T. Now I just read a post from Hanso saying it might not. Mine has been installed now for several months and running fine. It really stunk (exhaust gas) with the...

  17. Future R3t owner

    Hi everyone, First off I'm new to the site and don't own a rocket yet but plan on buying one early next year. Right now I'm curious about any issues or anything I should look out for when I do purchase my beast. The reasons I want an r3t are, there are none in my area (probably because...

    R3T in Hendersonville, NC

    There was a black and red R3T in Hendersonville, NC last night on Main street. Stock exhaust, rounded looking hard bags, two up. Who dat was ? We were at the Irish Pub dining street side when you went by. Our Rocket was parked down on a side street like any good outlaw would do.

    Anyone's R3T Headlight Reflector Fogging Up?

    Bought a used R3T in Jan 2010. Noticed that the headlight reflector was fogged with something. It wasn't water moisture cause when I tried to wipe it off with a microfiber towel thru the bulb hole, the towel was coated with a yellowish substance. It cleaned up pretty good, but was back again in...

    R3T Replacement Battery

    OK. My OEM Battery on my 09 R3T is still working OK, but I have no desire to be stranded one day when it goes belly up, so I'm looking to prophylactically replace it. I have focused on the Scorpion YTX20HL-BS (YTX20HL-BS Scorpion 12 Volt Powersport Battery) but have recently become...
