    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...

    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...

    Mileage and the R3T

    Over the past year I've made what I believe to be an absolutely accurate observation regarding the R3T and it's fuel mileage. The Touring is VERY sensitive to the windscreen being used. I've documented the fact that using the short screen supplied with he bike will yield between 2.5 and 6...

    09 R3T Trunk option

    Finally back from the paint shop. It would have been nice if Triumph offered a trunk and fairing option but with a little work you can make aftermarket parts work. The trunk(tour pack) was off a recked HD.The fairing is from Reckless Motorcycles.com. I mounted it to the stock quick change mount...

    Possible new tire choice for r3t rear

The tire is made by Dunlop. The size is 180X65/16. Ours are 180X70/16. Anyone looked at this tire? Would going from a 70...

    Michelin Commander II's on my 2010 R3T

    My Metzlers were nearly bald with 13,000 miles on the front and 10,500 miles on the rear. I had to replace the OEM rear at 2500 miles when it was punctured picking up a nail. I looked around on the internet for a longer lasting tire and came across the new Michelin Commander II which is claimed...

    R3T Makeover Pt. 1

    Taking 10 pieces of chrome to PowderTech Plus Inc. to be powder coated this Saturday. Was told they are on a 2 week time schedule - very excited and can't wait to see the results. Once these come back and I put the bike back together I will have to see what else may need a touch of powder. :cool:
