    Anybody had this happen.

    Got up this morning to my 05 R3 to work. Noticed the bike seemed to hesitate the backwards roll I have to do to get down my driveway to get to the street. Bike shifted it usual clunky shifts to work. When I went to park could not get the bike to shift to neutral. Shut the bike off, pop right...

  4. Upside down Engine stand

    Hello all, I removed the motor from the frame of my 2007 rocket III classic (silver). I have a transmission problem and since the trans is located in the lower half of the engine I am going to glip this guy upside down to work on it. I will be installing new undercut shafts with a billet 4th...

  6. 2007 Rocket Help T/S!

    Hello all! Today I found myself the new owner of a gorgeous Rocket III... With a catch of course. Money was tight but I've been eyeing this bike for some time. I found one on CL near me with 20k miles on all original parts but last owner reports trans failure. Somewhere between 4th and 5th he...

    Yet another Roadster with a dead transmission

    So, I'm posting this for a couple of reasons. One, to add mine to the list of Rockets with a failed transmission that was supposedly fixed after '10 and two, to see what guys who were successful in getting their claims covered said to corporate. I have 39,000 miles on her. I can't get it out...

    Oh No - Transmission........ BOOM Maybe.

    Went for a little ride today to visit @ozrider at his workshop..... Anyway when I was leaving I naturally gassed it up the road and being a typically hot Queensland day the road is hot and grippy. Well just about to change to second gear i felt an abnormal vibration that continued into second...

    Transmission problem

    I hate to start a new thread on transmission issues, but I have read so many on the subject that I am just getting more confused. I have an 09 Rocket Touring. Last night as I started home, as soon as I started rolling the transmission jumped out of gear but I didn't think much of it. I put it...

    Transmission issue

    I just bought a 2005 Rocket with 8000 miles on it and I seemed to notice some difficulty shifting into 5th gear the other day while under moderate acceleration. Later I had a similar issue with 3rd. It acted like there was no 5th to shift into. It seems if you accelerate slower it is fine. My...

    Speed Shifting Transmission

    Hi All, New to the R3R, was wondering about the type of transmission makeup and gears cuts. Basically interested in knowing if speed shifting or shifting without clutch will damage the trans or not. Thanks. JR

    Big thanks for the education on my new (to me) Rocket!

    Hi all, been trolling here for a while. Seen some posts complaining about dealers so I wanted to say something nice about two. In February I purchased a 2007 Classic Tourer from a dealer in Chicago, I was nervous about buying a bike I hadn't ridden but I fell in love... so you know how that...

    Transmission issue

    Ok, I was being an idiot but just got back from a ride and my rocket was idling funny. So I put it into neutral and revved it up (no clutch) and it popped into first, lurched ahead hard and stalled. I tried to start and ride it to see of it was effed up. Hard to find neutral, had to gear up and...

    Transmission problem

    Hi all, I own a 2006 R3 Classic. I've been having this issue after long period of highway. When I try to downshift it won't downshift. Basically the lever bottoms out, there is no clicking. After many tries and slowing down I am able to go all the way down and then it works properly. I have...

    Annoyed with Triumph right now.

    So long story short, I bought my 2015 R3T about 4 months ago and am having transmission issues. It has ~5700 miles on it and I got it new, old stock. From day one it has always been a bit finicky about finding 1st gear from Neutral (almost exclusively on a cold start). About 1 out of every 10...
