No just thought he should tell the potential buyer how much and where. I'm waiting for the new 2500cc Rocket to come out.

The Update kit was a factory kit of about US$2000 worth of parts they sold cheap for just US$200 or so to fix an emerging problem with the transmission on the earlier bikes. It should show up on your service records if it was done. The kits are no longer available and R3 that have not been updated are considered a riskier purchase even with low miles like yours as the problem may emerge with a few thousand more miles.

I had asked this question at my Triumph dealer a few years back and they said that mine did not need it due to production date?

THE EMERGING PROBLEMS WERE NOT THE TRANSMISSION it was at the time the output shaft assembly causing major problem ,,,,I remember as I had to take that output shaft assembly off the motor casing to replace the cheap bearings which had broken up inside.

Are they going to make a 2500cc rocket for sure not just speculation?

You can find them anywhere from $250 to $2,000, as I don't think it's made any longer. Install time is estimated between 16 and 20 hours.

Are they going to make a 2500cc rocket for sure not just speculation?

According to the Triumph rep for my area the new Rocket will be an "all new" bike. I have asked him several times about the displacement, every time he is very coy and he acts like he doesn't know anything about that. I met a fellow in 2011 that told me his uncle worked for a machining company that made several 2500cc engine blocks for Triumph. Another forum member was asked his opinion by Triumph at a bike show what he thought about a 2500cc 170 horsepower Rocket.

So with all the secrecy about the new Rocket I believe Triumph will be making a big deal out of the new bike when the launch comes in 2019 or 2020.
