Yes it was until I filled up. You can see it goes off after that.

Only a mother could love the sound of a Rocket III... Just curious that's the first gear shifting indicator i've seen on a Triumph Rocket III. Is that an after market addition.

Surprised you haven't seen one before. It's a popular mod as the ATRE model (mine's just the older DS) fakes the ECU out to think it's always in the higher gears which gives unrestricted timing in all gears. Plugs into the OBDII port. It's one of the first mods I read about on this forum along with removing the secondary throttle plates but to be honest I've never "seen" on in any pics or vids either, just heard people talk about them. You can do the timing thing with TuneECU or TuneBoy so that's why mine's just an indicator.

A mate had a turbo on his r3 with two intercoolers on it .it seemed to perform okay ,the guy I was talking to was taking a super charger of his and replacing with turbo as they are far more economical..Torque addict really enjoyed the way the speedo got to 240kph or 150 mph .nice controll mate

Thanks for the video, had to laugh when you lost the dip stick and you said you are not going to look for it this time so you have went looking for it before

Awesome video! That just insane....what a beast! I only have the GIPro-ATRE on my touring. I did order a TuneECU cable and downloaded PowerTripps tune. I probably won't put it on as I'm concerned about my warranty. Oh well, it was fun to watch your video anyway.
