Hello everyone from Florida!

Hello Ricky and welcome from Virginia. That sounds like a nice low mileage bike, especially for Florida. I was stationed there for 12 years of my life and can't imagine a bike more than 8 months old with only 10K miles... All ribbin aside, if you are lucky enough to live close to the salt water, your issue may be corroded battery cables. Our bikes have week 8 gauge cables and going up to 6 or 4 gauge helps a lot. Good luck!
 
Welcome from Florida Ricky.Look for @idk 's avatar you will can find a link to do2nload a manual.To lift the tank remove three screws holding the speedometer housing then unplug electrical connector or try swinging overthebars,then remove the two bolts at the front of the tank and raise the tank.There is a prop on the upper right-hand frame rail to hold the tank up.Where in FL.are you from?
Thanks Fingers, Im living in Port St John ...where abouts are you?
 
Welcome Ricky from a UK Ricky.
To lift the tank undo the bolt at the front (on top) and she hinges up. There's a tank support rod clipped to the underside of the tank to use as a prop. Take care when you swing the tank up because I believe on some Rockets the gauges are in the way and have to be swung out the way first.
Hope that helps.
Thank you! Another Ricky? thats cool.. Im gonna check on it and let you know! From what I've been reading these bikes are famous for that issue and Triumph is well aware of it but won't do anything to address it. Must be making too much $$ on repairing them I imagine..
 
WELCOME to ya, Ricky from WA State.
No expert here, but sounds like perhsps a fried ignition switch to me.

HAHAHAHA!! I actually just moved down from Boston. I just retired and never had time to ride before.. Thats why such low mileage. I brought it down about a yr ago with only 6500 miles on it so have used it a bit more down here... :)
