Good morning All,
Picked up the R3 roadster last week. Whilst I’ve had bikes for my whole adult life, never a Triumph, and particularly not a bike like this.
Any hints, tips, general do’s / don’ts will be much appreciated.
Look forward to chatting
Cheers

One thing I can say is be prepared to have very limited support from either Triumph or the after-market. I haven't been on the forum long but it seems to be full of helpful and rabidly faithful R3 fans so keep checking in!

The big don't.
DO NOT poke the bear - unless you REALLY REALLY want to. And especially not early on in the relationship.
It may be like a big cuddly teddy if you ride gently - but it can bite back hard if mistreated.
