.060 Over
Hi I have a 2006 black engine Rocket 3. It now has 19200 miles on the clocks. Triumph were able to give me the bikes history and apart from having the ignition switch replaced under warranty when it was 2 years old, and a recall to change the map to increase the idle rpm it has not had any other warranty work done apart from annual servicing and is not subject to any other recalls. Im just wondering how much driveline noise is considered normal for you rocketeers?
If I have the bike stationery in gear and release the clutch just enough to transmit power but not enough to get the bike moving there is a noticeable clunk sound from the driveshaft. I figure this is normal as my previous shaft drive bikes were similar. However;
My TPS is on its way out so the idle doesn't hold very stable at the moment, if you have the bike in gear, say in third or fourth going downhill at a steady speed at low rpm without touching the throttle you can hear the clonking again from the driveshaft over the engine noise as the engine rpm fluctuates.
I haven't ridden the bike for a while as I haven't been well so I may just be being overly paranoid every time I hear an unusual noise but its better to be safe than sorry!
Theres a bit of other noise noticeable below 1800rpm but I will need to hop on the bike again and have a good listen before I can think how to describe it properly!
