Topic: 08 Triumph Rocket 3

[Kevin D]

My son has picked up a non-running Rocket 3. I haven’t seen it, he hasn’t yet laid a wrench on it.
He spoke of a $500 engine gasket set, ouch, and performance mods! Maybe a ride on a running bike will change his mind about performance mods.
I’m hoping to get a proper ride on it.

Kevin….. Wow! Cool project for your son. Is he far from you?

[MauiK3]

Looks like a nice bike, not running?
Can't be too much wrong, doesn't look abused.

[Kevin D]

No, he’s not too far away, and this is a new chapter and challenge for him. I don’t believe he has a fortune invested, but I don’t know the details. I think those are reflections in the tank not scratches. He has sold his Concours and I think the 919 Hornet is for sale on FB.

Send it to Terry in Australia for a tune-up !    He is our resident expert on these.

Yes Terry has two last time I checked.

Yes, we have chatted a bit. But I can’t find a postage stamp big enough to get it there.

That Triumph look mighty and beatiful.
Nice color!
Must feel cool to ride that amount of torque.

I heard a previous owner report that the cam timing may have altered itself.

He doesn’t ascribe to the “Highlander” motto of bike model ownership…

Terry mentions thinning the herd pretty often, like someone trying to quit smoking but never does. He's got a soft spot for keeping bikes out of the junk yard.
Good for him.

Thinning others........
