20 Most Recent 2007 Triumph Rocket III Questions & Answers

I've have a service manual on PDF, will be happy to email it if you can supply an address.

The rocket 3 seat is removed using the ignition key...on rh side somewhere near the seat.After this you then lift out the tool kit and you will then see the battery.

If it has only started doing it with that tyre, then it is possible that that tyre is not compatible with your bike. Sounds silly, I know. But bikes are strange animals, and some tyres will create speed wobbles and vibrations and when you change them over to another brand it all goes away. Take it back to the people who fitted the tyre and have them check it out. If they find nothing ask them to fit another brand of tyre to see it that cures the problem.

If you join the triumph forum you can download the manual for free. Its also free to join an there is alot of good advice to be found there.

Check it whaile sitting on the bike..

Hope this helps !!

hi, is this engine, frame or all related?

Best to change out the coolant, try not to use different coolants together. They often do not like each other.
Get one that is good for an alloy engine and glycol based. Also keep away from the green stuff, it is usually crud.

If shaft drive, check that the bolts are tight on driveshaft housing and also look for oil leak there.
Check/ Change rear gear oil. Tighten loose bolts

If chain driven, check/ adjust chain tension, a loose chain will make noise.
if chain is dirty it will make noise.

Other than that the only thing i can think of is you have a nail in your tire and your hearing it hit the road everytime it goes around

Lift the tank. Underneath it you'll find a plastic connector block joining loads of wires together. Turn the ignition on and push this connector block together, or twist it around a bit. If the ignition sequence starts, it'll be because the wires in the connector block are corroded. Moving the block sometimes makes a temporary fix, but ultimately it'll happen again until the block or the wiring harness ideally, is replaced.

YES ARE A BAD SENSOR IS THE SERVICE ENGINE LIGHT ON SPAY ALL INTAKE PARTS WITH CARB CLEANER THIS WILL HELP YOU FIND ANY LEAKS

Go to a triumph shop and ask the question or look below the engine near the middle stand there should be a large No. 17 bolt plug and don't forget to change the oil filter. Good luck

From what I saw looking up this vehicle. There is a Silver panel or cover on the left side of the engine above the air intake that you will have to remove and that will most likely give you access to release the tank to either swing it to the right side of the bike of lift it off. This is an in line 3 cylinder according to the specs and most likely has the plugs accessed from the top under the tank.

i have had this problem with a couple of rocket 3's what i have found is the radator caps on these things are weak. try and replace the cap and see if that don't solve your problem. the last one i had this problem with had a turbo on it and that all it took to solve the problem.

Hi
This does sound like a gearbox problem, either where the cogs lock together (the dogs go into recesses) or the shift forks themselves
The dogs do wear after high mileage which can make them slip out of gear
Ive never heard of a gearbox smoothing out over such low mileage, but I suppose it is just possible
You could get the gearbox 'blueprinted' (i.e. to manufacturers exact specifications) but this will cost a bomb !
Your best bet is to complain again & at least get a ride on another rocket3, or get it sorted under warranty

Ride safe

Please mark this as very helpful (if it has been!!)

Is the first bike?
When you try to select from the second to first, if doesn' working, just easy release the clutch while trying to select first gear. Do not release completly. Just a little bit, and it will work.
At some bikes you could select easier, at anothers...harder, and so on...but this solution is universal available for bikes. If this work, is not faulty.
Cheers.

Your choke may not be releasing.

Try the manufacturer's website

ok buddy simpley easy to bump start just push it down a hill until you think you have enough speed already put the bike in 3rd gear so you just let the clutch and rev it and there you go let it stand for 15 mins for it too charge hope this helped buddy

Were you able to start the engine? If the counter and indicator lights are not working, try to change the fuse or the starter. Check also for loose wiring.
