Nice,

yes all services so for.

@ what were they? Trying to get a sense of the value of the service. If it was just an oil and filter change then it was expensive and unnecessarily done by the dealer. Was there any technical work performed like adjusting valves etc?

​@@JLK7700 - I agree, servicing a Triumph is very expensive. The first-year service labour cost was £237, with the total, including parts, coming to £385. The breakdown included items such as the filter, washer, sealing components, environmental and consumable items, as well as Castrol Power 15W50 oil. Technical work performed included updates to the ECU and checks for any recalls. Although valve clearance adjustments are typically recommended at 20,000 miles, this was not part of the first service. For the first three years, having the service done gives me peace of mind, as I know I won’t run into any warranty issues.

Never mind. I am an idiot. Looking more closely at your pics i placed the metal template above the pegs sticking up from the plastic tray when I should have placed the template BELOW the pegs. Lesson Learned at a cost of $65 USD

no worries, to be fair I bought a spare one before starting which was a waste of time, they were quite cheep on eBay for £30, thanks for watching anyway,,

Hello markettradinggenius Great Question, my Q&A below Would it be a good motorcycle for long-distance riding, especially regarding lower back issues? My bike is exceptionally comfortable for extended rides, especially when compared to the GT version. Although I suffer from back issues (sciatica), the ergonomics of the R version have been perfect for me. I initially considered adding aftermarket seats, but the standard seat has proven excellent so far. Have there been any mechanical issues preventing you from riding? In over three years of ownership, I have experienced no significant mechanical issues. The only exception was a faulty kickstand spring, which was promptly replaced under warranty. If the bike breaks down and it's your only daily rider, would the dealership provide a loaner bike? When my bike was under warranty, I consistently had positive experiences with my local branch. They always offered me a loan bike during service appointments. I will need to confirm whether this policy still applies during my next service visit, but I hope it does. I'll update everyone once I know more. Does the rear wheel spin up water on your jacket when riding in the rain? Yes, the rear wheel does cause some water spray, but this is easily mitigated. Installing a full rear wheel hugger would significantly reduce the spray. Personally, I just rely on the full rain gear I keep in my bag, which works well for me.

@@TheEarlster thanks for answering all my questions my man. Much appreciated. Seems like the rocket 3R is perfect ergonomically for the lower back :)

@ no problem, if you can take a test ride on both models, the seat in the GT is lower than R, I was swapping seats around just to get a feel,

@@TheEarlster Quick question. Do you think you would have the same 'comfortable riding' experience on the Gen 3 Hayabusa as you do the Rocket 3R ?

​@@markettradinggenius This is an easy one for me, Hayabusa is undoubtedly a comfortable bike, but, the riding style between the two is entirely different. The Rocket 3R is a cruiser style for sure, upright seating position designed for relaxed, long-distance rides, whereas the Hayabusa features a sportier, forward-leaning posture that's more performance focused, I have only taken out the Gen 3 for a short ride so cannot comment on long rides.

Triumph sports tail pack part number A9510469, and it anchored down my the pillion seat strap and a provided strap on the back which latch connect/release

@ thanks for the detailed info !

If I didn't have this bike, I would definitely bought the STORM in a heartbeat in black/blue colour for sure,

@@marksmit8112 yeah me too, it’s my second one now, but to be fair, my heart say replace it for another while my aching back says are you crazy,

I'll definitely keep my keen eyes on it this time round, until now I never knew this was an issue or anyone had they screen replace free of charge, thanks for sharing.

Chigee AIO-5, very easy to install, the only challenging task is to hide the cable, 2008 Triumph Rocket III was the original road king for sure,

Thanks triumphthunderbird1, couple of forums I'm in do the Germany run, definitely on the bucket list,

Tell me about it, sure was a big pill to swallow,

OMG CaptainRambunctious, thank you so much, I’m genuinely thrilled to see your comment on my channel. Your TH-cam videos are outstanding, and I truly admire your work. This video may not be up to your high standards, but I love keeping it real! Plus, it’s so easy to vlog about something that’s such a joy to ride.

@@TheEarlster ah, it’s a pleasure to watch a good vlog on an excellent bike! Glad you like my videos! Am not just a small amount jealous of your bike!! What a machine! Enjoy and ride safely sir!

Believe a small spanner may have fallen from the loft in the garage. When I initially checked the tank and surround, I didn’t notice any damage and assumed everything was fine. However, I discovered a crack several months later. At first, I considered not replacing it and wasn’t particularly concerned, but since I do a lot of riding in the rain for work, I decided it was best to bite the bullet and replace it. lesson learnt and move the bike next time lol, thanks for watching.

@@TheEarlster Thank you for the reply. Some TH-camr’s have mentioned their screens have cracked so I naturally thought it was a Triumph problem. I think possibly some owners apply too much force when adjusting the height of the screen without releasing the clamp. Ride safe!

​@@wakajawaka44 Funny you asked I did wonder if it was me because I saw another TH-camr with a same type of crack but on the other side, I will have to ask him the next time I watch his video,

Mine is cracked too, it's a well known issue. I think it's from vibration ​@TheEarlster

@@valentinrizvan1870 Thank you for sharing your information. I wonder if this fault applies to Rocket 3’s over 2 years old ? Or perhaps it depends on mileage!

It was fun and enjoyable, I'm looking for another one for my SF but since Chigee released this model, there been so many other to choose from.

it's in the description

lol, yeah it's big

Hello, apologies for the delay I only just noticed this, the Brand name is "Roadlok" and I purchased to from roadlok.com. They will ship in the US for sure.

not really concerned, I have been caught out a few time, but the best part is weekly cleaning which is some what satisfying for me,

agree it does get dirty in the rain, but the best part is weekly cleaning for me,

@@DM-ci2nn nice one good choice, I only went in for a look, saw the Rocket GT triple black, and ended up with a test ride on the demo, after the test ride, it was a sealed deal, had to get it, 3 years later it still the best and most comfortable ride ever, I’m well happy,

Congratulation on your second purchase, it's nice to have the both, enjoy.

Apologies for the delay, It is a Puig Touring Screen Dark for Triumph Rocket 3 R/GT.

100% agree, to be fair, it did took a while for me to discover myself,

I hear you mate, the SF seating position is so comfortable, it's now my daily commute.

agree, there is a lot of manufacturers copying one another, to rich for my blood lol

You are 💯correct, the Akrapovich titanium mufflers originally belong to Ducati Panigale Superleggera👊

@@TheEarlster yes that is correct.

You know that lol

@@kushsakhumate it was very chilly at the beginning, but after breakfast and a few jokes, we all loved it 👊🏽

Fair enough, and you're correct each to their own😏

I love the KTM, and agree full blacked out superduke 1390r evo would be in my garage for sure,

@@friendryan fair enough, beauty is an individual thing,

sadly, we will be waiting for a very long time lol

@@TheEarlster yes ,atleast they should consider that street fighter is for streets . That is the purpose of the bike.

@@TheEarlster The panigale has it and the upcoming SF facelift will also have it.

@@tsarnevits Yeah thanks mate, I'm holding back and await to see what happens,

@@TheEarlster It does seem that they still haven't added a fuel gauge, but the cruise control is way more "important" in my mind atleast.

Cost at the time £4200, but now it's £5400+

@@TheEarlster that’s too expensive for a street legal exhaust. Even the race slip on Akra exhaust provided by Ducati is expensive but cheaper than this. I don’t know what Akra and Ducati thinking of this absurd pricing

agree, if I had to do it again I would of opt for the termignoni exhaust, it wasn't out when I first bought it.

Hope this helps.

@@justinniessen1983 Interesting, I’ll look and observe this, thanks for watching

Ouch, cross threaded screw is definitely painful, I hope this is resolved now, agree instruction made me nervous in some section. So I had to share my installation experience. Thanks for watching.

thanks Bud, I think you need to ride her, only when you are ready, no pressure.

lol that's funny, to be fair my mrs was the same for the 1st bike, she didn't thought I wanted so many bikes after a few years,

@@TheEarlster well i think it goes without saying that streetfighter v4 is not my first bike haha

me too, love riding her everywhere, a smile for every mile for sure.

Wow that's in the sweet spot for most riders, I hope I do not have that to come. Thanks for watching,

The cutting out or the bike?

@@mrstatictunes cutting out

I know, I was gutted when I saw the lock gates, perhaps next year, thanks for watching.

Cheers mate, I'll have to make more of an effort to pop down :-)

100%, also the Honda Fireblade CBR 1000RR sounds were pretty up here, I'll showcase it next time,

Thanks for watching and I totally agree; the build quality is outstanding. I have my eyes on the Multistrada and definitely need to book a test ride.

We know that 👊🏾

Yes, one of the mirrors was damaged, and the strangest thing is that I have no idea how it happened. Initially, it wasn't a big deal, but over time, it started to irritate me, so I decided to give them away. I did intended to replace them with a smaller pair, but during the COVID-19 pandemic, it was impossible to find a suitable replacement. I only wished these mirrors were scratch proof for the money, but this will not stop me to buy them again.

Yes, I had the Panigale V4s during my California Superbike School training. It was absolutely a dream to ride, so much so that I really wanted it. However, I couldn’t justify having two superbikes, so I bought the SFV4s instead.

@@TheEarlster awesome. I’ve to try it on demo again. Heat isn’t fun even on a short demo which has me worried. The SF also feels pokier at lower speed- torque is king on the road

​@@markholmes5695 yes certainly go on many demo to decide. To be fair all my bikes over litre run hot it's not funny, the SF need to breathe by keep moving so lots of lane filtering for me, but excellent for urban rides. With the two cylinder cutoff this definitely helps, the new generation SF has more torque, so you won't be disappointed, I saw the new Panigale Racing Replica 2023 yesterday I wanted to trade in my bike, it was drop dead gorgeous, ride safe.

Couldn't agree more!

agree, also on track it lovely too,
