- Rocket 3R great bike currently with shit rear brakes, and a cracked lower screen which i now know is a common problem with these models .
Update as of 20/9/2024 Both the rear master cylinder and the instrument cluster have been replaced by Triumph and all good so far rear brake is as it should be .
Nothing to do with the bike, but I just love your accent. Can't wait to visit Scotland again. 🤩
Great review btw and good to know about the rear brake recall. 👍
Agree 100% with the statement regarding the rear brake .Just hope no one got hurt because of this .Bet they blame Brembo .
Good to see another Scottish rocket owner. I would say if you are getting the bike in for the brake. Also try to get the crack on the lower dashboard screen under warranty. Seems a few people have had them done under warranty (even it was out of warranty)
I had never noticed this before you stated it .Yes mine is cracked and you can see it in the video .
Im getting a new instrument cluster free from Triumph dealer ordered it today whilst i was getting my rear brake repaired .
It good to hear a fellow Rocket owner's opinion, I wasn't aware of the rear brake cylinder recall. Like you I bought my 2021 Rocket 3 GT Triple Black second hand with similar milage. It's an awesome bike for sure but like you say the rear brake is poor. I fitted the quick shifter on its last service and find it pretty smooth up and down, I think it depends how you use the throttle in conjunction with it. It differs slightly from the QS on my KTM 890 Adventure R which can be jerky if not throttled up for up and down for down. Videos of my bike are on my other channel @greywolf9292 along with my other bikes, ZZR 1400 Performance Sport, the KTM and a Triumph 900 Thunderbird Sport. I'll sub you from that channel 👍
Can you put on a video of the exhaust sound please
@@gra271Just look for ixil triumph rocket exhaust and there is one with dB killers in and another with them out.
I find the quick shifter flawless shifting up or down. And I have had no problem with the rear brakes although I do use the front brakes more. Just my opinion with tons of miles on my 2020 GT.
@@jimanders9971 Did you get the re call done and have the rear master cylinder changed out .
@@saltire546 I did but could not tell any difference. I had no problem before the recall.
@@jimanders9971 All I can say is that my rear brakes are dangerous and it's booked in to be replaced, also my instrument gauge is getting replaced under warranty.
@@saltire546 I have no doubt you have a legit issue. Many others have said the same thing. I am one of the lucky ones.
Yes re call done and also got a new instrument cluster , rear brakes are they should be .
The original number plate hanger looks terrible. Yours is much tidier.
But a gift for arsey coppers and the MOT man.
@@01menyou No issues with the MOT but the cops might be a different matter , so far never had them behind me but just hit the rocket 🚀 boosters 😂
@saltire546 there's plenty of MOT issues. Type Approval requires the rear tyre to not be the rearmost exposed part.
Look even at any sports bike, non are supplied with the rear tyre not covered by the number plate assembly.
Hurt someone in an accident, and a world of trouble appears with insurance.
@@01menyou Howz about all the Hardley Movin Sons with side mounted rear plates , i got followed by a motorcycle cop yesterday for around 20 miles and he never pulled me over !!.
I believe everything you say man even the seagulls are agreeing left and right 😂
Thanks 👍
