Motorcycle specifications Triumph2300 ROCKET III Roadster 2016 Dark Vador


presentation of the 2300 ROCKET III Roadster 2016
the Rocket III is the very expression of excess, an avalanche of torque and sensations. A mechanical ogre, whose 3-cylinder engine is light years ahead of standard considerations. This engine is such a beast that Triumph used to muzzle it in the first three gears.
It seems those days are over, and the world is ready to take on the full power of this enormous 2.3-liter mill. In 2013, the manufacturer blew off the bridle that cut 7% of its power from first gear to 3rd gear. From now on, each gearbox sprocket will have to cope with the 148 horsepower and 22.4 mkg available to the right hand. If for some the cup was already full, the Rocket III Roadster comes to shake the whole table and those around it.
violent and intimidating, the Rocket III truly tilts to the dark side of the force. It even loses some of its chrome, replaced by black and more black. It's not dark by design, but a number of elements have become so: headlights, mirrors, mudguard fastenings, airbox cover, etc. The exhaust line and meters escape this fate and continue to shine with light and silver.

Otherwise, there's no need to reverse, except for small Quequettes, and it's worth it. Rating : 5/5 Respond to Badcat
i didn't rate it a 5, because there's no reverse (damn, it's heavy when you park on a slope!) and then I had to fit USB sockets for the connected devices... not to mention fitting a switch to turn off the headlights when you start up... Apart from that, all the others with their mopeds (even the cops) can go to Plumeau's
Ah ah ah (evil laugh)...!!!! Rating : 4/5 Respond to Bigfrancois
Despite going to the diagnostic case, my Rocket is running at 2000 rpm at idle
Could it be an idle sensor? Has this happened to anyone?
Merci de votre réponse

I have the same, for 2 years now and I am cotent
I wanted to ask you how I can pass a larger rear tire in 260-280 to the cardan shaft
I'm thinking of widening it, but what is the best solution? Rating : 5/5 Respond to Silenus
