    Hi and welcome - I also have a Rocket 111 the T version. Used to have an Explorer xc but moved up to the beast. R3 forum is loaded with trans problems, nearly put me off my bike ( don't like hassles especially expensive ones). All the best mate:)

    What's your name on R3? We've probably chatted before.

    Welcome to the forum Paul.
    That sounds like more than just bad luck with that low a mileage, get shut once rebuilt would be my advice, but not to anyone on this forum.

    No none as yet - great bikes - just when you read the horror stories, it makes you wonder.
