Triumph Rocket Ramair Fitting

[@adamzammit6744]

I always marvel at what kind of awesome people it takes to make these videos for nothing so all our lives are easier. Freakishly generous. This was fantastic

[@exlynxjock]

Thank you

[@zagork]

thanks for uploading a great tutorial video. i have fitted my ramair filter this afternoon. took just over an hour. i didnt have to pause for a can of beer, but im having one now. cheers

[@exlynxjock]

zagork I'm glad it all worked out.

[@sakiloki4618]

Installed mine today, WOW, very very nice sound. Performance was better, idle better. I followed this video step by step and it made all the difference in the world. Thank you very much for posting this.

[@saxonost7]

Thanks for this video. I just installed my new Ramair system with the help of this video and it all went very well. One small possible tip for installers would be that I used a telescopic magnet while undoing those cheeky bolts holding the plenum on. I held the magnet ready and undid the bolts until I could feel them losing purchase and then inserted the magnet and removed both bolt and washer. Thanks again for the vid!

[@yaxihighriser]

I’ve just fitted my Ramair system in approx 1 1/2 hours. Didn’t need the instruction manual thanks to you. I’ve already fitted cat bypass and Tor’s. Sounds like a WW2 Spitfire now.hehe. Thanks man..

[@stephenpugh8201]

What a great video, put mine on today with out any trouble with screws and allen keys and the RanAir works just fantastic.

[@sqd8r]

Ram Air Systems should use your video. Seriously this is excellent. I was only curious about the ram air until you started it and gave it some throttle. Totally different sound to the bike. Thank you very much for your time and the effort.

[@teejtata]

Great instructions mate. Thanks from Down Under 'Straya! 🇦🇺

[@kiwimunster]

Thanks for the vid. A great help. Fitted my kit today. I didn't get the rubber grommet, but didn't need it as a snug fit anyway. Also didn't get the nylock nut, but found one in my bucket of spares. Following on from your comment in the vid about sealing the old air box, I slid a sheet (cut out of a zip lock gladbag) of plastic over the opening & refitted the original clamp.

[@four5acp]

At 10.00 minutes in the video when you had the issue with the allen key to get off the Plenum. USE A BALL HEX key, that way you can still turn them at up to a 35 degree angle. Thanks to watching your video I was able to get one and it made it so very easy! Your video rocks by the way. Mine went on easy.

[@jimmytulloch123]

I've just ordered my ramair, after watching your vid I feel confident I can tackle this now, thanks for taking the time to record and share.

[@bobbypowell6578]

Thanks Wayne, just installed mine on a 2014 R3T, looks like your tank is held higher than mine. Your walk through did help me a lot!

[@tomw6308]

My valve cover gasket failed like so many others. This is the only video I can find for someone that isn't a gearhead to remove stuff for that process as well. It is a bit daunting for someone who isn't mechanical. Once that tank comes up, it's like holy cow that is a lot of stuff in a tight spot. Again, thanks for the video. I think I might switch over to the RamAir at the same time I do the fix.

[@tomw6308]

I had some long Allen wrenches from my bicycle maintenance. No way I would of got those plemnum screws with a regular size allen key and fat fingers. A magnetic grabber helped me avoid dropping any screws or washers.

[@chinwahjohnTan]

Thanks for the wonderful video! Helped me heaps! Fortunately I have small hands so installation wasn't that bad. Only had problem with the rubber grommet to fit the sensor into ramair. Thanks again!

[@papatruss]

just had the ram air fitted to my rocket, best 125 quid I've ever spent:))))) recommend it highly

[@Mattmatt205]

Wonderful video! Very helpful though the instructions are clear & this is a fairly simple modification, your video made it basically fool proof.

[@LifeguardVegas]

Man, what a fantastic video. You did a great job, very concise. When I finally get my own Rocket, I'll be doing this same mod ASAP.

[@russellcupples2170]

You did a damn good job going in detail .I was very pleased with the tutorial .

[@scubasmith67]

Great video Wayne... Thank you for taking the time to create it.

[@vladdracul4568]

Va multumesc pentru ajutorul domneavoastra eu sunt din Rumania 🇷🇴

[@cdlamph]

Just want to say thanks for this in-depth video, it helped tremendously!

[@cass121248]

Thank you for the post! You are easily understood, and concise. The video was well thought out.

[@GIGABACHI]

Good job documenting the whole process ! Thumbs up for you.

[@XBULLET200g]

Great video! The instructions that Ram Air came with were good but your video really helped a lot.

[@nigelsumner7320]

Fantastic run through the installation thanks mate I'm going to tackle my install tomorrow and hopefully all ends well. I've got TORS exhaust already fitted but as far as the 12 minute cycle goes I'm sure it'll still automatically adjust. Cheers for the Video mate 👍

[@R3N1R3N]

Great video 👍. Looking forward to seeing your new exhaust

[@him91360]

Very well done Sir - you sold me on it and I'm no mechanic - CHEERS!

[@davidplacko6167]

Great video! Thanks for putting it out there. I plan on adding to my ride asap.

[@RayMAKES]

nicely executed video. thanks for posting, very helpful!

[@sakiloki4618]

Well order kit along with cleaner and paid extra for fast delivery. Thanks for the excellent video.

[@logitechcanon]

love the way you explain the small details.

[@oliverschwarz8532]

Thanks a lot Wayne! That was very helpful.

[@stevethwaites3497]

Thankyou for the step by step tuition much appreciated.👍👍👍👍

[@Leftycraig48]

Question about the crank case breather pipe: after pulling the rubber hose or pipe as you refer to it, do you need to plug the end of that hose? Also, I might suggest disconnecting the battery prior to beginning the project (both terminals) and running a jumper wire across the + and - cables (NOT THE BATTERY TERMINALS!!) thereby purging any memory from the ECM and allowing it to reprogram itself from a fresh start. Then reconnect the battery after the installation is complete and allow the ECM to re-tune itself as you demonstrated. (That jumper wire WILL NOT harm the ECM).

[@R3RLEE]

Great vid man, well done!! And l didn't realise the tank stay was there either, lv just checked and its there!!! 😁

[@dmjbj1]

I'm really grateful for this video; I've been considering doing the same to my R3. Just curious, before you decided to do this, did you consider doing the K&N pods? If so, what was the deciding factor in choosing the Ramair? And, are you still happy with the decision? Thanks again.

[@RagingHillbilly]

Great video!!!! Thank you! Thinking about doing this to my rocket 3.

[@exlynxjock]

update... all new ram.air systems have a different polymer rubber compound that is more flexible and avoids splitting issue. they also have a grove in them now for the lip on throttle bodies to sit in. this eliminates slipping off issue.

[@liammoffatt4873]

Great video. Helped me a lot. Did you ever come up with a solution for blocking off the air intake preventing any water filling up the handy storage area?

[@exlynxjock]

No, I've not found it to be an issue. I place spare gloves, hats, glasses etc in a polythene bag and so far it's never been wet. Not even the exterior of the bag.

[@kramerdm]

Great video! Would this be ok to run in the rain?

[@faisalnaim9842]

Will installing the RAM Air without dyno tune or power commander cause the bike to run lean at high speeds?

[@meangene5104]

Awesome video thanks for the great work, I've heard of some people sharing a concern about water possibly getting into the throttle bodies through the system, is this something I really need to worry about? Another question, my bike has a Corbin seat which eliminated that air duct that is supposed to channel air into the system, so I'm probably running inefficiently in terms of air intake, my bike runs great and I love it, is it worth doing this ram Air kit? What kind of performance increase can I expect if any? I have the stock exhaust with the catalytic converter removed

[@Hipporider]

Nicely filmed and explained and an extra thank you for no damn music, especially the chipmunk on ritalin music that is endemic on KZbin clips . I ran Unifilters on my 2005 R3 (it still hasn't burnt to the ground, Ruzzle 🤞) and I'm considering either these RamAir or K&N filters. The Unifilters breath really well, but they're mucky damn things. I'm not sure ethic ck breathes better, the RamAir or the K&N 2650 (I may have that model number wrong on the K&N) 🇦🇺

[@djondoow2217]

hi Wayne, I myself have also a Roadster but after uninstalling among many other things also the mapsensor and ambient(barometric)sensor I got confused by installing parts back again which connector belongs to the mapsensor and which connector is for the ambient sensor. In order not swapping both connectors/sensors I want to know which colours do the 3 wires of the mapsensor have ? If you want to let me know, thanks.

[@genecitarella3516]

Thanks for sharing the info Wayne" I have a 2005 r3 and just installed the PC3, I will eventually do an air box delete but I am now working on getting rid of my cat box and removing the baffles from my exhaust system. Just for kicks and giggles, the ram air kit seems a bit pricy for the simple few items that come in order to make this upgrade, do ya think? "Be Safe"

[@blacktop007]

did you ever test for power gains?

[@Ridgid]

Great video.. next time you change the anti-freeze could you do a video on that. Seems a lot of Rocket captions are afraid to take on the project..

[@wellsgb1957]

Great vid Wayne, Cheers mate!

[@broadysadventuresdownunder]

Great video buddy Putting 1 on at Xmas Good work

[@exlynxjock]

ben Broadbent if you have trouble with the filter boddy staying on the throttle bodies, then do as I did . Make sure they are pushed fully down, and use the original triumph hex head clamps. they seem to hold better I found,

[@derrickfelix503]

Wayne: Hope you put the air filter hood on to retain the moisture protection as was. Look forword to the up grades in the coming months. Cheers

[@tylerbonser7686]

Great video. I cant help but wonder way Triumph didnt make the intake like this from the factory. The cost cant be much different, cheaper i would think than all the ducting to the under seat filter. The only upside to the under seat filter is it might stay a bit cleaner and less chance of sucking in water when its raining.

[@tylerbonser7686]

Also wish i would have thought of that paper towel idea. I dropped a washer behind the oil tank, spent a couple hrs trying to find it. Never found it.

[@Peternic74]

Thanks for they video wayne. I just need to purchase a rocket 3 now.

[@exlynxjock]

Lol, yes would be a good start.

[@foxviewnet1490]

Hey Wayne...very nice tutorial and very detailed. I think you nailed it! Couldn't ask for a better description of the process. Did you ever get a dyno tune with the ramair mod? I would be interested in the difference in the numbers. Thanks again for a great video.

[@exlynxjock]

I've installed a carpenter sidewinder exaust. But to date have not had it on a dyno, but the power increase is easily noticable during all riding situations

[@travisc231]

Did you leave your RAMAIR open without the bearclaw?, going to put one onto my roadster but it seems like putting the bearclaw back on over the Ram Air moots the point of getting a RAM Air system

[@antonygriffin9019]

Enough air flows in and around the Bear Claw.

[@drmatt357]

Great video Wayne. Nice job with one hand holding the camera. It’s been nearly 3 years since you posted. If you still have the bike, did you upgrade the exhaust and put in a PC? Did you ever get a chance to dyno it with the new parts? I know that on some bikes when you remove the plenum, you can lose low end torque. Did you have any such problem like that? Thanks again for your time.

[@exlynxjock]

drmatt357 yes I've installed a Carpenter Racing sidewinder 3 into 1 racing exhaust. The power gains from both are very noticeable.

[@terryblakeslee6979]

Great video ! Thank you. Where did you get that tool kit?. My 2009 RT3 doesn't have one of those.

[@exlynxjock]

It was standard , with bike when new

[@perryrhodantheonly]

I ve had the same idea😅 and luckily a good guy in my store helped to realize… we build a real ram air on our own. It’s strange to follow the idea what’s inside triumph to create the path for air, it’s not only the long way… more astonishing is.. the air will get realy warm before entering the engine, cause of the path over the exhaust..

[@perryrhodantheonly]

I will share you some photos if you are intrested in.. and although my results on dyno.. greetings from Germany

[@brianlumb7656]

Wayne, Great video. Where did you purchase the Ramair kit from? I am in the states and looking for a local dealer in the northeast but cannot find any. Thanks again for the video.

[@exlynxjock]

Brian Lumb I ordered it direct from ramair online

[@Dumptheclutchevo]

Brian Lumb I just got one delivered here in TX, I ordered it from their eBay page, and got it 20% cheaper as you don't have to pay tax on it…I just 'Made Offer' and they accepted…very quick, fast shipping…about to go install it in a few minutes…

[@sakiloki4618]

Going to order the kit, however, I am stupid when it comes to this, does it have to be sent in for a tune up?

[@exlynxjock]

Rocket Man yes it will require a re tune. You can get the dealer to do it or you can simply upload a new fuel map your self using a lap top and a program called tune ecu which is available FREE to down load. The only extra you need purchased is the lead that connects the lap top from usb to the diagnostic port on the bike. Check out the rocket forums online. There are plenty of proffessionaly modified dyno tunes to choose from.

[@him91360]

Did you see any point in removing the secondaries butterfly plates while there? Beneifts>

[@exlynxjock]

None what so ever, if you want them open all the time, use tune ECU, and set them 100% open at all throttle and RPM settings in every gear, takes two mins and can be reversed any time you like.

[@jasonpeters9484]

So the only tune you need is the twelve minute tune, done twice? If so I'm doing this soon. I have the filter but no tune ecu or pc5.

[@hogweed1963]

you will need a tune or risk running lean.

[@exlynxjock]

Jason Peters 12 min tune will work fine. You need a new fuel map if you also upgrade the exhaust as I did.

[@jeremyholm2088]

wayne northam is the dealer able to remap the fuel system or is a pc5 required

[@safelyanonymous5717]

very good video; since this kit is only about 140 dollars i will just gladly pay the dealership to this upgrade- question, where did you get your windshield that is exactly what i am looking for.

[@cass121248]

That's a $600 windshield. I saved mine when I changed to a fairing and windshield. $200, text me, five one two- 5 seven 6- 77 three 7.

[@jbos69]

Instalei na minha moto obrigado Wayne! Excelente tutorial!

[@sakiloki4618]

What is the upgraded exhaust system you are going to use?

[@exlynxjock]

Rocket Man I have installed the Carpenter Racing side winder

[@38721078]

Where did you buy that white stripes ?

[@Dumptheclutchevo]

great video wayne northam - i was going to video my installation today but I think you got it all covered sir! This is gonna sound like spam, but it ain't…Not sure if you're aware, but you can download this free software called TuneECU to remap your Rocket…I did mine (have the TOR pipes) and changed a couple of things (opened up the secondaries in the first three gears - which I don't think you'd need as you have a newer one than my 2012), raised the rev limit, and speed limiter, adjusted the speedo so it's accurate to GPS - well worth it if you have a Windows PC to run it from, and a cheap $10 USB to OBDII cable.

[@brianlumb7656]

evo moto Evo, I am thinking of going the TuneECU route as well on my 07 Rocket. Do you have a link to where I can get the correct cable? I have a TuneBoy cable for my now gone Sprint ST 1050, but I don't feel like giving them $150 just to add a vin number for the new bike for the software, especially considering that Tune ECU is free. Just picked up new TORS for my Rocket and will soon have the K&N or Ramair filter kit too. Thanks.

[@Dumptheclutchevo]

Brian Lumb Nice dude! I'd definitely recommend the RamAir, fantastic product at a good price too.As for the OBDII cable, check out this thread by the legendary Decosse… www.triumphrat.net/ecm-and-fi-tuning-help-tips-and-tricks/217097-tuneecu-cable-caution.html He knows his shit I did find these that should work, can't remember exactly which mine is, just a cheap eBay china one, but check these out: www.amazon.com/Cable-Triumph-Motorcycle-TuneECU-Program/dp/B003ZKKMLE www.ebay.com/itm/FTDI-FT232RL-VAG-COM-KKL-409-1-OBD2-K-Line-KWP2000-ISO9141-USB-FOR-VW-AUDI-/281312477303?hash=item417f87c077&item=281312477303&vxp=mtr www.ebay.com/itm/VAG-COM-USB-Cable-OBD-II-2-FTDI-KKL-409-1-VW-Audi-VCDS-KTM-Triumph-TuneECU-BMW-/301504092069?hash=item46330b57a5&item=301504092069&vxp=mtr

[@gianmarcovit7103]

a really nice sound! you could redo the comparison 0-60 / 50-80 mph as in your previous videos? improved thrust at low speed? Sorry for any translation errors thanks

[@exlynxjock]

Will do.

[@gianmarcovit7103]

wayne northam Thank you await with trepidation, your bike apart from the filter is all original, or has some mechanical changes? Thanks to early

[@exlynxjock]

Gianmarco Vit all original at the moment apart from the ram air system.

[@ianstewart3550]

+wayne northam ,,, Dont know why people are saying use the standard jubilee clips , that is just asking for trouble as they are far to tight and dont free off enough , so you could damage the ramair , just make sure that left side goes home properly and dont tighten to much ,, im throwing an engine management light after fixing , is that normal and needs a few starts or shop reset

[@JulianFreeman-starsofwellbeing]

Hi, How was the bike running on the Ramair filter, but with the rest of the bike still standard? are there any gotchas and whats the upside of fitting this kit? Thx

[@exlynxjock]

Julian Freeman bike runs great

[@tomastoral8976]

Wayne, Where did you get your bear claw? Or did you just painted it black

[@exlynxjock]

+Tomas Toral that is the original bear claw, I just cut it down with a dremel. smoothed off the edges and spray painted it.

[@kyubre]

Well done, thank you!

[@ninjadadPrime]

Do you have an update with the new exhaust and PC5?

[@exlynxjock]

Not yet, I have got a carpenter racing side winder exhaust fitted, and a prety aggressive tune down loaded from a member of the triumph rocket 111 forum. I have not dynoed the bike, but I can tell you it's fucking fast, and sounds awesome, people think a v8 muscle car is pulling up behind them lol.

[@exlynxjock]

I now have the Carpenter, and power commander 5 fiited, while new monster. Incredible difference to stock power.

[@sxq9790]

Awesome I'm doing it then the exaust headers power commander ported head cams clutch quick shifter 🤔👌

[@russellcupples2170]

Thank you so much .

[@hogweed1963]

Had two filters split and had them replaced by Ramair and didnt over tighten but they wouldnt stay on ,i then sold it on as it pissed me off and returned to standard with an underseat K&N. Why they didnt make the filter have a lip on the rubber like the standard plenum has a lip where it fits on the TB i will never know!

[@exlynxjock]

hogweed scott Had a similar issue, yes its strange there are no lips in the flange, I used the original Triumph clamps instead of the ones supplied. it seems to have worked for me.

[@hogweed1963]

wayne northam I wonder how many they've had to replace or how many are split and the owners dont know and still running their bikes?

[@exlynxjock]

hogweed scott mine been on two years now. New rubber is great, no splitting, and the new design with a groove in them fits throttle body perfectly, so no slipping off either. Ram air did an element job addressing the issues, and the customer support was second to none.

[@Bandit1one]

[@candymintz]

good video...thanks

[@stevenpenny5477]

hey good job now what u need to do is remove the governor butterfly in all 3 injection stacks . just pull them out and run like u did and the engine management light will go out and when u twist the throttle everybody is at home straight away I did this and also split the cat converter and removed all the guts so its hollow and also removed every thing inside the mufflers I have no power commander just got triumph to install the baddest tune they have it may be me but if I nuts mine from the lights I start to black out . ha ha and under my belt is shit loads of Harley's

[@exlynxjock]

Steven Penny no need to remove secondaries, simply go into ECU, using the tune ECU program and select or set secondary throttles to be open at all speeds and throttle settings and in all gears. They then remain fully open at all times.

[@Leftycraig48]

And remember. . . DON'T TOUCH THE DAMN THROTTLE!!!!!

[@turtlepowersf]

Is the autotune procedure necessary if I first upload an aftermarket tune via tuneecu?

[@Leftycraig48]

@@turtlepowersf I've heard recently that tuneecu is no longer available. Don't know.

[@pascalou13200]

merci beaucoup

[@guglielmodicarlo4139]

I have to disagree with your explanation as to why the bike will rev free now, with the elimination of the duct work for the air cleaner, of course, if your going to do all the other modifications , like the power commander etc, you may have an increase, however on a stock motorcycle which most of us have, the air duct work is calculated in , as the engineers I think know what their doing,,, I like keeping my bike stock, unless I plan on drag racing it,, cant see spending more money on changing what the engineers did, to gain????? what,, factory 140 hp was not enough??? lol, hey to each his own, what do I know,, but good job of a video if your looking to do this,, me its fast and fine enough the way it is
