I rode off to work this morning and on turning left it seemed that my indicator developed a bit of a kind of its own. The left indicator light on the instrument panel stayed on and the indicator itself was flickering faintly. When Indicate to turn left the light flashes fully as it should. Then once I cancel the indicator it goes back to flickering. The right hand signally works as it should. Triumphbhave suggested that I book it in to go on the diagnostic malarkey and...

Also would 3/8" drive be best too?

So here we go it requires some TLC though it's low mileage at 19,005 on picking it up it's now got another 36km on it from the ride home and that was a little adventure on it's own as it seems that the carbs need a bit of a clean and rebuild it will not run unless the "Choke Knob" is pulled out a it which is not right. Not an uncommon problem on bikes...

A random (possibly just me and not the bike) query. I have the 2024 Street Triple 765RS, and I don't know if anybody else suffers with it, but the side stand causes me light frustration and confusion.

My foot can never naturally find it, my eyes can't see it, so it's often a guessing game as to how long it takes me to kick it down. Also a bit stiff kicking it up too. And heaven help if there's so much as a mm of drop in the ground where I park, it feels like the bike is going to go...

I've just had a letter from Triumph offering me a complimentary second year of Triumph Assist, providing I activate it using the code number they've given me. I'm sure other people have had the same offer.

'Go to: rac.co.uk/triumph2' it says. Which I did. But it doesn't seem to exist. Now it could be my incompetence of course, but it really...

I’m leaning towards Remus at the moment, and believe I’m right in thinking that they have the necessary stop for the centre stand fitted as standard. Confirmation of that would be appreciated, along with any other suggestions (again, I’d like to keep the centre stand fitted, which I accept...

About a month ago I received an email about the Triumph Unleashed Winter Tour '26. Hoping there would be an event at our local dealership, I clicked. Sure enough, in Arizona there was one in Phoenix and one in Tucson! So I got Steve and me and our buddy, Russell, all signed up. I even convinced my yoga instructor, PJ, to go. PJ is new to Triumph motorcycles as he is a proud new owner of a 2023 Speed Twin 900. The Tucson event was this past Saturday from 5-7PM...
