I've just bought a (used) 2022 Street Twin 900
I was slightly disappointed to see that apparently it does not have a tachometer (?!)
Although I haven't taken delivery of mine yet, I thought I would do some research and look at the Owner's Handbook online ...
The Handbook makes reference to a Tachometer on page 39, but ...
There is no mention of how to display it - i.e. 'scroll' the display to get it ...
Obviously until I have her in my garage, I can't play about to...

Been riding Hondas for decades and finally pulled the trigger on my first Brit bike, a gorgeous '72 Daytona with 1,500 total miles on it. Should arrive in a few weeks. Seller has provided videos showing great sound, good shifting throughout, seems to run really nicely. Can't wait for it to show up.

I'm no mechanic. I'd love any advice on first steps once it arrives. Would love advice on websites or books that can help me get up to speed on my new baby. Plan is to...

Have just rebuilt my Triton. It’s a 1960 T110 pre-unit engine in a 1965 Norton featherbed frame. It’s a collection of bits woven together, sometime hammered, to make one offs!! It’s a labour of love that never appears to be finished, according to the other half. Do have a couple of question, but thought it polite to introduce myself first.

Synchronised my 2 concentric carbs the other day and all was well for a while. Then started misfiring and actually ended up only firing on one pot! Obviously I had not done such a good job! So decided to do them again by following "Bushmans" method. Short story is that when I adjusted the cables so the slides appeared at the same time (from fully open), one cable adjuster was at max and the other on minimum! More importantly, when fully closed,...

I've rebuilt the 1972 T120V engine with 750 Barrels and a Tiger's head.
Nice 2inch stainless zorsts that should keep the mobile phone users from stepping into the road.
New built wheels with Italian 3 inch rear rim and 2.5 inch front.

I'm new to this forum, but hoping someone can assist me with my issue of high oil pressure inside the in-frame oil tank on my 1973 Triumph Tiger. I have replaced the oil pressure regulator, cleaned out the oil filter, blown out all the oil lines and the crank case breather, but I still have a significant oil pressure problem in the in-frame oil tank. The bike runs fine, but when I take off the oil filler cap, oil gushes out the oil tank filler hole. I'm at a loss to sort out...
