HI Guys, Im from South Africa, was looking for a forum to gather and contribute knowledge on all things Triumph related. Im getting a Daytona 675 2008 model this weekend. i have heard alot of good reviews about this bike which made me choose it as my second bike. Looking forward to the wealth of knowledge here. Anything in particular that i should be worried about with the new bike. (besides the stator that might need to be replaced, already spoke to a dealership here which said they willing to inspect if it needs to be replaced or already has been ) Will be doing an oil change, radiator flush and general clean and detail of bike once i get it, includes cleaning and lubing of chain. Anything else you guys can recommend?
thnaks for the warm welcome. My initial thought was to get the whole bike dipped in Mat black, but decided against it as its blue in color, and there arent many of those colors here in SA. it looks pretty unique for now
Blue is best!! Welcome in, did the garden route a few years ago, in a car unfortunately, but some great roads, Been to Pretoria and if my memory serves, there's some nice country to the nth east of you.
Thanks mate, yeah that is correct some beautiful roads here but also some potholes and jerk offs looking forward to my sunday rides
Hi Niven, welcome in and congrats on the new bike. If you are looking for a sound dealership to carry out any maintenance I can highly recommend Nick at Traditional Triumph in Edenvale. Cheers and enjoy the new bike
Hi Angus, thank you for the referral, i can honestly say that Nick is one very helpful guy in both knowledge and experience, ran into a few issues when i was doing an oil change, Nick was more than happy to assist and provide helpful insight into my blunder
