Featured What you been doing with your TRIUMPH today??

Fitted some gaiters I got as a Father’s Day present and made some covers for the top forks for a few £s unlike the cost of buying some on line for well over the top money. Pleased with the look.

Went for ride around Dorset,today,dry but windy

 

I sold my street triple RS today, it was a lovely bike but I suffered a broken nerve in my shoulder not long after buying it which made riding this style of bike uncomfortable , I’ve still got my scrambler so not without a bike, I sold the RS in under 24 hours on eBay with a classified add.

 

I've no response to that mate, it's a shame it had to go.

 

Hi Ron,
You could try longer rear shock absorbers ,10mm on mine , put stiffer springs or some longer spacers in your front forks , and then dropping your front end 18~25 mm.
This speeds up turn in response and tightens turn in .

cheers capt

 

That’s the reason I got rid of my 09 Speedmaster the handling was shite
It can be greatly improved with Avon tyres and better rear shocks but it’s not a good handler especially at lower speed manoeuvre’s

 

Finally got round to replacing the brake and clutch fluid on my Trophy. Why oh why triumph must I remove the rack, rear bodywork and one side of the air box assembly just to get access to the rear brake reservoir.... at least it's not an annual job...

 

I just use a syringe , to drain and fill the reservoir . Only hard part left to do is removing the cap ! That takes a bit of effort !! But I don't remove anything else , just take out the front mounting screws for the side panel to give me room to get at the cap !

 

Thanks for the advice. I did try your way first but my fat fingers just couldn't manage to get the cap off....

 

Just booked CERBERUS in for his first service
Getting done on the 15th so if the GMU goes ahead on the 16th I’ll be good to go

 

Yeah, I'm crap at playing the guitar and I blame those digits for that as well...
Nowt compared to your trials though. I've been following them and I do hope the alternator and new ignition switch fix all the bikes faults. Good luck.

 

Is she running well @Havit ?

 

Had a ride out today with the Fossil Riders to the Park Pavilion in Melton Mowbray, 9 bikes and a couple of slightly infirm members in sports cars. Café has a take away menu, and we dodged most of the showers so a good day. If the weather improves we may go further next week. ( Fossil Riders should be self explanatory, most of us are well retired and the motto is Adventure before Dementia.)

 

My Street Triple had been running poorly recently, then I realised it was possibly due to the fact I changed back to standard silencers from TORS, and had not remapped. So tonight I attempted my first remap using TuneECU, all seemed to go well until I tried to start the bike, pressed the starter and nothing ...after a few minutes of abject panic, I realised I was trying to start without using the clutch lever - What a twat!

I'll hopefully discover tomorrow if the remap has sorted the problem.

 

Good to hear mate.

 

She's a beauty Ron, so glad you listened to my advice

 

Wow mate!
I thought you was all loved up with that Speedmaster as it was so comfortable? Even flirting with the idea of selling Scarlet , so why the change of heart mate?
