    Hey guys,

    I have a 2017 Triumph Scrambler. Will post pic later. It turns out that Triumph added a liquid coolant system to Scrambler in 2017. Mine doesnt have one. I cannot get a hold of seller to ask why he removed it. Does anybody know why someone would be inclined to remove it...are there benefits etc? Are there any negatives to removal? I rode it up from LA to SF without any issues and drive it around town alot. I just figured it was a air cooled system only. Any thoughts or advice would be greatly appreciated.

    Alejandro

    Whilst being a Brit, I was calculating the other day that I have been to San Francisco more than 40 times in my career.

    This must mean I am a murderer of polar bears but maybe kept the purveyors of clam chowder in business (plus got loads of air miles for those runs to other USA cities). I was accosted by a passport checking person more than once asking why I visited so much. I just said I wish I didn’t have to. I think it all equals out in the end.

    I gave up a free trip to Hawaii for a holiday (business jolly) as I’d spent weeks flying to the US and back and could be bothered. Am now regretting it!!! Why didn’t I go!!!!

    Greetings and welcome to the forum, Alejandro! Enjoy that Scrambler and I hope you get the coolant system issues sorted. Looking forward to seeing a photo or two of your bike. I lived in Oakland and worked in Berkley for a couple of years long ago and still have great memories of the Bay Area. Hope you enjoy the forum!

    Hey Guys,

    On another thread I was told to check manufacture date. Apparently there is a cutoff, not sure how it works, but my bike was manufactured on 6/16, & I guess that makes it a 2016 even though its sold as a 2017. 2016 does not have the liquid cooling.
