Featured Speedmaster '06 Speedmaster Impulse Buy.

Got one of these I picked up for "peanuts" 9 years ago. Reliable as a Timex watch. Only major thing I improved other than bells and whistles was a much improved front brake caliper. WAY better than anything Harley ever accidentally screwed together. ...J.D.

 

Congrats on your new-to-you Speedmaster, Golgotha! Looking forward to following your efforts to get it back to spec and hearing about how you (and the Mrs) like it.

 

10K? Barely broken in! Good luck with it.

 

That was a good decision! One look - in love - bought - happy. That's exactly how it should be! We all live only once (at least in my world!). I am looking forward to see the outcome of your technical skills.

 

Is that a crack in the casing?

 

Nice buy Golgotha I am pretty sure those plugs are used by the dealer when setting the bike up and tuning.

Technical Question Please.
I have just purchased a Triumph Speedster 2005. I have heard that there may be a fault with these twin engines around the clutch. I read a review about a number of Triumph bike engines, someone said the if you catch the starter clutch just right, it recoils and smacks into the case and brakes its mounting point, making the starter useless. The same person said that Triumph decided to warranty the bikes whether they had existing warranty or not. They also said they worked at a triumph franchise in USA and saw 6 other Triumph bikes that the same issue happened with. He said the only solution was to pull the motor out and and completely take it apart and replace the case with Triumph's new 'reinforced case'. Has anyone else heard of this issue?

Many Thanks Tom

 

Hi Tom,
Sorry I can't help with your query. But I think you would be better to start a new thread in the technical section for any answers. Your post is a bit buried in this section and unlikely to be seen by anyone who can help.
