A bit about me I suppose had bikes since 7 years old.I ride trials bike vintage and modern and earlier this year acquired a 2005 speed triple after borrowing a 675 street.what can I say other than what a fantastic bike had problems with the sprag which appears to be common but managed fix that by fitting one from a Suzuki.and upgraded power cables.thats should be enough about me more important tho is my bike the kids call bumblebee

Hello Flashash and welcome to the Triumph Asylum - by now you'll know why it's called that I'm interested to learn more about your modification to the cables, if you have the time?
Welcome fellow s3 owner. Mines the wasp. Great forum this...some very helpy types. Sounds like you'll be one of em. ATB Bob
Hi flashash and welcome to a very helpful forum. I'm a scrambler owner but looking to change to a speed triple so its nice to learn from you guys that already have em as to what to look out for.
Good morning sure no problem the problem I found was during cranking the battery power dip was excessive this also contributes to the failing of the sprag if the battery is low the cranking speed is also lower.what I have done is made new cables that are essentially bigger this then allows more current and improves cranking I can make the cables up if required I replaced the main earth battery positive to starter solenoid and then from solenoid to starter
