    Firstly, I am not a bike rider. I purchased a 2010 Triumph Bonneville T100 for my son about 18 months ago. After about one year it developed a starting fault. It has been with the Triumph specialist in Ashford for some 6 months, they have replaced the computer (£700) and still the bike won't start; they have now given up on it. I shall be taking ownership of the bike in order to get the bike going again and will be seeking the knowledge of the forum members to achieve that goal.
    Standbye...

    Hi Golfboy32 :cool: I'm guessing they're not very good specialists if they've given up on it :rolleyes:

    when the "specialists" can't figure out a no-start, you have to wonder where they got their training. best of luck.

    Welcome in matey. You may get more replies if you post in technical section, or the bonneville section. Not everyone looks at newbies but we all try to help if and when we can.
