    Hi all just to say on a speed tripple S 2018 now , after years of sportsbikes and track days , only put 300 miles on as only got at end of season but rode my mates RS and loved it, just put an Ohlins shock on got off flea bay as std one felt really bad no dampening at all, has anyone got a sequence or diagram which way those washers go on the rear wheel as never took notice and what is the torque setting on the nut Thanks in advance cheers all.

    Thin washer first then the tapered one, flat side next to the thin washer, if that makes sense. 146nm torque.

    Hi Jimmy, welcome to the best Triumph forum on't net. :)

    Photos.. At the bottom of the reply panel, see where it says upload a file? Next to "post reply".as per attached image.. Screenshot_2019-01-06-19-20-40(1).png (hahh.. Spot my spelling mistake... Posy image. Carrot fingers)
    Click that and you get the option to browse your hard drive for images. Choose the one you want and the forum software should upload it for you, even resize it. It goes faster you resize it for yourself first though. Put the cursor where you want the image, and then click on full image. It will insert the image where your cursor is, either in it he text like above, or at tge bottom of the post.

    Look forward to seeing your photies!

    Yup, that's a tidy bike. :)

    Can you get something back for the shocker, as it's new? Under warranty even. . Or is it worth the hassle?

    not worth the hassle Sandy, they go on ebay about £50, got a cracking deal on bike as was in showroom, thats why i never went for the RS, so with the ohlins on now will be sorted mate, and tbh a like the look of the black cans against the arrows titanium ones just sets the back off against the white , well thats my thinking
