Hi All, Have a 2011 Triple for 3 yrs and hardly used it - not really bonded as yet so looking to get some miles on the beast this season and see if I cant enjoy the damned thing - got a few extras on it (previous owner raided the Triumph parts bin) pic attached
That is a beauty,needs a good ragging,lol. Soon be the warmer weather,no excuse then.Good luck,oh, and welcome
Hi and welcome to the forum, that is a great looking Speed Triple you have there. Had one of those for 18 months putting 13000 miles on it and loved it. Need to find some empty roads in Wales or Scotland and find out what she can really do.
Thanks for all the welcomes guys ... The paint SteveJ is a one off gloss version of the Street III matt grey done by the original owner (he worked for Triumph). I have since made a complete colour change and fitted a 3-1 SP Engineering zorst which I much prefer to the twin Arrows set up. I have also splashed out on a Nitron Sport rear shock as I was getting bounced out of the seat all the bloomin time and couldnt set up the original shock to my satisfaction. Now the forks need doing and I believe the best way forward is a revalve ?? I will get there eventually ..... safe riding all ....
I've also just purchased a nitron shock for my 2009 1050 ST And had the suspention set up and this has completely transformed the handerling I'm also Thinking of having a revalve on my front forks but that will have to wait until finances allow So get that shock sorted and put some miles on that puppy
There is a company called K-Tech based in leics that do fork revalve - (they would set up your rear shock if you wanted as well) - a lot of manx road racers use them . They make an appointment , come & pick up the stuff from your house , do what needs doing & then return them . They are able to set the suspension up off the bike , according to your weight & type of usage requirements
