    Hi chaps, I live in France in the mid west and I'm one of those old fossils, 62, who has made a bit of a comeback to motorcycling after 35 years and bought an old honda in 2014 to help get me restarted. I now have amongst others a 2003 speed triple, that has recently fallen ill.
    I think I must have had a bit of a mid life crisis as after the honda, I went on to buy a new Bonneville and then changed that for a Tiger, then realised that I had spent too much cash and so sold that and bought a 42 year old R60. Then the speed twin and then an ST3 which actually I'm trying to sell.
    Anyway, don't know if anyone can shed any light on the speed twin.
    It was running a bit rough
    Sometimes only on two cyclinders and then three intermittently.
    I heard something about resetting the ECU but well , now it won't start at all. Could be coils or it could be......anyone?
    Pat.

    So you got a speed twin with three cylinders. Something went wrong there. I though twin meant two. That will be worth some money a three cylindered twin. But welcome to the family.
    Regards & Ride Safe
    Joe.
