Featured What you been doing with your TRIUMPH today??

Free eggs!!

 

It just turned up one day and adopted me

 

This happens more than you think ! We had a chicken adopt us for a year, called her Keith, lived on top of an old Skoda Rapid convertible I owned. Unfortunately got eaten by a fox

 

I see your chicken and raise you a cat. ( bike runs purrrrfect in case you were wondering)

 

What size are the eggs, 125 or 175?

 

Sorry your cat is only worth a kitten, it's on a KTM , now had it been on a tiger.....

 

Very good Crispey

 

Lol

 

I had a Bantam once, a 1960's BSA one that that we used for thrashing round a local farmers field

 

didnt everyone either own or had a mate who let ya go on ,his good old bantam

 

Ah happy days

 

Messed around with tuneecu, checking throttle bodies both good running at 370/380, only problem is when I disconnected everything and tried to run bike nothing, 13.7 on battery, full fuel, engine switch normal, side stand down turn key fuel pump runs press starter nothing. Lights all work, Checked fuses all good baffled, waiting until tomoz have another look. Any ideas would be most welcome.

 

It's not the handlebar cut-out switch is it?

 

Hi Dave thanks for the comment, no that was one of the things I thought, same as lights for if the fuse missing or dead is also another thing that would give the same indication. Oh well plod on and keep checking things. Will keep all informed with any progress.

 

You didn't just unplug did you? That could cause a prob. Your headlight is working? I had intermittent contact on fuse so gave me false readings as fuse was making continuity sometimes. Didn't knock idle speed down to zero on tuneecu?

 

Well lads my fault entirely had the bike up on the bike stand with the side stand down, and when I had been messing must of put the bike in gear, more than likely with the bike cover as I did not take it right off (being lazy) anyway went back out to it this morning and tried again and noticed the neutral light not lit and found my mistake, bike running great again now. I deserve a good slap. Cheers for your input, one to remember.

 

2 virtual slap ! Alfie, you daft bugger !!!!

Glad you got it sorted

 

duuuuur

 

Reminds me of the time I spent half an hour at 11pm, leaving time at work, trying to get my bike to go so I could head the 20 miles home.... Tried everything, worried the rain had killed my electrics (Only been riding a few months, panic wasn't too slow getting there!)

Called my old man, ran through everything I tried. He suggested more, nothing did it..
Then I looked to where I put my helmet (Typically sat near the killswitch)
And.. yea.
"Sorry dad, it's going now I'm heading home. Cup of tea, please"

Been fighting a lack of pressure in the front brake. Free up the cylinder, squeeze out the air, bleed some more, pressure builds up, fluid moved faster than anticipated, pumped air back in from an empty cylinder before I think of checking the level..
*Doh*

 

Did the brake fluid trick last week
