Featured What you been doing with your TRIUMPH today??

Battery is the original so circa June 2023. How many times it's been depleted though, I don't know. I bought the bike last year with 3K on the clock but it was delivered with a weak battery and loose terminals and failed to start the day after the courier had dropped it off. I put that down to loose terminals but it could be that it had been depleted enough to reduce it's overall capacity.I suspect that it needs to be on 99% tospin up that big engine.

 

I have an Optimiser tender. It's been on that thoughout the winter, albeit off the bike in rotation with the two batteries from my other bikes.
The Optimiser said it was at full charge after an hour of being an charge today but I'm questioning whether it can still reach full charge.

 

Same, getting ready for ole speedway boys ride tomorrow, when realized that the reason it was shitty in the rough bends in the hills last time was probably, er ...... several pounds to much in the front .. yes, we should it !

Must have transposed the figure in the manual somehow ?

 

Took it in for a service and a few bits of broken plastic bodywork replacing. Bought a new Triumph tee shirt too as it was in the sale. Then the longer way home. It’s ready to go now.

 

Today I rode to my dealer with my Rocket to change a "drowned" turn signal by a warranty repair from Triumph. It took me only a phone call and sending a photo to my dealer and after a few days I was invited to show up for the exchange at my dealer. My dealer did not had any problems with Triumph to get the needed parts for free for me. During my "hard rain tour" in late February it drowned due to a hairline crack in the housing.
While the 20 minutes "pit stop" I had nice talks with some other bikers.
As always I had to ride a distance of 200 kilometres through a great landscape of the Pre-Alps.
Now everything is in perfect condition again!

At the ride for the 1.000 km service the turn signal obviously "drowned".


On the next day after some cleaning I found the drowned turn signal.

 

Glad you got it sorted with no hassle, just as it should be too.

I've found a mapping option to try so getting closer to putting on the pipe. TuneECU is quite the program.

 

Ask your local tyre supplier but if the tyre is 'Z' rated the recommendations are that they are not repairable.

 

A shortish ride this afternoon. Anyone care to guess where?

 

In Sandbach there is F and B Motorcycle Tyres. I have used them and have always found them competitive, friendly and good service.

 

Z rated tyres can be repaired, they recommend only once and as long as it is small and in the centre of the tyre such as yours so should be ok

 

Only place I know locally is Bikerz in Hanley. Don't put any glue/slime in the tyre as that will make it unrepairable.

 

Thanks for sharing those.
I'm currently away so viewing on my phone isn't great, but saved them for later viewing on a large monitor.
Cheers.

Well done. Nice ride to it from Hawes.

 

On the day that I rode my new tiger 900 home from the dealer I picked a a three inch bolt.
RAC man tried to repair it, it failed. I took the bike to F&B who also tried to repair it, that also failed. I ended up with a new tyre. Pissed off that the brand new tyre on the bike had only done circa 40 miles. He definitely will do a repair.

 

I did a 330 km ride with my Rocket for some business activities in the city of Salzburg. The weather was dry but not really nice. Lots of stormy wind and most of the time very cloudy and about 12-13 degree celsius. Tomorrow at lunch time I will do my ride back home again. The weather forecast looks much nicer too!

 

Today I started my tour back home in nice weather like it was forecasted. BUT: The forecast missed a hard rain, which accompanied me the last hour of my ride.
Therefore I "dived" with my black "2-wheel submarine" over the highway. Tomorrow I will spend some time to get my Rocket clean again.

 

The worst part of ownership...the cleaning!!
