675 Just bought a used Street Triple, is this normal?

Hi Paul, welcome in, that looks like a puncture repair to me, I've had no experience of these and not sure if it is the sort done by the previous owner with a kit or at a proper shop. I would be surprised if it should stick out so much. I'd take it to a motorcycle tyre place and check it out. Apart from the rider the tyres are the only thing between you and a scrape down the road so it's good to be sure. Good luck

 

That's not normal and as crispey says it looks like a plug repair, but it should not stick out like that. Get it checked out before you go too far.
Welcome to the forum by the way.

 

As others have said it's just a puncture repair plug. Quite normal, just needs trimming flat.

Just bear in mind that the tyre has now lost it's 100% integrity,maybe don't rag it tooooo much.

 

That's the idea Paul, we lull you in, then BAM!!!!! You are addicted to Triumph motorcycles for life.

 

Hi and welcome to the forum. Your right this is a friendly form, unusual from my experience of similar forums.

 

Its cos most of em are old farts with nothing better to do when they can't get out on the bikes!!
