    Hello, Bought a 2000 Daytona 955i Sep 2018 with 7600 miles on it, it already has a South Bay Carbon Fiber Undertail Exhaust Mod. LOUD and RASPY. It still had the Nov 1999 Tires on it.
    Swapped out to a new set of Metzlers. Changed oil, plugs, cleaned K&N, replaced chain and sprockets. Rode the bike and it started to idle rough, then died. Thanks to Sh*#! California gas and the bike sitting, I replaced fuel connectors, fuel pump, fuel filter, hoses, cleaned injectors and replaced O rings, cleaned throttle bodies and replaced IACV. Rode it a couple more times. Uncomfortable as hell. Replaced bars with Blackpath Risers billet clip on bars. A little more comfortable. Changed windscreen with Zero Gravity Double Bubble. Installed a G2 Throttle Tamer throttle tube, so much smoother.
    Between last October and this August the bike had issues. Fixed a connector and sealed the gas tank, it was leaking out of the screw hole on right side rear fairing mount. Now it has 7900 plus miles.
    My full time bike is a 2011 Yamaha FZ8 I bought new. It has 49,000 plus miles and I add about 48 miles a day.

    Welcome to the family. Nice bikes even if the Triumph seemed to be troublesome. But just think now you have a steed the way you want it and will love it even more.
    Regards & Ride Safe
