    That is where Triumph dealers plug in their Data Logger Tool, you can use Tuneecu via this to change ecu setting's and fuel/ignition mapping etc.

    Looks like the data link 16 pin socket for diagnostic checks, shouldn't be attached to anything

    Round your way!
    Correct terminology is an OBD port.
    "On Board Diagnostics port."
    Basically it is door into the bikes ECU (Electronic Control Unit) or brain, useful for change parameters in the engines running, checking clearing faults etc!

    Also useful for the dealer to plug a laptop into, and fleecing you for lots of ££££££'s............ claiming its a black art, and only they can do it!
    :p:pYea Right;);)

    Just reading through this thread and I'm a bit late with the info now but when you were measuring the voltage on your battery the multimeter (in the picture) is set to the wrong range. You have it set to the 150mA setting and it should be on DC 15v with it connected across the battery as shown. I'm trying not to sound picky but it might help someone else if they look at the pictures and copy those settings. :) or maybe for next time..... lol

    Sorry, I'm not sure how to post a new Thread, but thought you might be able to help Crispey.


    So the other day I was riding my Triumph T100 (2017) and I ran out of fuel, I pushed the bike to my carspot and then next day put three litres of fuel in the tank.

    It didn't start, unfortunately now its not starting, I'm not sure if maybe the fuel line is dry or some how it ran out of battery ??

    I'm not great with bikes, usually I would get a mechanic in, but I thought there must be some smart people on here that could direct me. I love my triumph, but don't know my way around it.

    Are you able direct me to try some thing?

    Possibly both. You will have emptied pump and fuel lines. It will need a few seconds ignition on for the pump to recharge everything up to the injectors. If it does not then crank it is overwhelmingly likely your battery has fallen below minimum charge and the ECU says ‘do not play’.

    Wow that was fast! Thanks Callumity, what a champ! So sorry for the stupid question but how do I figure out which one it is, is there a particular light to look for? I tried turning it on and left for 5 minutes then when I turned the ignition it just would make the starting sound but not start the engine at all. Before I get someone to try jump start it, why would it have run out of battery, I didn't leave any lights on?

    By starting sound do you mean the solenoid click and pump whir or is it cranking?

    Almost certainly your battery needs charging. It may be on its last legs on a 2017 bike if it gets occasional use. A smart battery charger is a sound buy.

    The fuel pump is inside the tank and makes a barely audible sound.

    As above, make sure the battery is in good charged order, when you know it is turn ignition on and wait a little bit, you should hear a whining sort of noise as the fuel pump primes, if you do wait for that to stop then try turning her over, it might take a few tries to get the fuel through, make sure the “choke’ is fully out.
