    My 2024 Street Triple RS is coming up for its 1st annual service. The bike was first registered exactly a year ago and had the initial (600 mile?) service in September last year. I bought the bike 2nd hand in October. By my reckoning, the dreaded yellow spanner light will make an appearance in about 6 weeks time, I'm well below the other servicing criterion ~ 6000 miles. In the past I've done all my own servicing and I was able to reset the service light on my '17 plate STRS using dealer tool software. I'm told that won't work on the post 2023 model Street Triples and I even spoke to dealer tool about this a few months ago. At that time they didn't have a package they could offer which reset the later bikes. I think that's still the case. I spoke to my nearest Triumph main dealership this morning asking for a price to reset the light. They said they wouldn't do it unless they undertook the servicing themselves. So it looks like I'm locked in to having them do the work which pi**es me off tbh. Is anyone with a late model bike having the same issues? I'm assuming its all or most post 2023 models of Triumph that have this 'locked in' feature?

    There are some good independent motorcycle workshops who should be able to turn that annoying spanner off for you. For example Paradise Garage in Downham Market used to do it for me some years ago before I got Dealertool. I do my own servicing but use Paradise Garage for tyre changes and MOT's. Highly recommended garage by the way for anyone local (they deal with both bikes and cars with a dedicated motorcycle mechanic who has an extensive knowledge of Triumphs).

    I'm not sure that's the case, but I'd be happy to be proved wrong. Don't forget I'm talking about post '23 plate bikes, I know the earlier ones can be sorted with over the counter software. I've already had the bike to an independent dealer who told me I'm not the first one to contact him with this issue. A friend has a '24 plate Speed Triple 1200 and he wanted his bike 'remapped' to suit an aftermarket exhaust and apparently it couldn't be done. My own bike has a speed cap of 145 mph. Absolutely fine for the road of course, but if you are into serious track day riding, litre bikes will breeze past on the straights at many circuits. It must be possible however as Pete Hickman's Trooper Triumph 765 is a shed load faster than that. Presumably he has access to Triumphs inner sanctum??
