Speed Twin 900 For Newbie

For the bike the brakes are good enough. Pads make a great difference. Its a nice reliable machine. You will find out yourself. Just take it easy till you and the machine gel,

 

Hi there!
Welcome to the forum!
Enjoy your great bike!

 

Good choice.
You’re right about the front brake. It’s adequate but lacks bite. If you’re used to sharp modern brakes, it’ll feel a bit wooden at first. Easy upgrade down the line if it bothers you.
Otherwise, they’re solid. At 2,300 miles it’s barely run in. Just check the usual: service history (even if just the first one), chain condition, and make sure there’s no weird clutch slip when you test ride.
Other than that, just enjoy it. Great first Triumph.

 

Try EBC 'HH' sintered brake pads.

Fitted them to my 2017 single front disc brake Bonnie T100 and transformed braking from borderline dangerous to good..

The EBC's take a while to bed in.

Beware of fakes on ebay etc, buy from a trusted source.
