Thruxton 1200 Clocks

Is the bike still under warranty? I think this was a known issue and triumph were replacing some

 

Yes - it's easy. If you want instructions go and look at the Arton Works web site. Arton make nice gauge dials and the instructions tell you how to get everything apart and back together. I did my dials - and it's not at all difficult.

 

Just fitted some Arton Works dials and had some new glass fitted.

 

Yes those clocks look nice. Try borrowing the wifes hair dryer to evaporate the condensation.

 

Hello, 'some new glass fitted'. Did you change the glass of the intruments? Where did you buy it? I read it is not possible to clean the glasses on the inside without damaging them?

 

Thanks!

 

Yeah was quite and extensive repair! Cut the old glass out, had some plexi glass discs made (£15) and some alloy spacers laser cut (£8).

 

Hello y'all,
I emailed Triumph Benelux yesterday to ask them if it was possible to dismantle the glass from the clocks to clean it without damaging. They answered me that there is no contraindication whatsoever to do that. However it is not recommended to use agressive cleaning products. But with a soft cloth and some clean water or breathing damp, it would be no problem at all.
So that answeres my question and solves my problem, and most of the others, I guess..

Hello there,
this is a WARNING! Today I tried to clean the inner side of the instrument glass of my Thruxton with a very soft cloth. I didn't put any pressure but.... there were rubbing marks! Seems like very soft plastic to me...

 

Jeezs, are new Triumphs made out of Jelly Beans?

 

Hi Hutch - where did you get your glass and spacers made if you don't mind me asking? I have a crack in my Speedo and don't fancy paying 500 for a new set of instruments from Triumph......

 

DO NOT try to clean the Thruxton (I hace a 2016) speedo glasses from the inside!!!!! There is some kind of a coating on them and even the slightest rub causes scratches!!
I asked Triump Benelux if I could do it, they said 'yes, no problem' but when I told them they were scratched they sent me a new set of glasses FOR FREE because apparently, they didn't know themselves! So my advice would be: ask Triumph and if they say 'go', you try to put the blame on them afterwards... Maybe it will work a few times...
