Happy new year Trophy owners, After a few weeks looking on ebay and other websites for cheap spare parts, I changed my plan. I finaly brought a second bike, a...
Hi Julien, I also bought a wrecked bike from EBay 2 years ago. The front end was ruined. Forks, wheel, radiator, oil cooler, headers and of course most of the...
Hi all, Can anybody advise on were to obtain a head gasket set for a 1200 triumph trophy (not the thin one) at a respectable price. Thanx in advance Stu...
Hi Stu, Triumph dealer, or Bike Bandit has them. $55. Is that a respectable price? I don't know what you mean by (not the thin one). Greg Andrews '95 900...
When I bought my bike last year it came with the stock seat, a Triumph gel, and a Russell Daylong. The bike only had 9k miles on it. I used the gelseat a...
They make a good point against helmets though.... You wouldn't want anyone putting the hoodoo voodoo on you, would you? Maybe a tinfoil lid liner would help :)...
Greetings all, Happy '09! My '00 900's steering head bearings are detented and need to be swapped. Any tips after I get done with step one which appears to be...
Joe, I've not done the Trophy head bearings before, but have done a number of other bikes. I cannot imagine the Trophy will be any different to the tried and...
Just wondering if anyone has done a throttle cable job on their bike. Reading the manual; it says to pull the tank, (no big deal) and the carbs, (bigger deal)....
I've done it on my 1200, and it is a very fiddly job but it is not difficult. Needle nose pliers and my wife's small hands helped. The job is fiddly on the...
Yes - I'll second what Martin says. On the 900 I found it easier to slide out the carbs with the throttle and choke cables still attached and then work on...
Hi ecw737, Pulling the carbs isn't too bad. Take some pictures on how the cable is routed under the tank and through the steering head. First disconnect the...
Thanks everyone for the encouragement! Once I get the cable; (It's in the mail) - I guess I'll try to do it; I have no trouble on my bicycles, so maybe... ...
Hi again - can't advise on lubrication but the air box mod certainly is shown in the files section - called, er....Air Box Mod. That lower centre screw is...
I've only had my Trophy for 5 minutes, well it seems like that! In fact since September, and it's been WONDERFUL. Now over the Christmas I've only needed to be...
If you know you have a good battrey you may need a battery tender. I am in Florida so cold here is not actually cold, merely cool. However, I was getting...
Mine's unfortunately been stood up since before christmas (thats when the ice set in here). However thought i'd check her over last night. stood for 3-4 weeks....
Hi guy's, I've asked before but now I'm desperate. I've bought and returned 4 sets of forks for my 1994 Sprint 900, due to them all being pitted. Even when the...
Hey Paul, This is a bit off the topic, but since you're having battery problems, I thought I would mention it. You likely need a good new battery, and many of...
Hi guys, and happy new year to you all J My Trophy 900 still needs a coolant change, since it's probably been in there for too many years, so thought i'd give...
Poppa, It was kentcorrespondent10 that was having starting issues - my batts only a year old, and don't have any problems with starting the bike - As I said I...
Afraid you're going to have to take the left side fairing and belly pan. It will make the job easier in the long run. I don't know about the 900, but the 1200...
Hi Guys, Well, after mine has stood over the Winter it always takes a long time to start, no battery issue, just a long time to start the first time. Keith...
My '01 900 requires a different cold start procedure for every different 10-degree (farenheit) range. Never seen such a finicky cold-starting bike. I have all...
Hi Kent, Yes its normal but there is a way to get around the hard starting. If the bike has sat for some time the fuel level in the float bowls are probably...
