Don't the side stand and clutch cut out switches prevent the starter from getting juice? If so then they aren't your problem. Friend of mine had same...
My 98 will crank with the clutch pulled and the side stand down while in gear. But it will die as soon as the clutch is released with the stand down. ...
Hi: On my bike anyway the safety switch on the kickstand will stop the starter motor from cranking, so this is not likely the issue. Is it possible the battery...
Then the sensor in the kickstand is shot ..... .............................. The individual has always had to struggle to keep from being overwhelmed by the...
Push starting a bike makes no difference to the sensors. Absolutely if you are in gear with the side stand down it will not start, Push or button. The only way...
My experiences have been similar, I suggest charging the battery. Sometimes they just don't like to start with a battery that is not fully charged. I have...
... And my '99 will crank all day long, but it won't start until the sidestand is raised. Once the engine has started, you can put the stand back down and the...
I am having these days a strange behaviour in my TBS. It starts but during the first minutes it "coughs" when I am accelerating, making it hard to speed up (I...
Hi: Does giving it more choke when cold reduce it...... John .............................. The individual has always had to struggle to keep from being...
Hi John, I am starting with no need to choke (the bike sleeps in the garage). Javier ________________________________ De: John Shaw <horton@...> Para:...

My '99 TBS does well as long the temp is over about 60 degrees at night. She sleeps in the garage and the choke is critical if it's even mildly chilly. I live...
The accident rate has been going down as cell phone use has gone up so individual stories do not a true pattern make. People who do stupid things on the cell...
Yes. You have to modify the catch to get it to line up, but otherwise it works great. Most comfortable and stylish seat for the TBS out there, IMHO - ...
Well, thanks guys. It must be what you say. I own the TBS for two years now and before I was leaving the bike in a colder place at night, thus obliging me to...
Thanks for the info guys, I'probably go the corbin seat. I've seen the stock Thriumph solo seat on E bay, but the last one went for $460.00. late bob...
I am cleaning out the attic and have a dual seat for a 1996 Triumph 3cylinder. The cover is shot due but all else looks ok. Let me know if interested. It came...
Thanks for the picture, did you go to the corbin for comfort? I've heard these are a little firm. Where did you get the cool exhaust?  thanks  bob  ...
... I don't have a Corbin. I do have a Sprint Manufacturing "comfort seat" which I like a lot. ... I also think the solo seats are comfortable, but taste in...
