Hi all, Just had my '98 TBS tank repainted and a dent knocked out after some *&$#@!! cage driver removed me involuntarily from the bike a month or so ago. I...
I recently had my tank re-sprayed, raising similar questions. Inspection with a mirror and snakelight showed that the paint visible in the filler neck didn't...
I'm not aware of the inside of the tank being coated/painted with anything from the factory. Guess it could have been. Rust might form in the tank and clog...

A little rust in the tank is inevitable...i put an inline fuel filter in the rubber hose between the tank and carbs...the screen on the carbs is not really an ...
I had carb problems from Rust, thats when I added fuel filters, that I will replace everyyear. My dealer said they were "coated" from the factory. What that...

Conclusion: Bad ignition switch. After we diagnosed it as that I ran some wore from the two points in the connector, bypassing the switch (not going to say...
So, you had the dent knocked out? My dealer told me that the tank was double walled and, as such, the dent couldn't be knocked out. I have a dent right where...
Hi Todd, The dent in the tank was top left shoulder, caused by the clutch lever perch coming back into the tank as the bars bent. So it was centralised across...
Without wishing to cast aspersions on the integrity of your dealer, I have never heard of a double walled motorcycle tank (mine certainly isn't) and I suspect...
The new ignition and seat lock are on and everything is fine; just in time for me to take her down to Savannah for the weekend. Thanks for everyone's...
Well, I was asking them about knocking it out from the inside, again because the paint is not scratched or cracked where the dent is located. Maybe they just...
Went out for a ride last week. After a gas stop, the starter failed to turn when the button was depressed. I turned the ignition off and on, checked the...

The badges are screwed to a pair of blind inserts. I'm intrigued by this concept... has anyone ever seen a double walled tank on a motorcycle? (other than the...
The clutch switch is intended to prevent starting the engine whilst in gear and trashing your shed! If the clutch is out, connection is made via the neutral...
Beeb there happened to me also and just after the bikes first 1,000 K run in. Must have been like that from new, very loose. ... From: "midliferider"...
I agree Pete, the fact that they badges bolt to the tank does not require the tank to be double walled, just that the inserts be closed-ended (blind like you...
It is quite possible to remove 'smooth' dents (without sharp edges or creases) by pumping the tank full of water (NEVER use air or gas of any kind). With the...
Inserting clutch switches, sidestand switches, etc. into the starting circuit does improve safety. However, reliability is compromised as more potential...
Niether have I, but I did hop a birm coming out of my driveway that put the sidestand down. I'm not sure I would have noticed it until I took a sharp left if...

I read that Triumph only made 150 of the 2004 Thunderbird Sports. I was wondering how many 1998, 1999, 2000 and 2003 Thunderbird Sports were made? Any ideas or...
