I have 'em on my TBS, Terry. Great for access and performance, but very sensitive to airflow. On the highway at anything above 80 mph, any disruption of air to...
The effect you describe is a result of the pod filters being exposed to fast moving air. There are two approaches to this problem: 1) Use the airflow. If the...
Thanks, Pete. I just bought this TBS to replace my written-off one and these mods were done by the original owner. I was looking at trying to mount the...
Actually, I have the 3 pod set up and experienced the 'stumble' at high speeds and especially with a headwind of any kind when I first installed them. I solved...
Hi Chris, Useful indeed! What jets are you using and how much did you have to shim them? I think R2 (the original owner, another Richard) fitted 140 mains to...
Did you make a type of support for the Carbs and pods? Without the airbox the Carbs & pods are hanging on there own. Ruff roads and riding without support...

I'm afraid I've not had a chance to get on a dyno yet and try such subtle changes as varying the outboard carbs, I'm running on stock cams, 130 mains, 4th shim...
I am going to flush my cooling system on my 98 TBS, and I was wondering if any of you have any recommendations on when I should replace my radiator hoses. I...
Aloha Keith, I have darn near 85k miles on my 98 and have not had to replace any of the hoses. Even my Tiger wi 60k on it has the original hoses. Unless...
Gently squeeze the hoses. If you see, feel or hear any cracking - which could be on the inside - it's time to replace them. Atmosphere / pollution in...
A word to the wise. Mine broke on Saturday about 80 miles from home. I was able to pull it out from the sheath and angle it so I could pull up on the cable for...
Sorry to hear about your mishap and hope you have a speedy recovery. There have been a few instances of broken throttle cables and similar efforts to limp...
Replace your hoses when coolant begins to escape. Pete. If it ain't broke, don't try to fix it. ... From: triumphthunderbirdsportriders@yahoogroups.com...
By the way, I have a brand new TBS throttle cable I never used (sold the TBS for a Tiger) and a yellow solo seat with a small scratch (about 1" long) on the...
The cable broke pretty far into the sheathing and there was NO warning whatsoever. Put about 200 miles on that day and suddenly nothing. When I pulled the...

Aloha Dave, I've replaced my OE shock with a Hagon unit as well. I think I need to attend to the forks with some new fluid and maybe some tuning to match up...
hi all, I've replaced my OE shock too with a Wilbers unit and also replaced the front springs with progressive units from Tecnoflex (a lot of work on the ...
Hello all; I must sell my TBS and it is not easy as I love that bike but I have to do it. It is a 2000 Model, has less than 10K miles on it. This bike is in...
Last year, in search of the elusive "performance edge", I replaced my stock spark plugs (NGK DPR8EA-9) with new NGK DPR8EIX-9 Iridium plugs. Everything worked...
That info is of interest. I put those same plugs into my '99 Legend last July. I thought these iridium plugs were suposed to last longer than traditional ones....
Wow, This made me run out and pull my iridiums. I have about 6000 on mine and they still look fine. I know I am running a tad rich after installing a jet kit,...
