My 97 TBS runs fine around town and then when I open it up on the highway. But after 15 or 20 mins at highway speeds (say 60+MPH), when I slow down again the...
It's interesting. Per Alec's feedback it's probably coils and I tend to agree. I've asked my two local Triumph dealers if they see a high incidence of coil...

Good decision IMO. My TBSes are the best overall road bikes I've ever had. They do it all, from relaxed cruising to driving the squids crazy on twisty little...
