... Yep. ... These things have naturally very noisy engines. If applying an electrical load (hit the brake) makes the just off idle noise go away, you've got...
Got a '99 TBS myself, just shy of 20K miles and it's been flawless. Just put a chain and sprockets on and learned the value of ongoing maintenance. The pipes...

I had Metzeler roadtech Z-6's and got just about 6000 miles out of them. Next up are Dunlop Qualifiers.4400 miles and just about done.(I knew going in,I would...
I'm just putting my first Z6s on, having used MeZ4s since the OE Avons needed replacement my 98. My usual mileage at replacement is more than double, almost...
I just replaced by Bridgestone Battle Axe BT-020, the former version and had almost 12K on them with miles left. I did them since I did chains and sprockets. I...
I tried the Z-6's on my Sprint...got a little over 7,000 miles on them..the problem, is that since they have no tread in the middle, you dont really know when...
Ah hah! It was your post I read that made me take a closer look at the Z's. The rear was very thin and the front badly cupped also. I never really did like the...
I just mounted a Storm on the Front, still have the Azarro on the rear. The Storm is much better in the rain that the Azarro. I've not done many miles in the...
I switched from Avons to Dunlap D220. I really like the ride with the D220, including the slightly lower profile. The tires seem to work better in wet...
Just put a set of 220's on my '95. Love the control they give me wet or dry and can now lay it down until the pegs almost drag in the corners. Good to hear...

My '95 T-bird cuts out while riding and runs on only 2-cylinders (it's the left most cylinder, while sitting on the bike, that cuts out). I replaced the...
I did not notice any wear bars on the Z's. They rear was very squared and the front badly cupped. The Qualifier wear bars started showing about 400 miles ago. ...
exactly...they have no wear bars, no good way of telling when they are worn. The only way to know , would be to measure the flat spot in in the center of the...
... You are right about the twisties. My commute to work is only 17 miles. The road is beautiful with plenty of corners, with most being on hills (crest). I...
I would like some oppinions.... I have had two sets of Bridgestone 020s, sport -touring on my Legend 900, I have been pleased with them over all. Nice...
Triumph recommends 42 R and 36 F; I've always found T3s love to be up on the numbers, even a little over as I'm sure it helps get the higher mileage. Maybe...
I appreciate the feed back. After reading many books and articles I never knew that the maximum psi factored in the rise in temp when the maximum limit is...
Was the alternator bolt problem resolved prior to the 2000 model year? What if any differences (other than color, doh!) are there between the 2003/4 and 2000...
