Can some one tell me if I should expect the top idiot light (water temperature) to come on with the ignition on but engine off? Thanks Courtney in Seattle '04...

Nope, not coming on - just going thru a new-to-me bike making sure I know how it's supposed to work. Does anyone know of a source for the headlamp wire...

Cortney, If you're refering to the wire that holds the bulb in place, it's part of the headlamp assembly...which is $200 from Triumph. I would give Baxter...
Yes Steve, the wire that holds the headlamp bulb in place is exactly the part to which I was referring. So it's part of the entire headlight. OK - it doesn't...
That vibration is common among all the T-3 bikes. My 885 Fi Tiger has it too. Gary 98 Thunderbird Sport 00 Tiger 07 Mini Cooper S 85 Ron Cooper (bicycle) ...
Courtney, I have a intermittent vibration and rattle that's more than slight between 3000 and 4000 RPM. Bad enough that I thought the engine was starting to...
Hello I am a new member to this group but have already found it quite useful & interesting. I have a 1998 TBS which I just rode from the UK to Spain and have...
Cobblertommo, I also had the alternator rattle in my 98 and repaired it myself. It is a fairly easy job. The Triumph mechanic looked at me like I was crazy...
Even after many loctite pitstops, and rotor replacements, the rotor kept rattling. I tig welded mine on and it hasn't bothered me since! You can always grind...
I must be one of the lucky ones. No vibration, no alternator rattle and no bad coils. Todd '98tbs ... "Every gun that is made, every warship launched, every...
If I have it, I've never noticed, but this was my first bike, so I had nothing to compare it to. Todd '98tbs ... "Every gun that is made, every warship...

On my 200 m. ride yesterday I realized I've not come close to scraping the pegs in the twisties. I know I'm not the MOST aggressive on the lean, so is it ME or...
It's you, Norm....;>) Not only scraped mine regularly, but could get them to fold up on a regular basis. Gotta love the tyres these days, and the bike is so...
It's not that simple: You will scrape the pegs more if you ride corners by putting the bike under you, like a dirt bike rider. If you ride like a track racer...
Very true, Alec. IMHO, I think anyone who does a Rossi and climbs all over a bike on a public highway is a clot, so I tend to ride like my hero and late friend...
I stay with the bike too, and have scraped the pegs on numerous occasions. I suspect Alec would say I'm not exactly the world's most cautious rider, though....
