The '70's were the days.sex was safe and motorcycles were ddangerous. Too bad there aren't any aftermarket frame mount touring type fairings made anymore--- ...
Sorry for the cross posting but I really need a hand. I need to replace my throttle cables and the dealer says he only sees one on the microfiche. Are they the...
Thank you group. I was not near the bike and Duh, I could have waited until I got home but I figured the dealer knew more than I. Once home I saw one cable and...
Hey guys, it has been fun but it is time for me to sell my Triumph. I really want a jet ski but I can't afford 2 toys so... I have a beautiful 1999 Yellow/Blk...
Hey fellow Nashvillian! Too bad you were'nt selling a month or two ago...friend of mine just bought a bike, ended up getting an SV, though I would have...
How often do you guys change your fluid...my bike only had 5K on it (2000 model) I have never touched it! Looks good but maybe I ought to do this soon? Peter...
The book recommends changing every 18,000 (30,000 km) or every two years. First you pull the tank. There are two way to drain the fluid. One is to loosen...
JimBo, thanks for the bonus tech info! I am way way way overdue just on time frame alone..will do this right away. Pete ... years. First you pull the tank....
I did mine initially on my 98 before it was a year old but it had that funky mix the factory put in that turned an ugly brown. After that I try and change it...
Hi All, I refreshed lots of parts this year - but I have to admit that although the front brakes are much improved with replaced seals and pistons, I can pull...
Mine does as well. It didn't bother me too much until I was able to compare it to my Tiger. I do need to replace the fluid in the TBS so that might be part...
Glad you didn't drop it! Although I imagine you get as much wet riding practice in Hawaii as I do in the UK: As you probably know, there is a quite a lot of...
AFAIK the emission system simply captures fuel and vapor, scrubs it in a filter and returns it to the intake to be burned. The TBS does not have a CAT. My...
Just had the exact same problem. Turns out it was air stuck in the master cylinder piston (not the wheel cylinders). All I had to do was pull the cylinder off...
When removing the emissions though is there anything that needs to be plugged up or capped off. I know that on the Bonneville when you remove the air...
Looking for a few spare parts, I am doing over a bike that had been in the weather. Spares anyone, need turnsignals, mirrors, brake master cylinder screws,...
Hi Grif, Thanks for the suggestion. Is the intake for the cylinder definitely to the left of the reservoir? - i.e. lever pointing vertically = greatest...
Sid, Not sure about the other items but the screws and screw caps are easy. I raided the nuts and bolts area of my local True Value hardware store and...
Depends where the air was infiltrating from on your system. I just know that by removing the entire reservoir/cylinder assembly and turning it lever-up allowed...
I have a set. The bottom one has a scratch from when I droped the bike (sorry, my first bike and I got a little to cute maneuvering in the parking lot). I took...
Hi I'm a newby, first post. I have a 1995 Thundrebird. Can any one tell me what the dementions and spec are for the two O Rings that usually come with the oil...
I've always used the Triumph OE filters which come with new o-rings. Some owners have taken the old o-rings into an auto parts store and gotten new ones while...
