Well, thanks guys. It must be what you say. I own the TBS for two years now and before I was leaving the bike in a colder place at night, thus obliging me to...
Yes. You have to modify the catch to get it to line up, but otherwise it works great. Most comfortable and stylish seat for the TBS out there, IMHO - ...
The accident rate has been going down as cell phone use has gone up so individual stories do not a true pattern make. People who do stupid things on the cell...
My '99 TBS does well as long the temp is over about 60 degrees at night. She sleeps in the garage and the choke is critical if it's even mildly chilly. I live...
Let it warm up a bit before riding it too. ________________________________ From: John Shaw <horton@...> To: triumphthunderbirdsportriders@yahoogroups.com...
Hi John, I am starting with no need to choke (the bike sleeps in the garage). Javier ________________________________ De: John Shaw <horton@...> Para:...
Hi: Does giving it more choke when cold reduce it...... John .............................. The individual has always had to struggle to keep from being...
I am having these days a strange behaviour in my TBS. It starts but during the first minutes it "coughs" when I am accelerating, making it hard to speed up (I...
... And my '99 will crank all day long, but it won't start until the sidestand is raised. Once the engine has started, you can put the stand back down and the...
My experiences have been similar, I suggest charging the battery. Sometimes they just don't like to start with a battery that is not fully charged. I have...
Push starting a bike makes no difference to the sensors. Absolutely if you are in gear with the side stand down it will not start, Push or button. The only way...
Then the sensor in the kickstand is shot ..... .............................. The individual has always had to struggle to keep from being overwhelmed by the...
Hi: On my bike anyway the safety switch on the kickstand will stop the starter motor from cranking, so this is not likely the issue. Is it possible the battery...
My 98 will crank with the clutch pulled and the side stand down while in gear. But it will die as soon as the clutch is released with the stand down. ...
Don't the side stand and clutch cut out switches prevent the starter from getting juice? If so then they aren't your problem. Friend of mine had same...
... Hold on guys. I had the clutch switch go faulty, it works in the starter circuit so that the starter motor won't even turn (look at the diagrams and you'll...
It does sound like one of the safety switches is giving you fits. I would start with the one on the Kickstand since it is the one that is most likely to be...
... I bet you're right, Javier. I've been seen doing both of those on the '99. Thankfully the '00 has never had any of those problems (although it did...
Really? 150K miles! That's encouraging. Strange problem. Push starting is just manually doing with the starter does. Could be related to one of the idiot...
Hi, maybe there will be lots of people that will know better... but, do you try avoiding the microswitchs in the side-stand (raise it before starting) and the...
150,000 miles on bike.turns over well.but will not fire.it will start if i push start in 2nd gear. gettin to old for this. Any ideas on where to start....
