12k Service

There will be a few folks on here that are around Glasgow that will give you a number for a friendly mech

 

how much?????? kin ell. I'll be getting my hands dirty then.

 

My 16' Speed Triple is in for the service on Thursday at a Triumph dealer, said is would be £650 ish
I will let you know how it goes

 

Yep triumph talking out their ass again, gone is the world where you would work on your own girl, or know some one, in the modern throw away world triumph believe some do not have the intelligence to work another plan out, triumph have lost me as a on going customer for their shark approach to ripping the customer off

 

I was quoted £650 to have the ABS only service done on my previous bike, CBR600RR, by the local Honda dealer. It is, indeed, an all day job as the ABS is very complicated and hidden under the fairing.

It's not just Triumph................

 

Think you got the wrong end of the stick.
The quote (I believe) is for running costs for services up to 12k, not a 12k service.

 

The 2005-10 Speed Triple's were good to work, did a lot myself. I haven't touched my 2016 one!
There is a limited edition 2009 Speed Triple for sale on Autotrader for £6k, with only 1 mile...was part of a collection and not used...if someone is interested

 

A bit far from you but Clive Wood is THE MAN.
Whoever does the job make sure they do suspension linkages and stub axle. They fail for a past time and expensive to replace. Clive sees so many that has failed he keeps a drop and drag link in to exchange.
Later models have a different system but still fail on the drag links.
There is a lot to do and will take the whole day to do correctly. If they don't they are missing things out.

 

Picked up my Speed Triple this morning from is 12k service at Hughenden M40 and while it didn't need the coolant or brake fluid changed, it did need the pins on the rear caliper drilled out and new pads.
Cost was £590 Inc vat
Valve clearance was spot on, spark plugs were a nice tan.
Apparently the new style makes it a right bugger to work on and the ECU is locked to TuneECU, if I was to attempt to connect it, the ECU would freeze put and have to go to Triumph to be unlocked

 

Why I bought a 94R.......it's a keeper.
Probably worth publicizing a more prominent warning for other '16> owners?

 

I think it's quoted on the tuneecu website

 

Heard they are a bunch of muppets there. Hope they did suspension linkage and hub.
Obviously not got the right tools for the pins.
B fluid so quick and cheap to do why not do it at 12k?

 

I hear you, I get on well with Bruce in the shop, the mechanic seems a good bloke
Must admit my doubts though, I checked the rear linkage and although it is cleaner, there is road grime on the spacer where the cloth cant reach, suggesting it was wiped in situ. I hope I am wrong and that it was cleaned before being reassembled but it does cast a doubt as to whether the suspension linkages were taken apart, cleaned and repacked with grease
Wouldn't be too bad for me to be able to hoist the bike up on the Abba Skylift, take apart the suspension linkage and check its condition

I am surprised too that the brake fluid wasn't changed too, I cant do it as it has the ABS bollocks that means I cant bleed it myself, you need a machine to do that. but being 18 months old and mostly motorway mileage, I am not too concerned the BF is in a bad way.
The coolant was done when the radiator was replaced in April after the postie van knocked into me from the side

Although they said, "drill out the pins", he used some tool that enable you to get in and unscrew it. Only charged me a few quid for the replacement pair.

I do like them at Hughenden M40, but I guess everyone has their off days now n again

 

Android ECU Tune allows you to bleed the ABS brakes. I think.
