    Hi guys and girls,

    Since about one month I'm a very lucky owner of a Street Triple RX 675 (2015). What a blast driving this!! I'm so happy with it!

    Before I bought it, I also tried a 2013 Speed Triple from a friend of mine, but it just didn't feel good to me. The Street just feels (and is) so much lighter. I came from a Ducati 848 (and before that a GSXR750) and it was mainly the nimble feel of the Street Triple that caught me.

    My RX was actually imported from the UK to where I live (Netherlands), so there's a chance the previous owner also roam(s)(ed) these forums. Previous owner was pretty enthusiastic as he or she did over 30.000miles (50.000km) on this bike in about 3 years.


    But, of course, I got to this forum not only to introduce myself :laughing:
    I have two questions:
    1. Can anyone point me out to a good (simple compatible with my RX) automatic chain lubrication system? Preferably one where I don't have to manually press some plunger.
    2. I bought some original Triumph crash protectors (sump case, front fork, frame), but I'm having a very hard time reaching the engine mount front left nut (for the frame protectors). Is there some sort of trick (or special tool) to this? Or does this really require radiator removal?


    Edit: Whoopsy.. think I need to change my avatar before I get lynched here :yum

    Welcome to the family. Do drop us all picture of the steed to drool over. Your Avatar looks good to me nothing wrong with a duke. Scottoiler is my chosen method of chain lubrication.
    Ride Safe & Enjoy
    Joe.
