New Arrival With Issues!!

Hi guys,

Collected my new Street Triple R 765 today and not a happy camper!

1. The bite point seems so high you've bearly any clutch to play with (don't know the phrase I'm looking for!)and getting off the lights quickly is a mission.

2. The bike seems to be chugging at 30-40mph not a smooth delivery of power at all.

I get the engine needs to bed in but these issues are concerning. My old Street Triple R had none of these issues and yes the ride isn't as smooth but what I am paying the extra for!

Any new Striple owners able to give an informed opinion?

Cheers

 

Tried between 2 to 4th gear starting at around 4000rpm. I'll try again tomorrow and report more on this. Cheers

 

Haha will post tomorrow.

Wasn't until I go off the back roads in to usual traffic near home (1hr away) it started to play up.

Steve at Triumph (who has been good so far) emailed to say:

"Not sure on the RPM when @ 30mph in 2nd or 3rd, if it’s anything less than 4K in 3rd the new 765 engines prefer it higher up, just an engineering trade off for the way the engine has been tuned for the latest model.

The 675 was a more low down torque motor but lacked in HP at the top end which the 765 certainly makes up for.

This is what I can only assume you are experiencing after jumping straight off your 675 into the new 765. The engine will naturally free up as she beds in. Can’t say for sure obviously without trying it out"

I was around 4000rpm I'm sure.

 

Cheers. I'm hoping it beds in as some of my ride is town commuting which the 675 R did with ease.

They seem helpful but my Fazer (soon to be purchased) will be taking the weight off this baby in the winter and wet days (and my wallet for maintenance and insurance) . The Triple business insurance was nearly an extra £100 per 1000 miles!

 

After the winter hack getting all the attention it's time I celebrate the new arrival. So photos attached. Sadly he's been under cover since since a week last Saturday.

I want to upgrade the mirrors (look and are crap as a mirror) and anodised (right word?) front reservoir as it looks plasticy and crap.

TNT display is quality, I just need to bed the engine in to iron out the above moans!

 

Thanks mate. I had a courtesy call from Triumph and aired my disappointment at a couple of things.

F#*ING weather I might get to ride her again in September!

Haha yer it's TNT display
