1993 triumph trident 750

Actually the earlier ones are easier to fix if there is an issue with it as there is an inspection plate where you can fix the issue without pulling the engine to bits.

The Trident is a great bike and the 750 is a great engine, what is the mileage of the bike what is the condition and what is the price.

Other things to look out for are front fork seals apart from that the bikes are fairly bulletproof.

These bikes are starting to go up in value so a good one is going to be worth a bit of money soon and they are a really good bike to ride.

Sounds like a reasonable price for the mileage and age.

Ask the guy if the sprag clutch has been replaced as well as fork seals. another thing to check is if the rear suspension linkages have been greased as they can cause issues if they haven't been looked after. The only other thing I can think of is the exhaust silencers some of the earlier ones had an issue with rusting out around the hangers. Apart from that it is just the usual things checking that the engine and chassis numbers match and seeing what sort of history the bike has got service wise.

If the bike is a bit of a bugger to keep idiling when it is cold don't be too worried they all are a bit like that and it takes a bit of pratice to get used to the choke on them although my 97 750 isn't as bad as the Daytona 1000.

Always worth asking if they are willing to take £200 off.

Best of luck

Hi Roundy! The sprag clutch can be problematic but pulling in the clutch when you start it saves the damage.
You would soon know if the sprag was gone, it sounds like a thousand grinders all working at once! When it is started.

 

Don’t think Roundy will be reading your reply as he posted his question in April 2014 and last seen on here 5years ago
