    Hi Everyone
    Just chopped my Tiger Sport in for a White Speed Triple RS. Had a 2010 model before and always regreted selling it. Decide against the new Matt black paint as I am unsure of its long life durability even though it looks cool.. so white it is. Hoping to enjoy the forum

    Nice choice Tripster, enjoy the bike and the forum. At this rate Triumph will stop making the “S” model, everyone’s going for the RS :cool:

    Many thanks to all who said Hi :)
    Quick question, I ordered the quickshifter but it wont be fitted by tomorrow, ordering stock, so will be done at 500 mile service. Does the quickshifter & auto blipper come as one or seperate parts I should have ordered ?

    Think just the qs does it all, it’s the software that blips for you on downshifts but there are a few on here who have it fitted and will give more advice for you.

    Collected today & put 125 miles on so upto 5000rpm max for a couple more hundred. Love it, absolutely love it.
    Suspension is very hard compared to demo bike but once everything run in etc. will check with dealer what settings demo bike was on as it felt perfect for me. Other than that its just a beautiful bike. Pics from today

    Anyone fitted permanent charging plug for optimate to battery ? I see its under the tank but want the plug to exit away from the engine. Can it be routed safely out of the way. Not looked yet so just asking before I do

    Welcome Tripster. Re-routing the lead shouldn't be a hassle mate.

    I had a look today and fed it down left side of tank to infill by seat and its just too short ☹️ So coiled up under front with battery until I next get home and a chance to sort something out. At least its connected and can stay on charge
