Hi there decided to finally take the plunge and get a triumph scrambler after all this lockdown crap I need a bike in my life again. anything I need to look for or avoid and if a bikes coming up to 10,000miles on mileage is that a big service and expensive? Any advice welcome or anyone knows of any bikes for sale thank you
Lcfc85 Welcome to the family. Quite a nice machine no trouble heard people say the exhausts are a bit hot on the legs. But miles these day don't really mater look at the service history. Joe
Hi and welcome to the forum Quite a few Scrambler owners on here so they should be able to help. I assume the service intervals will be @ 6000 miles, (like most Triumphs) so 12000 will be the first big one.
Greetings Lcfc85, and welcome to the forum. Good luck with your Scrambler purchase. As steve lovatt said, there are lots of Scrambler riders on here. Check out the Thruxton, Scrambler, & Trident thread if you haven't already. Hope you enjoy the forum!
Hi mate & welcome. My Scrambler has been 100% reliable - although she did fail to start once. But it wasn't her fault - the battery failed after 7 years. 2 tips from me : Keep it hooked up to a battery tender & spray with ACF-50.
Hi thank you for the warm welcome people still looking for a scrambler doesn’t seem to be many about atm which is annoying but I’m sure one will pop up is there any meets planned this year at all around the midlands area
Welcome to the forum. I take it you are looking for an early air cooled Scrambler as opposed to the later water cooled Street Scrambler. Not sure aboit the earlier bike but the service interval on the SS is 10k, after the initial 500m. I've never ridden the air cooled version but I'm dead chuffed with the SS I bough last June!
Yeh free the air cooled version just personal preference and I love the look of the older one I had a 1964 speed twin a couple of years ago should of kept that
Hi @Lcfc85 and welcome to the most polite and intellectual forum on the interweb. In time you will learn to think down to our level, and after several (strong) drinks may even be able to understand us (them, as I am the only sane one here). I wonder how you chose you forum name as I can’t but help see LD50 which has entirely different meanings. Keep safe and please send us some pictures of your bike - many members like pictures as it keeps them calm.
Nice selection, with a very pretty Brake Van. Reminds me of reading Thomas the Tank engine stories to my (many) sons.
