Speed Triple 1200 Rs

Ive just picked my 1200 RS up this week, took it straight to KAIS near Manchester to get the suspension set up and took the (useless for the lake district) Metzeler RR's off and swapped for Bridgestone S22's. The bike is firmer than my previous 1050R (2017) but i love it... Its worth noting that out of the box the suspension was fully pre loaded at the rear and no preload on the front. Only issue is i cannot connect the navigation via the 'My Triumph' App, ive seen a few posts on this and it appears it needs to addressed by the service team at Triumph. Missing frame no information on the software when it was first loaded onto the bike! Also the additional extras are in short supply, Im still waiting for my fly screen and windshield, sports mirrors and exhaust bracket... hope this helps..

 

So comparing it too the 2017R, whats the biggest difference?
Anything you feel that is better on the 2017 and what's better on the 1200RS?

 

abba stand fitting kit is available if you email them....kit 114 and the v4 ducati rear wheel adapter fits if you have a sky lift.

 

Hi guys
Does anyone know of any aftermarket exhaust manufacturers making an end can for the new 1200rs?
Cheers

 

Did the suspension change much with KAIS - did thet just make adjustments or change the high speed compression damping etc? I think the harshness is the HS comp. Me too waiting for accessories...

 

I used the settings suggested here and it does make a huge difference..I'm 100kg in kit.

 

getting the indicator wiring stowed was a fiddle and the fitting guide isn't very clear..

I’ve applied to the 1050rs too. I definitely agree about the compression but I had to a little softer on the rebound. Definitely better as well.

 

Hi Chris, though I haven’t taken delivery of mine yet I have been out on the same demo twice and first time round I found it difficult from 1st to get neutral, it was easier to select 2nd gear and then select neutral. However on my second time out a week later I found it easier and got neutral either way. Suppose I will truly find out when I take delivery.

Also, still no news on any aftermarket exhaust when I searched. I wanted to order a radiator guard yesterday from Evotech and saw that they are out of stock currently. I will have to wait till they notify availability. Also ordered the rectifier guard and calliper plates. I so wish Arrow will make a low boy full system like they use to for the 2015. Sad to see they have very little for Triumph on their website currently.

 

When stopped, click up to 2nd, then it's trivial to get into N from there, at least on mine.

 

you develop a knack for it after a while
