Hello Folks, I just pulled the trigger on a Street Twin 900cc. Ive been riding since 1982. Owned everything except a Triumph. The bike has 2000 miles on it. What can I expect? Anything I should check right now? Any suggested mods? Tell me I did the right thing.
Hi welcome to the family. Do hit the upload a file button bottom right and show the inmates your bike. The main thing you will find now is you will smile a lot more. And of course now you will take any excuse to go for a ride. Yes I think you did the right thing Joe
Congrats on the Street Twin. It's a great bike. My wife has a 2018 and she loves it. I'd suggest riding it for a bit before jumping into mods. After you get some miles on it, you'll have a better idea of what needs tweaking.
You haven't said what year it is but if it's still wearing the bloody awful Pirelli Phantom tyres they should be instantly consigned to the bin. I know many US roads are dead straight but we have a lot of bends over here. We also have practically no road maintenance whatsoever, so our bendy roads are full of holes. Consequently the original Street Twin shocks can't cope with either the bends or holes. So the shocks on my ST soon followed the tyres. Just about any reputable make of tyre and shocks will be a vast improvement. Have a look at the Motone website (in Wales I'm afraid) for very well made Triumph mods and accessories you didn't know you needed, but be prepared to splash the cash
