2011 Triumph Street Triple R 675 Wont Start

Flyn · Oct 19, 2024

Hi all, hopefully someone can help me fix my bike! Or at least point me in the right direction.

I’ve had the bike since new and done all sorts, toured, tracked etc but then the bike was stood for about 4 years, mainly due to deployments, divorce etc.

When I had the time/money to give it the love it deserved I replaced the following:

· Battery

· Drained and refilled the tank

· Oil and filter

· Coolant

· Air filter

· Brake fluid

· Spark plugs

To my astonishment and delight, she fired up first time! But unfortunately ran very rough at above half revs. After some thorough googling, it looked like it could be the fuel filter, in the pump, in the tank.

Replacing this was a massive pain, but got it done. After this, it would crank over but not fire up. I have had a very experienced mechanic look at it. We have ruled out that it is not the fuel pump as it is gushing out when it primes, and it is not the spark plugs as it fires up when we put starter fluid in the airbox.

It looks like we may need to delve deeper, thought I would check in with you lovely people first. Help please!

@Flyn If the bike has stood that time then probably needs a system clean. Get a good carb and head cleaner and just start it a few times to let it clean. Also check the rubbers around the head to carb bodies for leaks or cracks. Do let us all know how you get on with the problem.

After the airbox was apart have all of the sensor plugs been re-connected, especially the MAP sensor including it's rubber pipe? Is the MIL light on?
