    hi I only got my 2013 street triple on Friday I've done around 150 miles so far.
    Today I got home from work around two pm. The bikes had its cover on in the garden.
    So I've just gone to take it out for a ride and it's still worm and Idoling at 3'5 rpm
    It's the a triumph thing ?

    If the bike continues to idle at 3500rpm even when the engine has warmed through there is almost certainly a problem. There is a solenoid which controls the idle speed which is known to fail.

    It doesn't appear to have an idle speed knob - couldn't find any mention of it in the owners handbook.

    Something not right here I'm afraid. Not a Triumph thing!
    Biglad is probably right about the solenoid thingy.

    so two hours in triumph and it's fixed.
    I had a guy in the local garage fit my crash bars But The bolts where to long.
    They had moved the throttle body over triumph said I'm lucky not to need a new one.
