Trident 750 1996 model need help

Hi all
I have a big prob and don't know where to start :-/
Basically I had a lot of work done mainly cam chain glide and new cams
All together was about £300 - £400 at the garage
So I was happy when I finally got on it and was rideing for about an hour maybe more
I'm not very experienced but for what I thought a 750cc bike should give out
It just seemed it was holding back then all of a sudden I was revving and it wasn't giveing me anything
Like there's a rev limiter is how I can describe it then stoped and wouldn't start I sat at side of road till it cooled
And it fired but with a loud knocking and within 5 - 10 min revs limit and cuts out again
Like something ceased when warm but when cold it turns over nice and fires but the knock there till warm then cuts
I took it back to garage and he didn't wanna touch it as he said it's the bottom end and not worth it
But I'm not sure
Any help please ?? And thank you so much for reading

 

Hi Richard
Apparently the guy dropped the oil and found small metel bits
This is why he didn't wanna touch it as it would mean splitting the engine to get to big end
And that would be pricey just to see what it is as I'd already spent so much on the work already
What kinda price would a triumph dealer want? Always scares me when ya talk official dealer lol
Cos tbh I could do with a dealer saying it's to do with the work that's been done and stick this on paper then I have proof
The guy messed up
I'm near ripley Derbyshire do you know anyone local by any chance?
Cheers

Hi Steve
I sent you a reply yesterday but it's not here so not sure it it got to you lol
Basically no I used another bike before as this one had a rattle from cam chain also the tyres were part worn ex track ones so felt like it was on rails :-/ so this garage did me the cam tentioner then found the guide was badly damaged this was all awhile ago as I ran out of funds and the bike sat in my garage since but still turns freely and seems ok till it fires and on tick over knocks like the pistons trying to come through :-/
The knocking seemed bottom end at first now it sounds more top and a lot louder
You say the Daytona engine would fit is there any other that would drop in? As the trident is quite hard to find cheap
Tbh just wanna get it back on road and sell to a liveing owner realy
Thanx for the reply
Davy

 

Ouch yeah I think striping the engine sounds cheaper lol I do have a manual and my dads on hand as the bike is at his
It's just haveing the time as I work 12 hour days
As for the engine I hear the Daytonas engine would drop into the trident
Do you know if any other engine could be dropped in??
Thanx for the info and advice realy appreciated
Davy

 

Hi Steve thanx for all that
The bikes got a few bumps and bruises tbh but nothing Broken
Also looks like at some point fuels spilt over the tank and effected the laquer
What sort of price would you be looking to pay for one just for a idea cos iv thought
Of advertising it as it is for say £500 it has a new rear tyre aswel
Cheers davy

I'm in Derbyshire near ripley
