Featured What you been doing with your TRIUMPH today??

I've finally made the trip to the Peaks with the Thruxton R. Enough miles added for the first service on Wednesday and blown away by the ability of this bike. Super steering, ultra useable motor ( even when restricted to half revs)and great comfort and brakes. Enjoyed every mile!

 

Went to this

Took a few pics

Then took a ride out to Gloucester, Forest of Dean and Monmouth

 

I have the app. Apparently different features appear with different connectors.

This is the recommended one from tuneecu and its / they seems to be very specific which hardware works.Loads of comments on their forum about using one of the 3 they highlight.
So I ordered this one.

Thank you all. This should save me a few quid.

 

Thanks Rocker.

 

Looks like this was a fun event, Helmut Visor! Great photos. Thanks for sharing them.

 

Just removed a non functional chain oiler, no idea what make it is, but it's not a scottoiler. Oh, and now i have 2 fully useable chain adjusters, i've tightened my chain

 

Wished you lived closer cos I'd of done it for nowt buddy.

 

Dd, do you have anymore of that d-brite buddy, ill take some..... I'm in spain at the minute, I'll deffo have some.

 

No, tunecu can do that, I've done it on my 2015 speed triple

 

Never pm'd anyone dd but I'll try and learn buddy

 

Feck all!!!
as I am waiting for a Master cylinder for my bike to complete the brake upgrade.

But my son needed his FZ1S rescued from the parking field at
"The Sausage and Cider festival",
(yes that is the correct title) after having a bit too much of one and Thankfully none of the other, I think?
So gave it a good blast on the way home and it is fast agile etc, but wished it was my Speedmaster

 

Need to get my bike into my van next week so made a thing this weekend. Will have to lower the wing mirrors as it's a bit of a tight fit. Haven't tried it yet but failing that, it'll have to go in my Sprint Shuttle trailer.

Also fully run-in now so been out all day using a bit more throttle. What a great bike! Went over to Motolegends and tried some Rokker jeans.

 

Bike is looking good there. The rokker jeans are ace, buy them..

 

Thanks Wessa, I thought so too that's why I slipped it in. And thanks for the Rokker recommendation. I most certainly will now.

 

And motolegends are a good shop, I’ve bought a few things from them and have been very impressed with their service and advice

 

I have several pair of Rokkers (got them all on sale one way or another). I agree with Wessa--they are "ace" which is a new term to me but from the context I glean that means excellent?!

 

Took the bike to Aberdeen last night had a great run in. Frankie Boyle show. Very good only not a lot of new stuff.
Speed was faultless as usual. I came home in a downpour, ( not what was forecast) 50 miles in the. dark .The bikes lights are good much better than the Sprint I owned previously.

 

Nowt worse than riding in the dark when it is raining...

 

Edit complete brown mouse story.

I now have a working bike back from dealer and they reckoned it was a loose battery connection, doh! That makes some kind of sense, I can imagine a not fully tight connection arcing with current surge from the starter motor resulting in a damaged contact area not electrically conductive enough to keep ECU happy (that's my theory, not dealers).

I'm not 100% convinced as when I asked the service desk to check with the technician they said it was the positive terminal, which is the one that is accessibleand I had checked that by hand wiggling to check it wasn't obviously loose. Still bike now works and the first thing I will try with any future problems like this is to remove battery, clean terminals and connectors, and tighten them up again good and proper.

I'm posting this mostly for posterity, and potentially for people to find via web searches if they have similar problems.

 

Cleaned and covered my Thunderbird LT with FS365, checked fluids and tyre pressures ahead of my mini tour of Yorkshire next week. All is good and ready to roll. So please with myself I got on the Speed Twin for a blast around the Cheshire lanes. All in all a bloody great biking day

Two minutes, on my Android phone and Blue tooth connector ( facility only on bluetooth) and my service indicator light is reset.
Thank you.
