Featured What you been doing with your TRIUMPH today??

It's all worth it, though. The adult beverage after, especially!

 

I've got one of those heated grips things on my Street Triple. Doesn't work any more. You just remonded me.

 

I’ve been a bit hesitant to remove my tank because of the fuel line fitting. Don’t have a clue as to how it’s supposed to work

 

Remonded?

 

Dilli moving the main fuse to above the battery tray makes it easily accessible and it’ll be in a dryer position and is a worth while mod. Quite a few peeps on the Tiger800 forum have done that mod.

 

@dilligaf if you go on the tiger800 forum there’s someone doing a 12,000 mile service and he’s been given a few ideas for tools to remove that pesky connector. I did it not so long ago, didn’t realise how fragile they were, god knows how I didn’t snap it!

 

This fella? Before I attack mine......

 

Dilli I was going to say seeing as you’ve got the air filter off check the cleanliness of the stepper motor shaft,,,,,but it looks like you’ve possibly cleaned it already if you haven’t make sure it’s clean mate.

 

Bugger
I thought I was being a clever shit

 

Ermm the what?where?

 

I have now for nearly 15 years this metal fuel connectors and this will work..always!

This cheap OEM shit biult by Triumph is really Trash!

 

(sigh) There is obviously no piss for the wicked!

 

They are a f#cking pig! The one on my Street Triple was a nightmare, and as the connector from the tank (fuel pump) is plastic it was a real worry that the force required to remove would damage it I was convinced (wrongly) that I hadn't pressed the release buttons sufficiently, and I tried all sorts of things to try and get a better purchase on them, even taping small nuts to my fingers , but it turned out that the once on the pipe is just a git to remove

 

There you are old lad I’ve circled the stepper motor.
There’s a shaft coming out of the top with a rubber gaiter,if this shaft gets dirty in can stick and you’ll have problems starting Mr Tigger.
Some peeps have put oil or grease on the shaft but all that does is dust or muck sticks to the shaft causing it to stick also.
It’s all well documented in the Tiger800 forum.

 

That is a LOT of bugs, OsteKuste! Those grips look great--glad they are working better for you. I tend to like grips that are a bit thicker myself. What you used looks quite a lot like some of the handlebar tape I've used on my bicycles over the years.

 

Good pics, Duck. Hey, have you ever compared the amount of time you spend working on your bike with the amount of time you spend riding it?!

 

It's always good to have such an exceptional back up plan for rainy days.

 

Geez, dilli, you could start your own parts department!

 

Cheers mate
I’ll have a look at it and clean it with a toothbrush and ACF50

 

I think it’s probably better with nothing on the shaft then crap can’t stick to it
