Featured What you been doing with your TRIUMPH today??

Plenty of these things owe more to ease/sequence of manufacture than ease of maintenance.

 

All done
Started my compressor and blew all the cobwebs leaves and debris out
Blew through the drain hole
Then sprayed ACF50 all over the place
Used the airline again to get rid of the excess and put everything back together
Pencil showing the new fuse position
Would’ve feckin hated to do this out on the road somewhere

 

Top job Dilli, make life easier for yourself mate you should send that photo to Triumph and say "this is how it should be"

 

Nice neat job mate, it'll ensure that fuse never blows

If you hadn't have moved it surely it would have gone the next dark and wet trip.

 

That’s what worried me
I came across a YouTube video where the main fuse had blown
I thought that’s not happening to me

 

I've just screen shot that for future reference, when you're full of JD and got your hand on the throttle

 

Great job, very neat


I cracked up seeing your picture, I thought someone had put a cock in your twat ...until I zoomed in

 

The to do list is slowly but surely getting ticked off

 

On the later models the main fuse was repositioned and is now easily accessible

It should never had been positioned there on the generation1 models in the first place.

 

Just been woken up Dave ?

 

Your not far off Andy

 

Fitted some new front wheel bearings,and went for an essential,road test.Bournemouth overcliff.

 

The bikes looking good mate

 

Thanks,bud ,just ordered some new air filters.So I'll post when fitted.

 

Got out the other evening. 70 degrees in November doesn't happen all the time, so have to enjoy it while you can.

 

Started cleaning the French crud off...

 

Had a run on the Thruxton today for tea and a burger, lovely.....

 

^ Unlike the lucky above who are getting the last drop of riding weather, you know when your season is over when you crack the 865 top end open for valve clearance check (and fingers crossed no adjustment required I hope).

Tuned in XS Manchester on my online web radio (thank God the shortwave days are over lol) and also decided to finally rid myself of the SAI system. Picked up some Nissan oil sump plugs 12Mx1.25, and a 11\16" plastic push cap\plug for the airbox at the local home store. All fit dead on, total cost $15 and looks factory. I cannot believe what vendors charge for their "kits" +shipping, absolutely crazy.

Anyone know if the exhaust "pops and bangs" completely vanish post SAI-delete? I hope not as I like some of that, just less frequently I am guessing.

 

No they don't, not if my bike is anything to go by , but it does have after market silencers.

 

Took swingarm off the Thruxton to get it powdercoated black.
And fitted new Tec clutch and brake levers. Seem really good quality parts.
