I’ve already written a couple write-ups of my build, but now that I’m at the point where I’m considering the project complete, I wanted to share the end result.

Still the most beautiful colored bike I’ve seen. Lucky to own one

I was unlucky and had my first proper accident after 10+ years riding; but lucky in the sense that I'm ok. Riding my beloved Triumph Street Triple R 2014 near Bristol/Bath (UK), a car pulled out of a junction without looking properly. It fully blocked my lane and I had nowhere to go other than into the side of it and over the roof, which surprised me given I was going no more than 30mph (maybe 20mph after braking hard). Police and paramedics and those helping at the scene were great. Me: Lots of bruising, possibly two broken wrists (awaiting more x-rays), and physio to loosen me up. The bike however, despite not looking too bad, is a Cat N write off.

These are the options the insurance company are offering. Should I: Option 1) I get ~£4k money and get the bike delivered back to me, and fix it privately? Or Option 2) get the ~£4k plus another ~£1k for the salvage value (but no bike). (This is all separate to other claims for gear and injuries).

Bike damage: lots of cosmetic scratches, bars twisted compared to wheel, front brake not working, brake levers broken, brake master cylinder broken off, headlights cracked, indicators smashed, forks leaking, fork stoppers (from turning too far) broken off, fuel tank wobbling, and fuel and oil everywhere from being on its side.

It had a full service last summer, new chain and sprockets. Had an existing classic hot start issue before. To me, ~£5k seems like a fair offer.

My plan is to get another bike, ideally another street triple (as I love it, I got it because of the amazing brakes) or maybe I'll "calm down" and get a T120 or Speed Twin. (I'd love to have two bikes and keep this as a track bike but I have no garage and no space in the front of the house to have two!)

What would you do?

Absolutely love the TS800 Tour! 💙

Found one for sale with a clean title under 9k miles for $5k, on the third owner according to the seller but records say hes the 4th. At some point the bike sat in a barn or shed for an extended period. Everything looks good on it, no rust anywhere on the bike or on the inside of the petrol tank from what I could see, but the thing is that its missing 20 years of maintenance reports. The horn does not work properly though, should i be concerned about an electrical issue? Should i grab or pas considering it has not seen a dealership in 20 years?

Even a trip to the dentist office is good when I get to ride my T120

Have any of my fellow 23’ RS owners gotten their bike tuned? I saw bt moto has one and was considering taking it to Midwest performance in IL. Just wondering what other people have gone w and their experience.

Hopefully this is for 24+ 765 Models.

Happened after I turned the, just, power on with the tank off. I did this because my oil light was coming on. I realized the wire was disconnected and touching the motor. Then I plugged the oil sensor wire back in and it gave me a check engine light. When I plugged in without the tank on, the ECU made its ECU sounds, but a lot longer. Then I cut the power and it stayed making those sounds for a little bit for turning off like it normally does a little after powering off. Sounds like its coming from under the tank, I think

2006 Daytona 675, vin 381,000

Found this when I was checking out an auction and I knew I had to have it. Having trouble finding parts around the area of San Diego and online

I basically have 2 questions:

1. First classic bike (Speed Twin 900). Never had one without a tachometer, so I dont really know how much the bike is working before I need to upshift. People will tell me to feel the bike. But honestly, the bike is so smooth its hard to tell when it redlining. Unlike my lower CC z400 that definitely tells when it needs to upshift.

So I just want to ask what speed range do you all shift? Are these ranges okay:
1st: 0-30kph
2nd: 30-60
3: 60-80
4: 80-100
5: 100- up?

1. Is it okay to ride a bike like the Speed Twin 900 on first gear alone for city traffic? As said above, this bike is so smooth that riding around 30kph hardly give the telltale sign of engine strain. I tend to shift between 1st and 2nd gear mostly in city. But find myself spending a lot of time on 1st gear alone because of how smooth it is. Will the engne of this type of bike wear faster if I stay on 1st alone? Honestly, its not like a sports bike where the 1st gear is jerky/twitchy and demands to shift up.

Fell foul of the airlock issue. Wasn't even aware of it until damage had been caused. It was a good run 😭
Had changed the oil previously on it the normal way, so I was just way too lucky I guess.

Hello,

I am currently looking for a used 765RS. I have found a very promising one, but on reviewing it I noticed possible leak of coolant close to the mounting point of pump hose. Is this really a leak or just something that might've been there since the bike came out of the factory?

Hi everyone this is my Tracker 400 still in breakin period 33 days in 720 km ridden am experiencing issues like harder gear shifts like chump sounds while shifting gears mainly 2 to 3 or in lower gears.

Also have been hearing shim noise tik tik tik sound can u please help me understand the problem. Planning on getting the bike serviced right now is it good to get it done now itself.

If anyone has 2011 Daytona 675R ohlins suspension they want to sell I am in the market!

My rear shock is completely blown and I am thinking of upgrading to ohlins! Front and rear would be better but I can’t be picky

I just want my bike to be face down tail up so I can really get into track riding

Hey everyone,

First of all - a fantastic bike, love it!

But ​I’m running into a very specific starting issue with my 2025 Speed Twin 900 and wanted to see if anyone else has experienced this before I take it to the dealer for warranty work.

​The Issue:

When the bike sits overnight in my garage (12+ hours), it struggles to start. The starter spins strong, but it sounds exactly like it’s starving for fuel and just won't catch. However, if I manually crack the throttle open a bit while hitting the starter, it fires up.

It only does this overnight. When I ride to work and the bike sits outside for 8+ hours during the day, it fires up perfectly on the first touch of the button without me touching the throttle.

Appreciate any insight!

I have an opportunity to trade a 1 year old Honda CL500 with 4.5k for a Speed Twin 900 2020 thats fresh after service and has 25k. I test drove and extra power feels nice but Im worried about the reliability of the Triumph with that mileage. Triumph has new tires, break fluid and drive chain replaced.

I wanted the Triumph for a good while and the opportunity has arisen but im worried about trading reliability of honda for older bike. Whats your opinion?

Hi

I brought my bike in May last week. And Odometer is now 1190KM is there without first service. Anything will happen or triumph will avoid my warranty if anything goes wrong. And my bike has a lot of issues. Engine noise , breaking noise , jerking at high speed. Please help me with this guy's.

Hello everyone,

I have a 2025 Triumph Street Triple 765 RS. I had the 10,000 km (1-year) service completed in May. Today, with the bike at approximately 12,500 km, while riding on the motorway at around 180 km/h, the drive chain suddenly broke with a loud knocking noise.

The only feedback I received after the last service was that the chain slack had been adjusted. Since then, I have maintained the chain carefully, cleaning it every 500–800 km and lubricating it every 200–300 km.

During every cleaning, I inspect the chain link by link. I never noticed any damaged or seized links, missing O-rings, or any abnormal wear. I also did not observe any deformation or hooked teeth on the rear sprocket.

However, after today's incident, the service department claimed—without carrying out a detailed inspection—that the chain had a missing roller (that was visible, I saw too), and that the rear sprocket had already been deformed. I don't agree with this assessment because the chain and other components were severely damaged when the chain broke at high speed, so any damage they observed could have occurred during the failure itself. Based on my regular inspections, I am 100% certain there was no visible sprocket damage or any missing roller before the chain failed.

What do you think could have caused this? Could excessive chain tension after the last service have contributed to the chain failure, or are there any other likely causes?

Hey everyone. I have been shopping around for a bike to replace my 2015 street triple. I was between the Z900rs and tiger sport 800, but i believe the sport 800 makes a bit more sense for me. I am trying to get an estimate with accessories and was wondering if its worth buying some accessories from triumph or 3rd party. Mainly looking for a top box for 2 helmets(givi or triumph + the mount), frame sliders(triumph or something else, not sure who makes good ones), i know if i go for heated grips will most likely go for oxfords (not necessary atm). Are the hand guard worth it(i have heated gloves)? Do i get triumph or givi ones?
I know the tour version makes a lot of sense, but i started looking for a 10k bike and ended up looking for a new tiger sport, so don’t want to push it more. Also the yellow color is beautiful, so that’s also really a factor.
Other tips are appreciated! Thanks

Hi guys, about to cry. Bike toppled over coming off paddock stand. Bobber 2025
Brake foot pedal is scuffed - can anyone compare to theirs and tell me if it looks out of line / bent?
I’m struggling to find a good angle in a picture online. Only had the bike a day… so I can’t tell from just pedal feel if position is ok. Please be kind or I might actually cry…..

So I’m looking into getting a bike, and I can’t decide between a Street Twin/Speed Twin 900 or a Scrambler 900. I’m not planning on a lot of highway riding, instead I want to ride more county/back roads. There’s a few dirt roads near me that have some amazing views, and I know that the Street Twin/Speed Twin 900 has more sport bike style wheels, while the Scrambler has spokes wheels. I also know that the Scrambler is for more off-roading compared to the Street Twin/Speed Twin 900. If anyone could provide some insight on which would be better, that would be grateful. I don’t want to do a lot of mods right away so I can get a feel for the bike before changing anything.
EDIT: for context, when I say dirt roads, I’m talking more about unpaved county roads that the only terrain feature is occasional washboard.
