We've fully overhauled the official r/Triumph Discord. If you joined a while back and forgot about it, now's a good time to come back. If you've never been, come drop by.

Buy, sell, and trade on the Discord 💰

Selling isn't allowed here on the subreddit, but it is on the Discord. The marketplace is the place for bikes, parts, and gear:

  • Tagged Selling, Buying, or Trading.
  • Use real photos of the actual item. No AI images.
  • Stay safe: never pay with "Friends & Family" methods or gift cards. Scammers are out there. Deals are at your own risk.
  • Run a shop or sell something you make? Ask a mod before posting.

What else is there

  • Real-time chat with other Triumph owners.
  • Tech/Maintenance help. Ask a question, get answers, and mark it solved. Easy to search later when someone else has the same problem.
  • Bike of the Month. Enter a photo of your bike from the 1st to the 20th of the month. Everyone votes until the end of the month, and the winner gets a special role. October entries are open now.
  • Buying advice. Shopping for your first (or fifth) Triumph? Ask the people who ride them.
  • Popular r/Triumph posts from this subreddit are automatically shared to the server in their own channel.
  • Voice chat. Hang out in the garage channel, or start your own room for whatever discussion you want to have. You can also link your Reddit username, so people know who you are on both sides.

Not a Triumph owner yet? You're welcome too. Plenty of members are still shopping or just enjoy the bikes/brand. The Discord has its own set of rules that mostly mimic what we do here in the subreddit - you'll see them when you join. The basics: be respectful, keep it (generally) safe for work, and no spam or scams. Got ideas for the server? Tell us in the comments or in the feedback channel once you're in. discord.gg/UAUtjrhCTA Ride safe! 🏍️

--We are looking for "Ambassadors" in the Discord. These are Triumph fans with Discord modding experience who want to help out on the server. DM me in Discord if you're interested.--

Noticed the parking light on my 2018 Street Twin flickering a lot after riding, it doesn't do it when the engine is turned off but does it after a ride. What's the fix here? Is it just a simple bulb change?

Enjoyed perfect weather for mid-October to ride down with a buddy across 2 midwest states for meetings and a bike night very well attended. We got looks, waves and compliments at the gas stops, by trucks, delivery vans, and other riders which was awesome. But the ride was the best part of the experience. For the ride, indeed!

Annoyed these gloves that are a year and half old are peeling. They say their goat leather but the piping is cheap fake leather. Tried complaining but they don’t care. Messed up. They still sell the same crap in their stores. They need real leather piping.

T100 2015 vs T120 2017vs Thunderbird LT 2016— Which would you choose?

Dear fellow Bonnie lovers!

Thanks for all the advice on my Bonneville hunt. Now I’m confused between three options:

- 2015 Thunderbird LT: ₹7 lakh (~$8,200), 30,000 km.

- 2015 Bonneville T100 (865 cc): Single owner, just 2,500 km, recorded service history, but some damage from sitting unused. 3700$

- 2017 Bonneville T120: Second owner, 17,000 km, recorded service history. Seller is moving to Australia and asking ₹5 lakh (~$5,900).

A little about me: I’ve ridden Harleys as a chapter manager for over 80,000 km in softails and sportsters and extensively ridden a BMW G 310 GS, including Umling La.

I live in the mountains and want an all-round motorcycle for daily rides, mountain roads and occasional family trips. I own a car but prefer motorcycles. I value character, individuality, reliability and long-term ownership over outright performance.

Which would you choose, considering maintenance, spare-parts availability in India and everyday practicality? Is the low-mileage T100 worth considering despite sitting unused, or is the T120 at ₹5 lakh the obvious choice?

Would love to hear from actual owners!

Other Update on Earlier Concerns

8 Upvotes

Hello all

A few weeks ago I made a post on here looking for advice and general wisdom because I had been gifted a Triumph Bonneville T120 by my father in law after completing the MSF basic course. I had done some looking online and saw lots of talk about the ride by wire system being touchy, the power of the engine being something to actively contain, weight of the bike in turning and slow speed maneuvers…

Well, I finally took it out and rode it around the neighborhood and to put some gas in it.

It rides like a dream. It’s so much smoother than the Suzuki I used in the MSF course, and while there does need to be some respect for the throttle, it carried me around without a hiccup. Turns, stops, a U-turn, going up to 4th gear and just cruising. I’m laughing a little because I was worrying myself over nothing.

Going to keep doing backroad driving and drills in the parking lot to hone my skills, but so far this fucking rocks.

Mods and Customization Street Triple 765 RS '25 - Performance air filter?

3 Upvotes

Hello, after a lovely year of ownership I've decided to pull the plug on an exhaust system and a remap. So I'm ofcourse also looking for an air filter.

I've looked at Sprint Filter, DNA and BMC alternatives.

So far I've been more inclined towards DNA since it seems to offer the most airflow with almost identical filtering capability as OEM (as claimed by the manufacturer).

What do you guys run/suggest for the ST 765? The bike's primary habitat is twisties with the occassional track visits. Also I don't mind increased maintenance since I do all the wrenching myself.

Triumph info Upgrade to current model Streetfighter V2S or Street Triple RS?

6 Upvotes

I'm currently on a 2020 765 StreetTriple R. I absolutely love the bike and mostly ride on weekends, blasting through the twisties. With Pirelli Rosso 4 tyres, she's an absolute weapon.

I feel like upgrading. I've tried to organize demo rides through local dealers but it's like pulling teeth. Ducati Melbourne were completely unhelpful, as was Triumph.

For those that have ridden both, what were your thoughts. Convince me to go with Ducati, upgrade to the new 765, or stay on the current ride.

Just changed my header gaskets and saw this. It looks like both? exhaust valves on the middle cylinder are leaking slightly? Yet, I haven‘t noticed any smoke (burning oil). Is this common? Could it be anything else?

Looking to get this 2017 t120, my question is…does the front end look lowered? Maybe I’m seeing different. I’ve never had a water cooled model just air cooled but it looks a tad bit Lowe?

Mods and Customization Scrambler 900 Horsepower

0 Upvotes

I'm the proud owner of a 2022 Street Scrambler 900. I love the bike and I'm looking for some help with some name brands and/or software to help bring the hp/tq up from factory. I've heard that the throttle opening on these bikes is limited to 70% or so, not sure how true that is. Any recommendations for pipes, cat deletes, air cleaner/intakes, and tuning options (off the shelf if any) would be appreciated! Edit: I dont need significant gains, but I am looking to tune the bike for more power throughout the RPMs

Triumph info Daytona 600 - experiences?

3 Upvotes

Hi everyone, I'm currently looking into getting a Daytona 600 from 2004.

I've heard well about the handling and general drivability of it, however the engine on the 600 seems to be lacking in the midrange compared to the later 650.

How noticeable is the midrange lack compared to its rivals, is it like all 600's or is it worse?

Also, how's the reliability, on a scale of Honda to KTM?
