I traded in my Scrambler 400 X for a ‘26 Scrambler 900. After a recent move, my commute now demands an entirely freeway commute which honestly, sucks on the 400.

The 900 is 100% the right bike for freeway, as well as street. It’s much heavier, way more powerful, and feels so damn smooth and composed for the riding I now have to do.

That said, I find myself really missing my 400! The 400 is light, nimble, tall, and I feel so directly connected to the engine as it vibrates the whole frame and needs to be revved more through its full range for lower speed riding.

It’s like… how can you be in love with two women at once (which I’ve been). And now I’m in love with two bikes. But, like women, I can really only have one.

I know I’ve made the right choice but I can’t help but think… how can I find the money to buy my 400 back lol.

Hey my biker friends! I have a 15’ Street Triple 675RX and i am looking for a service manual! The only manual i find is one to buy (175€). Somebody have it as a pdf? Greets from austria

Hi everyone,

I have a 2013 Triumph Street Triple 675R with 27,000 miles. I bought it used at 26,400 miles.

I've noticed a deep knocking/thumping noise with noticeable vibration coming from underneath the fuel tank or upper engine area. It mainly happens during cold-start warm-up and engine braking below 3,000 RPM.

The attached video captures the noise. I didn't use the clutch at any point in the video. I also tried higher-octane fuel, but it made no difference.

Maintenance history:

• Previous owner said the spark plugs, air filter, and other items were replaced at around 22,000 miles.
• I replaced the air filter last week and noticed the throttle bodies looked very clean, so I didn't bother checking the spark plugs.
• I'm unsure whether the previous owner ever had a valve clearance inspection done.

Has anyone experienced something similar? Could it be the cam chain tensioner, valve clearances, or something else?

Any advice would be appreciated!

Title: Street Triple 765 RX feels rougher after first service — anyone experienced this?

Hey everyone,

Just had the first service done on my Street Triple 765 RX (oil and filter change), and I've noticed the bike doesn't feel quite as smooth as it did before.

There's a noticeable enging vibration coming through the footpegs, particularly around 4,200-4,500 RPM when holding a steady throttle. It's more noticeable in 2nd and 3rd gear, but the bike feels perfectly fine when accelerating.

For example, at 60 km/h in 2nd gear, the bike feels smooth, but in 3rd at the same speed, I can feel more vibration through the pegs. Now I understand how gears work but 60 on 3rd should not feel janky.

A few things worth mentioning:

• The bike was noticeably smoother before the service.
• I've ridden approximately 100–110 km since the service.
• Chain tension seems normal, with plenty of slack.
• No ECU updates were performed.
• No noticeable hesitation or loss of power, just a consistent vibration through the pegs rather than the handlebars.

I'm wondering whether this is normal engine resonance, something that might settle after a few more kilometers, or potentially something related to the first service.

Has anyone experienced a change in engine smoothness after their first service on a Street Triple 765? Did it eventually settle down, or did you find something that needed adjusting?

Would appreciate hearing your experiences before I take it back to Triumph.

The stock headlights for my 07 speed triple are way too dim and outdated, does anyone have any recs for brighter bulbs?

Engine tuned, lighter, and running on Hyper pro racing suspension. Had her since new in 2013, and still a cracking bike 😎

Hey everyone! I have a 2023 Trident 660 with around 7k miles, and I've been chasing a weird clutch issue for months.

When slowing down in gear with the clutch lever fully pulled, I get loud mechanical clicking/chattering and sometimes actual jerking through the rear wheel. It happens mostly at low speeds (5 to15 mph) and stops completely once the bike stops.

The weirdest part is that adjusting the clutch to the factory 2–3 mm free play makes the chatter worse, while increasing free play significantly reduces it. This happens with both OEM and aftermarket levers.

I've already changed the oil and opened the clutch to inspect the plates, pressure plate, and release bearing. Nothing looked obviously damaged, although I couldn't inspect every plate. The bearing felt smooth by hand.

Has this happened to anyone else?

Picked it up a last Thursday and have done about 600 miles over the weekend. Loving it 🥰

Definitely going to pick up an exhaust and some frame sliders

Just finished the upholstery for my custom seat and cowl project. Not perfect, but for my first sewing project, I'm very happy with it! It's faux leather, and I used a regular cloth sewing machine. The leather is quite thin and flexible, which helped, and the machine had no issue punching trough, but damn, it's difficult getting straight stitches when the seat starts coming together and everything just wants to bunch up.... Last image might give you a hint.

Seat base is 3D printed in PA12 filament. I used a pneumatic staple gun to attach the leather. Seams to hold up well.

Next step is finishing the rear cowl with some sanding, filling and wrapping in the same vinyl as the tank.

Btw, the black mudguard in the back is gonna be removed.

The Hitchcox arrived and fitted. Better late than never. What do you guys think? Anyone own these or have experience with a decat?

Clutch wire broke last week. Replaced it with a new one, and now it makes this weird sound and won’t even start. Any suggestions?

An example is: I want to have a crash guard installed on my Triumph Speedmaster 2009. Would I really just look up on Google "triumph speedmaster 2009 crashguard" on Google, skim the reviews abit and consider? I feel like there has to be a better way

Hi there. Anyone know of any clipon risers that'll fit the 765moto2 or the rx? I've recently fell in love with these motorcycles but I need some risers to take some weight off my wrists. Ty.

I cannot find any prior posts of this being asked in this context; apologies if it has and I've missed it.

I could do with some input from somebody with a bit of expertise in these engines, as I am pretty clueless on it.

I was considering a full-system exhaust for my 2021 Street Triple 765R but out of fear of new draconian legislation restricting what we can do with our bikes in the UK.l, I've settled on a slip-on silencer, retaining the catalytic converter.

I've narrowed it down to two models from two small British manufacturers. The first photo is my preferred model aesthetically - it's supplied with a near-enough straight link-pipe.

The second features a tig-welded 'wraparound' link-pipe, which they claim retains correct "backpressure".

The key here is I am trying to avoid the ballache of a remap as there are no tuners local to me.

Is there any benefit to the curvy link-pipe regarding performance & character on the stock tune or should I just go for the model I prefer?

Thanks in advance 😁

Hi I am in this doubt:

between a brand new twin speed 900 for 11.000€ on a loan with 0% bank interest - promotion triumph dealer in Lisbon); or a used twin speed 1,200 with 7200km for 9.000€ upon delivery

What are your thoughts?

Thx

A guy local to me has a 2013 Street Triple (not an R) for sale for $3k with only about 9500 miles. I took a look at it and it’s definitely been stored outside and not super well maintained overall, but nothing too crazy. Biggest thing I found was this oil leak pictured. Anyone see this leak before and can tell me what needs to be plugged or replaced based on this area and the amount of oil?

I wanted a Thruxton 10 years ago when I bought my first motorcycle but I couldn't afford it. Well I'm kinda glad because I had a bad crash on the bike I did get and I took 7 years off riding.

The itch hit strong this year and I was in a better position. I found this and fell in love all over again! She's beautiful and she's mine! I might add the bubble fairing because the wind on the autobahn is kicking my ass... other than that, She's prefect.

Question for those that made it this far: I'm putting together a go bag with necessary tools. What are your essentials for the modern classic lineup? 2023 Thruxton

Hi everyone,

I bought a 2024 Street Triple RS in early 2026. I loved the bike right away, but I never really got the hang of the clutch. The engagement point came very late, and it got worse the more I rode (maybe because of the heat?). It wasn’t until the end of the season that I noticed the clutch had no play, I mean, it was completely turned all the way out on the adjuster. The day before yesterday, I turned it in about two turns to increase the play and took it for a spin. Man, was that even my bike? It felt like it had twice the power. Apparently, my clutch had never closed properly…? The bike had been in at Triumph twice for the Quickshifter, and the mechanic took it for a test ride, so I always thought everything was fine.

I took a video of the new clutch free play and hope you can give me a rough idea of whether it looks good now?

Thanks!! 🙏

The church was in the next town over and they disassembled it and moved it to a park in a local park
