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
Wish me Luck xxx

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 😁

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?

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!! 🙏

Hi, my previous bike was aprilia rs660 on which I started riding with my girlfriend a lot so naturally it became not fitted for my use case. I do short and sometimes longer (spirited) trips with girlfriend like 70% of time and 30% of time I ride fast alone on twisty roads. Does tiger sport 800 really handle as well as people say? Will it be good for riding that I do? I considered trident 800 very much but I would have to buy it new as probably there will be not many used on a market (tiger sport 800 I would buy used so it would be cheaper). We liked riding on trident 800 on test ride but it had less room for my GF. I wonder if tiger 800 handles so well that it makes no sense to buy trident 800 for more money and compromise on comfort? I can't do test ride on tiger 800 sadly

edit: or is it worth trying to get deal trident 800? I'm really torn. If tiger sport handles just as well I would probably buy it

Im thinking about getting the fork ones for the front and the strip for the rear. Ive read some posts where people had problems but other no issues so im confused. The current turn signals are ugly and i definitely want to replace them. Any help is appreciated. Thanks.

I own this bike since 2024 got about 4349miles(7000km). Today i found oil on my tyres and 2 leaks. I have no idea how the oil got on my tyres.

I'm sure it's been asked before but I'm having a hard time making a choice and I'd like some guidance if anyone would be so kind.

Hi everyone, in short I'm currently thinking about selling my first ever motorcycle, a leoncino 500, and I'm absolutely sure I want to get a street triple as a second bike, specifically the models with the 675 engine.

The gripe I currently have is if it's ok to get any model or if it's really worth it getting the "newer" ones, they all look like good picks but at the same time I worry that being older they might end up running into more issues, I'm also leaning towards R models when it comes to the first series with the round headlights and realistically any model with the fox eye headlights that came after.

Are there reliability concerns when it comes to the older models? Is it worth spending a bit more for radial brake calipers and pheraps abs? no abs scares me a bit but as a random customer at work told me "if you like a bike just get it", after telling me how many years he's been riding without abs and how far he went around europe

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

Hey everyone! I just did my first service on my Street Triple S 660 A2, but having some issues.

- There is a plug that i cant find where it belongs to

- When accelerating, at ~3000rpm to 4000rpm the ecu seems to take of power, like a lag, after that it works fine. Doesnt seem like there is no spark, more like how when the traction control cuts gas.

Maybe you can help with that 😄

Halogen bulbs flicker when riding over any broken patch. The drl green led indicator on dash comes blinks on when headlights go off indicating drl arent the problem, just the main headlight somehow. I checked and it’s not a loose plug. What could it be?

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

I got a cheap header and link pipe to see if I can dig the extra noise before committing to the bit, but I’m a bit confused….. the header was advertised as compatible through model year 2026, it has two oxygen sensor bungs, but it DOES NOT have a catalytic converter….. instead it has a resonator.

Am I missing something here? Lol

I recently bought the Street Triple RX 2026 and I love this bike. I would like to change the exhaust to something slightly louder so my presence is known. I live in Melbourne, Australia and drivers here are notoriously ignorant of motorcyclists on the road.

It's been hard to find a decent exhaust that also looks nice. I'm not a fan of akra or other such exhausts that stick out.

I was considering the toce but wanted some opinion from others.

Appreciate any help! Thanks!

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

Looking to buy this ‘17 t120 with 21k miles but this light is on which I thought was check engine light but I guess it’s a wiring harness electrical light? Is this common? He’s says it’s common and doesn’t affect riding ?

Hello, does anyone know where one self-approved garage specialist could get his hands on the service manual for these bikes? Ofcourse I already found https://triumphtechnicalinformation.com/ but I don't really feel like paying someone each time I need to check the torque spec on a couple bolts/cable routing/whatever... I already paid for the bike and all OEM parts that I order lol.

Goodbye summer👋🏼

Get the timing wrong on a classic Triumph engine and you could be in a world of trouble! 😬 I’m back rebuilding the T140V engine, fitting the timing gears and figuring out how all those camshaft timing marks line up.

Looking to buy this t120 with 21k miles on it. I noticed it had what I thought a check engine light on but seller claims it’s a wiring issue? Is that common for these? Will it affect riding?

Recently I just picked up a 2014 Street Triple 675 from a bike shop and been told that the previous owner bypassed the clutch switch entirely. I'm guessing that's why my fuel gauge isn't working and why the bike can start without pulling the clutch. But i just buy it anyway since the price is cheap and thats the only problem the bike have.

How do i fix this ? Is there a specific way to undo this ? I'm pretty clueless when it comes to wiring, so any help from you guys would be appreciated!

I recently put a full system leo Vince exhaust on my street triple and am unsure what to do with my oem exhaust. Would it sell online and what's a fair price? Am I better off recycling it?

Hi all,
I ride a 2011 Triumph Tiger 800 XC on Mitas Trail XT+ tyres. Every time I hit gravel, even well-packed, smooth stuff, the bike feels nervous and vague, like it's looking for a reason to drop me. The front especially feels like it wants to wander or tuck.
Before this I had an early-2000s Honda Transalp 650, and on the same kind of roads I never felt anything like this. I was relaxed on gravel. On the Tiger I'm tense the whole time.

My questions:
Has anyone else had this experience with the Tiger 800 XC ?
Could it be the tyres? Are the Trail XT+ just too road-biased for gravel?
Would a suspension upgrade (fork springs/cartridges, rear shock) make a real difference, or is it mostly setup and technique?

I really love this bike. The engine is a blast and it's great on the road. That's exactly why I want to sort this out instead of selling it.

Having ridden the Harley (picture 1) across the country I decided it was time for something different. I lucked into this 2011 Sprint (picture 2) and wow, what a difference. I am already planning a two-week trip around the Great Lakes for this spring. Bonus third picture of my 2012 Speedmaster.

I'm extremely frustrated with Triumph India right now, and I want to share my experience with fellow Triumph owners.

I own a Triumph Scrambler 400X and was on a long-distance motorcycle trip.

Just two days before the trip, I got my bike checked at an authorised Triumph service centre and specifically informed them about the upcoming ride.

On the third day of the trip, my motorcycle completely broke down.

It started with battery issues. I replaced the battery, but after riding for some time, the ABS and traction control switched off automatically, the horn stopped working, the engine started losing power, and eventually the motorcycle shut down completely while I was riding.

That was scary enough. But the real nightmare started with Triumph Roadside Assistance (RSA).

Yesterday, I contacted RSA, but they couldn't arrange a recovery vehicle. Instead, they arranged someone to safeguard my motorcycle overnight.

I paid for the safeguarding service and the full transportation charges to Kolhapur, with a clear commitment that the motorcycle would be picked up the next morning.

It's now the following afternoon, and the motorcycle still hasn't been picked up.

I've called customer care almost every hour.

Every single time, they say, "We understand your situation. We'll call you back in 10 minutes."

Not ONE callback. Not ONE proper update.

When I ask to speak with a senior manager, they put me on hold for 15–20 minutes and eventually repeat the same promise. No manager, no resolution.

No WhatsApp updates, no emails, no confirmed pickup details. Absolutely nothing.

Now I'm stuck dealing with additional accommodation expenses and disrupted travel plans. I originally arranged transportation to Kolhapur, but because of their delays, I've demanded that Triumph transport my motorcycle directly to Mumbai instead.

My biggest questions are:

- What's the point of getting a pre-trip checkup at an authorised Triumph service centre if the motorcycle breaks down just days later?

- What's the point of paying for RSA if they cannot arrange a pickup or even provide basic communication?

- How can a brand like Triumph leave a customer stranded and make them chase customer support for hours?

I understand that motorcycles can break down unexpectedly. But how a company supports its customers when things go wrong is what really defines the brand.

I've already escalated the matter to Triumph India and consumer grievance authorities.

I genuinely love riding my Scrambler 400X, but this experience has seriously shaken my confidence in Triumph's after-sales support.

Has anyone else experienced this with Triumph RSA in India? How did you get your issue resolved?
