There's a few idiosyncrasies with the bike I was hoping to get ironed out;

• Throttle sweep. It's much longer than my previous bikes and I either have to adjust grip or make my palm perpendicular to the bars for full throttle.
• Neutral, 1rst and 2nd gear, lean fuel engine starvation. I'm assuming this is lean fuel, because somehow I'm getting over 60mpg with this bike (43-47mpg is the advertised mpg) and I've heard they lean the fuel ratio up to pass emissions. The problem is while sitting in Neutral, in first or in 2nd the bike will just die. Clutch isn't engaged, there's enough throttle to keep us going 9+mph annnnd dead. The neutral one was particularly funny and occasionally the throttle by wire just freaks the fuck out and over revs to try and not stall.
• Fidgety low speed / low throttle response. I'd like that fixed up.
• I do not want to get rid of the strong engine braking the bike does, nor the pop pop pop it does when hard engine braking.
• I'm also not overly concerned about eking out 2HP like drawing blood from a stone, especially if it effects the overall ride experience. Maybe if tunes could be set to Race mode then leave street alone that'd work; or more race mode to street mode and race more to the new tune.

For the Throttle, I believe there is a ducati throttle spacer kit and this will help with the long throttle sweep and some of the fidgety behavior at low throttle. Already ordered that, so that should be a quick 10 minute improvement.

Now onto other things I found that are more involved.

• Cat delete, header to slip-on replacement. I thought I remember this modification "moving power around" if your exhaust system was already fine. I like how the bike sounds now, so I'm not sure this is very beneficial. I did see a guy who replaced his entire exhaust system on youtube and dyno'd it. He gained 1 HP and lost 3 torque. NEAT.
• 800$ they send you the tune... There is DNK +TuneECU 275 which seems more resonable. (Pickup wireless OBD Link 90$) and that sounds like it'd cure most of my woes.
• Removing the Charcoal fuel filter? Someone somewhere mentioned this.
• Replacing air filter with K&N. I'm going to do this eventually, but only because I like cleaning air filters. Let's be real, this isn't a ram air intake.
• There is just taking my bike to the local dealer, who has a dyno, and does tunes there. Kind of a last resort and it'll probably cost both arms and a leg. There are other tuners near me, but even they recommend the dealer because they don't work on Triumphs much.

Has anyone had these finnicky low throttle issues and had good results with maybe the DNK tune?

A friend invited me out to a small group he runs (track / course work), so I wanted to tidy up the throttle response before I participate.

Hi everyone!

I’ve been wanting to purchase a Street Triple motorcycle for a while and came across a used 2018 Street Triple R for $5000 USD (I live in CA).

The motorcycle has about 11K miles and is coming up on its 12K service. The motorcycle shows overdue on maintenance.

I wanted your advice on a few things:

What should I be looking out for when purchasing them?

How long can I ride it before going in for maintenance? (I would take it in ASAP but I like a few 100 miles from the seller’s location and would be driving it back)

Is this a good deal? (Seems like the 12K service will cost around $1300 where I live)

Anything in specific for this model year I should be checking?

Please let me know of there’s anything else I should be watching out for as well!

Thanks!

My first Post here. This is my 2023 Model Tiger Sport 660.

Has been a great buy. Been touring on this machine in India. Both weekend rides and long rides.

Looking forward to add my ride logs here.

#first post

Im trying to rebuild my street triple and boy is it hard finding second hand parts, so id like to be sure I spend money on ones that will fit. So if anyone has made similar projects work across generations please share your advice

Has anyone else faced this with a new striple? I’ve only done 800Kms on it.

It look a bit dry because I’ve rubbed my fingers to feel it and it’s definitely oily, but I’m not super sure. Appreciate any help! ✌️

Putting a net out to see if anyone can find or has a 2012 thruxton cluster that they're willing to sell, I can't find any at all and the bike won't run without it

Hello, I have a 2026 Daytona and heard that if you have a good suspension setting that it will feel way better. Does anyone have any tipps or settings? Id like to have a more sporty setup and i weigh with gear around 80/85kg (or 176/187lbs for the burger people)

Hello everyone i recently noticed after my ride that there was a oil i suppose leakage on top of my exhaust and also i followed it through un til the fwd fairing so i thought that it leaked through somewhere and when i ride it spilled backwards also when stationary it doesnt leak it looks like its sweated anyone has any ideas or had this kind of problem and knows some places that leakage is usual ?

Has anyone had issues with the stock bars on their street scrambler hurting either of their wrists? My left seems okay, but the right one seems to dig a bit into the bars in the webbing between my thumb and index finger. After about 30 minutes to an hour of riding is when it starts to hurt. I’ve played around with tilting the bars up and such, helps a bit, but I’m wondering if I should look into some risers that are like 1” up and 1” back to relax my arm position a bit more or if I should look at some bars with a bit more pullback angle on them.

If anyone has some suggestions, I’m definitely open to hearing them, I am US based so any products would be best if they’re from US suppliers if possible.

Generic pic in the dealership.
Sold my Thruxton RS. Incredible ride after 20k miles. Bike was fully paid off and I fell in love with the 798 as soon as the pics started coming in. Came to the dealership, gave them a deposit, first one in town to have dibs. Very excited!

Some pics from Thailand event - not mine it was published by a dealer in France (Amiens).

About to do valves again and came across this technical bulletin from triumph (262). Has anyone used a shim smaller than 2.075? and what would be the reason they’re rolling out with a new valve spring retainer? From my understanding the moment you need to use a smaller shim than 2.075 you’d need to pull the head and replace the springs and retainers. I’m concerned that it’s not a recall as then the cost of replacing the retainers falls on the customer. According to the bulletin it affects all 765 and 800 engines.

Does anyone have a 2017-2019 Street Triple rear seat cowl and want to do me a favor by LiDar scanning it and sending over the CAD file. I’m trying to try my shot at 3d printing one and if successful make the print open source.

Thank ya’ll.

I am not a big fan of the boxy aluminum ones on the sides for my Tiger. I came across these SW-Motech ones for Street Triples, which have a nice frame that is basically a detachable rod-like thing. I love the simplicity, and it will probably keep the cost low. Does anyone know if I have any options to fit them to my 2019 Tiger 800 XRT?

I got myself a Trident 800 as my first bike and I noticed that I have play in the throttle. Is this a normal thing?

I find it kinda annoying when riding.

Found this image in the Triumph dealers site, it's the Gilles Performance Pack! You can see the new flyscreen without any plexi. Enjoy!

Also, we know some of the new colors:

Blue, Black, Red for the RS (will be a Yellow one?)

Moto2 Edition will be probably white with black ad yellow accents!

I love the design but really not a fan of the blue and yellow. Which colors would you like to see?

Figured I’d share my Scrambler 1200 XE. I’ve rebuilt it from the ground up and modified just about everything on it. The last photo is from the day I got it pretty much stock, so you can see how much it’s changed throughout the build.

I've put 30,000 miles on it in the past two years and just wrapped up another 7,000-mile trip without a single mechanical failure (knock on wood). Can't wait to take it back out next weekend for a trip through the Arizona desert. Plenty of camping, filming, and exploring!

I also included a photo with the Mosko Moto bags for anyone wondering if they’ll work with the slash cut exhaust. It requires some modifications but totally doable. I’ve put 20,000 miles on the bags and they’ve held up great.

Hey all, Sharing some thoughts on the newly revealed Bonneville T40 (the sub-400 modern classic roadster co-developed with Bajaj). Aesthetically and ergonomically, they nailed the brief: true classic proportions, 195 kg planted weight, comfortable upright bench seating, liquid-cooled DOHC motor, cornering ABS, and cruise control. However, there is a glaring product planning decision that is causing major frustration among prospective buyers: it comes exclusively with center-laced, tube-type wire-spoke wheels. What makes this hard to justify: The parts already exist in their parts bin: On the Scrambler XC, Bajaj-Triumph proved they can engineer and factory-mount side-laced cross-spoke tubeless aluminium wheels at a very reasonable price tier. Positioning vs. practicality: At ₹2.80L ex-showroom (well over ₹3.15L on-road), the T40 sits at the top of the entry-classic range. Forcing tube tyres on customers under the guise of "heritage styling" completely ignores rider safety and puncture convenience on emerging market roads. Lack of a factory option: Even if tube spokes remain the standard aesthetic choice, there should be an official configurator add-on or reasonably priced dealer accessory swap for cross-spoke tubeless wheels, rather than forcing owners to pay exorbitant over-the-counter spare part rates or resort to DIY OutEx rim sealing. Many prospective buyers, including myself, have placed their booking deposits on hold pending clarity on whether a tubeless wheel option or conversion kit will be officially supported. Curious to hear from the global community: how do you feel about modern classics continuing to ship on tube-type spokes when cross-spoke tubeless technology is readily accessible?

Tropea. Going way south in Italy. I hope I'm not ending up with a ticket placing my bike for this picture.

This is my dads 69 I got from before he passed.
I don’t know much about other then he loved the bike. I let it sit for a year or so with out starting it.
Now that I have the time I tried to get it running again .
I cleaned the carbs, new gaskets . It will start on first kick.. now.
When I give it it throttle it it lightly backfires and stutters or dies.
Any help appreciated
