[Group] TRIUMPH Speed Triple Riders

[KingAbarth]

Yeah was a very nice meet with very like minded ppl who love bikes and all things with wheels tat go fast!!!

 

yes i agree shud do this more often

 

 

 

^_^ on the way back when i was chargin up the onramp on to keppel via duct in gear two , did u see the front rise a tiny bit n i got a lill head shake? haha but no drama la the striple is very controllable.

 

next time if we meet up again (hopefully not to long before july so u wont have to feel the pain much more) i demo abit more bout wat a street R can do in twisties. Imho thats wen this lil machine comes alive n roars

 

I cant wait for july either , after inspection = new pipes!(shud still be getting the arrows . yohji convinced me already^_^.. )

 

The arrows sounds so mild.. maybe cos he rode it easy...

I was just searching for afew vid on youtube and i heard the Zard ones again.. damn... i love it...

 

lets set another date and see if we can get more to come..

[KingAbarth]

+1 Keep the revs moving and avoid trying to accelerate under 3k, change down and accelerate, use the engine to brake as much as possible. Go easy on the tyres as well, tempting to get carried away Check the engine oil level religously , new engines can use quite a bit till they settle in, if there are any problems you can go back to the dealer with a clear conscience and not get BS over warranty .

 

I'ts torture for that first 1k km

 

Pity I didn't see the meetup post till too late, sounds like you had a lively time.

 

I am a beliver of the other method of running in engine. Most of my cars i run in this way > http://www.mototuneusa.com/break_in_secrets.htm

I usually change my oils ard 300km and run it with semi sync oil for 500-1k km before completing my run in.

What i did not do is to run in with semi sync oil or mineral oil for the 1st 100km as what the author says. Cos car engine oil change more ex.

 

Another article with similar run in process...

no, he has his and i have mine.

 

i was at the big splash having dinner with the family on sat at abt 830pm, i was hoping to see a group of triumphs there, even had on my old triumph t-shirt but unfortunately didn't see anyone there....

 

We were there from 10-11+

But we were at starbucks... so maybe u miss us

[yohji]

hey guys, need ur advise here...when running in, at wat speeds do u guys change ur gear at?

 

by the way, i think i saw u at mah on sat yohji..along with another triple rider the uncle..

 

Oh?! Yah I was talking to the garang uncle. He is riding his triple to Thailand AGAIN.

 

When running in, I just make sure I don't go over the RPM that is stated in the manual and I change gears as often as I could BUT once in a while, I'll give the bike a good rev while riding. Speed doesn't really matter as long as you don't exceed the stated RPM. I guess??? I'm no bike engine guru.

I was thinking of an early morning run to check out Sibu Island resort, maybe onto Mersing for lunch or just straight back. Free for evening coffe though.

this is normal for the daytona.

 

u hear it everytime u turn the key on/off.

like a dial up modem connecting to triumph UK, downloading new fuel maps.

 

mister sloggi can confirm this.

sunday mornings are near impossible tks to one pint too many the nite b4 but i would have recovered after breakfast at 2pm.

 

if we can rally the troops, why not?

thanks for the reply...i meant when the engine is running...so it is actually increasing when i rev and decreasing when i do engine brake...

[yohji]

I tot u said drive no fun!

 

when me n shin was making our way home, he showed me a quick preview

of wat the street was capable.. And I'm impressed!

 

Eh depends on what car .. hahaha!! From Monster400 to Street Triple 675. You will not look back!

 

Can see Yohji takes super gd care of his bike! but with such a pretty green machine im not surprised !

Thanks for your compliment. Gives me the strength to carry on haha! Sunday then let it be day time lah. Night time need to rest and get ready for another dreadful week x_x

I know what you mean. It's actually the cam timing chain or something like that. It's located near the front of the engine, just below the tank. Went to Mah before but not much difference. It's normal for the irritating ticking sound. Just rev your bike harder and you won't hear it hahaha!!

Woah that is a little ... ambitious hehe. I think I'll be quite worn-out this weekend. Maybe we can do that another time? Sorry The rest can join you though

[CMYRS]
