[Group] TRIUMPH Speed Triple Riders

[crazytown]

I am thinking of asking my brother in England to surface mail me some cans of PJ1 Satin Black paint ( PJ1 116 SAT).

I need to do something with the shite paint job that Triumph did on the crank cases and cylinder block of my bike.

I,m not the only one here I know. Every used Street and Speed I have seen at Mah suffer from the same bubbling ( wrinkle ) finish on the cylinder block and upper crank case. I asked about it there also and the reply I was given is that "they are all like that, the speed is worse!" and from what I,ve seen ----they all suffer the same.

 

Anyway, I don't like to look at it as I think my bike is the dogs bollocks .The bike and the hard work I put in to buy it cash, deserve better.

 

So.

 

As mail order places won't despatch areosols ( because of airplane saftey) and having searched around Singapore without success ( got close at Chong Aik ((?)) ) on Desker Road, I can't find any PJ1 Satin Black.

 

Does anyone else want some? I,m going to ask my bro to surface post 4 cans.

[KingAbarth]

Whats the heat rating on them? I remember my friend got some heat bounding paint from US that can be coated to exhaust header, this will reduce the heat soak. I used it for my car previously, not sure if PJ1 is of the same nature?

[crazytown]

Not too sure, I'll find out. I buy Streetfighters magazine and there are heaps of bikes in it which the owners/builders have used this paint on the engine. The finish looks good and very similar to the Triumph paint.

[KingAbarth]

can you also ask if it can be painted on exhaust/exhaust headers?

[crazytown]

This paint is available from Chong Aik (?) but is matt black ( 500 degrees centigrade ) as well as a " crinkle finish " paint for casings.

I'm wanting to achieve the same finish as standard on the casings.

 

I did ask about them importing some of the Satin Black but the guy seemed uninterested and told me it would take 6 months.

I passed a White Street with standard silencers, on Lornie Road about 6.50 pm Wednesday 23rd.

 

Cheers mate, ditch the standard cans.

Just had a sprint with a white Lamborghini.

 

The tail spoiler popped up on the back of it and it just , well, buggered off.....very quickly, and I wasn;t exactly hanging about.

 

So to confirm, a Street Triple is no match for a Lamorghini super car, good grief it was fast.

 

But there is no contest in traffic though>>>

The street is where your strength lies hence e name, Street Triple but out in e open roads, that insane 4 wheeled monster(Lambo GENIE) munches everything in it's path.You would prolly wanna outsprint an STI, Evo or Fairlady next time...

[crazytown]

Cheers mate.

 

I try my best at every oportunity ( officer ), but normally traffic gets in the way.

[KerplunkZ]

Wats the fc like for street triple r? The tank how many litres?

[Blackie21]

on my older triumphs, i never got anything more than 13km/l for city riding....but who cares as long as you have fun.

Actually... i think our bikes may win.. thats if you have the balls to ride it..

Cos i remembered our bike 0-400m sprint is ard 10.3s, while the Lambo is ard 11.0 s

But on a rolling start we loose steam after 190kmh while the lambo can do 290 without missing a beat..

[crazytown]

Balls ?

 

This was Dunearn Road not Santa Pod. Rolling start it was due to traffic from some lights, then empty road. I was behind it in the traffic.

 

To confirm, now I know the car was a Lamborgini Murcielago as identified by the electric pop up rear spoiler, they are about 630 bhp.

 

I am not talking 0-60, far faster. Officer. If my bike was a Gixer 1000 then it would be a different story, but a Gixer 1000 in the endless streams of traffic I ride in daily would be as boring as reading your post 100 times a day.

 

If you think you've got the balls, sorry, fast enought. Find one and have a go then post here. Nothing to do with balls matey, horses more like.

Still laughing, very funny... I've just got back from UK where I had the pleasure of a brief drive of a tricked out 600hp Nissan GTR....I was like a three year old with a large bag of sweets. Absolutely no doubt it would have completely nailed my Speedy....good god it was fun sir!! .....and for those who are about to scold me, yes, I know this is a bike forum :-)

 

....meanwhile I get home yesterday to find my Speedy has wet itself with a significant oil puddle under the sump and to top it off almost zero coolant left in the coolant reservoir......definitely NOT a happy bunny (especially surprising seeing its not dropped so much as a dribble until now and then goes and completely soils itself.) gonna have to take it down to Mah's and have em look at the sump gasket/other.

Sorry to hear about your bike Brucey, most upsetting. It will be under warranty but still not good. Please keep us posted about what the feedback is. I would arrange for them to collect it mate as it don't sound like you should start it up. They should pay.

 

My Street has developed a small oil leak from somewhere behind the gearbox sprocket cover. It will go for service soon which includes valve adjustment, 1000km short of the recommended 18,000km service. Apart from that its still the dogs bollocks. Trounced by a Lambo or not.

 

I watched the WSBK round from Donnington in the UK on Sunday on the tv, my it looked cold there.

[KingAbarth]

As said in my post.. rolling start or moving speed are a different story.. i dun think any of the triumph bikes can ever come close..

I know what i am talking abt since i street race against them along orchard road with my humble nissan..

 

Do i need to post about it...? Nah... horses i have.. balls i dun.. go figure.

but u probably find it boring reading after 10x.
