Any and all things Triumph

Can someone please suggest if increasing tyre width would be a good choice or no? For aesthetic purposes.

But I really want thicker tyres on my scrambler.

Please enlighten me with pros and cons.

Hi there,

I just bought 2012 scrambler 900 last week and I can’t wait to start modding it. I’m going to get rid of all the chrome but I have a question. I don’t like the OG handlebar and I’m thinking on getting an Evo Protaper. My question is has someone tried before? And if so could you send pics 😅😅

I have use them in the past on my off road bikes but I would love to see one in a scrambler before getting it.

I know I have to change the clamps and everything but I think it may be worth it.

** any other recommendation is also welcome.

I’m just curious. I know the T120 has a slightly larger gas tank and the exhausts are different, but are there only a few subtle differences or are they completely different bikes in terms of frames, forks etc ? And if anyone has ridden both, which do you like better, and why?

Haven’t been looking around, it’s been about 6 months since I last looked. Surely there’s one out now right? Right??????

I am planning to buy a quad lock mount as I am about to do some long distance travelling with my first bigger bike, the tiger 660. I am going to get the kit with the handle bar.

I want to get the charger too, but I have no idea whether it will work with the bike or not, and if so, how it will fit.
Where does the cable go?
Also, usb or hard wire?

I have a 2022 street scrambler with a ixil full exhaust I installed. Ixil told me that the exhaust would not need a tune, but it falls flat on its face above 1/4 throttle. I tried the relearn and it is the same.

What options do I have for finding a tune? I know tune ecu is the cheapest and I see maps for a street scrambler sandstorm edition which I have. But, it only says up to model year 21 even though the sand storm edition was a 2022.

So if anyone can help me I’d I would appreciate it. I will be riding my Valkyrie until I get it sorted.

I have the opportunity to buy a 2-year-old pearl white street triple 765R with 7500km mileage for around 6,400£
The model from the current year-end sale is for about 9000£ and brand new - almost 10k £

Would you consider this a steal, given the price?
Seems mint condition. No scratches, few addons like SW-motech crash pads and such. Need a belly pan and fly screen for my taste but these are pretty cheap

Its probably off warranty after 2 years but authorized service for bikes is pretty much overpriced joke where I live. I would be better of finding mechnic to fix the bike when needed.

Hello everybody! I have some doubts before buying my bike and one of them is a Triumph (well, two models).

First of all, around this time a year ago the 900 gt pro 2024 were announced, so my question is. is there any word on the 2025 models or when they will be announced? It may have some interesting new features so maybe I should wait.

Next is to state my case. I currently have a Honda Forza 350 and would like to change to a bigger bike, and the one I like the most is the Tiger. I have tried both the 850 Sport and the 900gt pro and I don't know which one to choose. The use I give it is 90% city + intercity and 10% routes. Do you think that both bikes for city also work well? They seemed manageable, but I could test them very little time.

Which one would you choose for the use I'm going to give? Do you recommend them? I don't like the 850's display as much as the 900's, but the 900's has a bit of lag and it's a bit strange on such an expensive bike. The difference with the offer is about 1800 between the 850 and the 900. Is it really worth it? What I would put on them is the quickshifter to go more comfortable around town.

I'm evaluating other options, but the Tiger is the one I like visually the most. The other options are Honda NC750X, F800 GS 2025, Yamaha Tracer 9 2025 (Y-AMT).

Thank you very much!

Hello fellow “triumphants”, what aftermarket 19T sprockets are you using for a Triumph 865? I’ve looked far and wide but I can’t find one except on eBay. I have a 2013 Speedmaster 865. I am assuming that the same 525 pitch sprocket would work for all 865 engines (Bonneville, America, Speedmaster etc.)

Out for a Sunday spin on an abnormally mild December day.

I've been having some random issues lately where when I press the ignition button, nothing at all happens. It's as if the button was disconnected. And then I just try again and again and again, and suddenly the bike starts perfectly. But I'm afraid that one day, I'll be stranded and it won't start at all.

I don't think it's a problem with the battery (brand new) or with the engine, I think it's purely a loose electrical contact, but I don't know how to pinpoint where it is exactly.

It could be the kickstand sensor, the clutch sensor, or the ignition button, or the wires anywhere in between.

One thing I tried is, when it doesn't want to start, to maintain both the clutch handle and the ignition button pressed down, and to turn the handlebar. And there's a magic angle where suddenly the bike starts (slightly to the right). So I think it confirmed that the problem is some electrical connection.

I inspected it visually but I couldn't see anything wrong. How can I pinpoint exactly where the connection is bad?

Beginner rider, got the bike mid October. Didn't have great weather the first few weeks so trying to make the most of it while the weather is decent. Was about 6C yesterday when I was out on it.

Loving it so far, feels so nimble. Had a Bandit '09 for couple weeks before when doing my test which felt a lot heavier (top heavy).

850km on the odo so the first service due very soon. I've bought SW motech crash bars that I'll have installed when getting the service. I've also installed the SW Motech Kobra handguards. Not sure what's next, most likely I'll invest in an airbag or the helmet brake light. I've already got quite decent gear.

Kicking myself a bit for not waiting for the 2025 lineup to be announced given that the tiger 660 got some lovely standard upgrades but oh well...

I'm loving the bike, very versatile, fun, easy...
However I noticed that the engine is idling high, around 1,500 rpm, confirmed with a scanner at the dealer workshop, but they say it's ok, within range, nothing to do since it's controlled by the ECU.
Seems like a counter measure for the engine cut offs reported, but it's annoying me a bit.
I guess it only translates to higher gas consumption and radiator fan work, but if it can be improved somehow, I would like to know.
Any experiences related to this issue?

I'm going to buy a Tiger 900. There is just something I like about it. I don't know why.

Recently there is a 900 Rally Pro just popped onto the market. Low milage and decent price. Distressed seller 😔.

Is the Rally Pro a bad idea if I'm only going to do mostly on road, touring miles on it?

Certainly will get dusty and muddy from some of the trips but very much on road.

Bad idea?

I've been looking at luggage options for my Tiger 1200 Rally Explorer and can't help but feel the options can be limited without spending an arm and a leg on the official triumph ones.

Was really leaning towards the Viking Bags but they all say they don't fit. Am I missing something?

I’m in Houston, TX and can ride year-round, thankfully. I bought a 2024 Bonneville T100, and the mesh jacket I bought at the time is decent for the warmer day, but recent cold fronts have shown me I need something for colder days. I mainly ride for my commute to/from work and on weekends.

Any recommendations of good colder weather jackets or advice on what specs I should look for? Thanks!
