Not got all the gear yet!

👏👏👏

You will find that most people in the biker community see anyone on 2 wheels as part of the tribe, a 125 is still a motorbike my friend so absolutely you will be welcomed into the bike shed regardless of engine capacity and licence status! Enjoy your visit mate.

Wow, that’s interesting, I’ve just been given a Beta app to try called BluCap go. It’s similar to Cali and they plan an Android release in the future. I’ll post a video soon.

Literally just time it afterwards with a stopwatch against the GoPro footage. I’m going to be trying out laptrophy on my phone next time out it’s a gps timer app!

No problem mate. It’s the expensive mic that does it haha!

Thanks for the pointers @Focused_Veteran , really appreciated. Thinking about it if I could remake the video I’d include gearing too. Let’s see if I can put it into practice next Tuesday. Check back in a few weeks I’ll follow your advice and see if I can get sub 2m!

@@sweet-triple-UK No worries bud, you'll smash two mins, people tend to hang on to gears down through craners and up the hill, but you really want to be driving through the gears and not just sat on limiter. best of luck 💪🏻

@Focused_Veteran just been checking out some of your videos mate (have given you a cheeky sub) defo getting my advice from the right source 🫡 what bike are you riding? Sounds like a 1000 ZX10maybe?

​@@sweet-triple-UKah thanks buddy appreciate it 👍🏻 haha not sure about me being the right source 🤣 but I know my way around Donny and a few other places just about lol. I race on an R1 bud, 17 but very far from standard.

​@@sweet-triple-UKalso subbed too 😉

Just about Calvin 😂 heading back again on the 17th, see how I get on. Will post another more Vlog style one hopefully.

Unfortunately it is not free. Think you can do a free trial though

No I don't hate my mechanic apart from when he gives me the bill, and yes you are bang on there, I should have used the blue loctite. So if you order some of these bolts from the factory they come pre thread locked with this chalky red stuff, hence why I bought and used the red. The thing is there aren't many use cases where you'd actually remove these bolts I don't think, correct me if I'm wrong. I think it was a recall or something as well at some point. Now I believe the Triumph mechanics do use loctite on them. I'm not 100% certain but did some reading into it and thing that it is Triumph spec to use Loctite. Any triumph Mechanics help out with this one? Out of interest what date was your service manual published maybe before the recall? I don't have a service manual so I can't be specific and confirm one way or the other. Think I'm going to ask my dealership, see what they say.

@@sweet-triple-UK To be honest, I didn't notice (or remember) if there was any residue from factory-applied loctite (or equivalent) the very first time I had them off. The service manual (mine is Part Number 3856909, issue 1, 11.2012, from VIN 560477) is very specific when loctite or equivalent needs to be applied to bolts etc., and it does not mention any need for it on these bolts. In some instances, the service manual specifies that new bolts or fixings has to be used, and often glue comes pre-applied in those cases. That is not specified for these bolts either. Triumph can have had made a recall and change in policy at a later date, as you mention. If you have a link to a official resource where such recalls and changes in service instructions are available for us lay-men, please share. That would be a valuable resource. For good measures, I just double checked the manual (using chapter 4 page 7, describing the re-installation of the clutch cable) and only the torque spec of 7 Nm is mentioned, no loctite. Examples of the top of my head when I've removed and refitted the bolts in question: Replacing the clutch cable, removal and lubing of the throttle cable, replacing the throttle cable, replacing the front brake cable (ABS unit to lever), full access to dash/keylock cables to fix worn outer sleeve, and running new cabling from battery to USB outlet on the handlebar. Ride safe :)

I’ll have a look mate, for me with the potential consequences of these working themselves loose imma always have em loctited in regardless for peace of mind. I’ll check my Haines manual see if it says anything there and do a bit of sleuthing., see if I can find what I read previously.

Can’t find my original article but here’s something I just found. Granted in a forum, will keep looking www.street-triple.co.uk/index.php?topic=27473.0

Right, I can’t find it in my Haines manual, (but believe I may if I spent some more time) however I have just phoned the triumph service centre (Stratford upon Avon) and they have confirmed that these bolts need loctite applied. I believe your first edition manual is out of date. Keep an eye on those bolts if you haven’t applied loctite mate. Check out some of the comments on this thread and the Street Triple page on Facebook , you will hear a mixture of stories of accidents from these bolts working loose. And watch the beginning of my video where the bike wouldn’t turn. It’s honestly scary mate!

Really? I used it for a short time in Spain and it found some great roads. However I only used it for a handful of rides and it may not have been long enough to bottom out any issues. Thanks for watching and helping other subscribers to be informed of your issue. Can you share more of the things that are wrong with it so others can see the pitfalls?

Thank you for the detailed information, I’m assuming you own one? How long have you had it for?I really enjoyed the 40 minutes I had on it and I think it looks great! But TBF that isn’t long enough to realise the floors. I would like to try one off road to see what it’s like. Yeah I do struggle with suspension geared towards lighter riders. Didn’t notice it on the roads I was on but off road may shine a light on it. Thanks for watching mate.

Bought march 2023 . First and last ducati I'll buy. I've had a few warranty claims ,from the oil leak on the lower timing belt pulley , new forks as i used it offroad a few times and havent since forks failed,new clocks as water was getting in behind screen a couple weeks ago,blue tooth issue, warped front disc going through warranty at moment , 8557 miles, after doing the nc 500 , various trips and just got back from isle of Mann I'm getting a african twin , AT slower yes .don't handle as good yes, More comfortable yes, more reliable yes, better build quality 100 percent yes, do a couple hundred thou mile yes , the des x be lucky to do 60k miles with out getting a very big bill after warranty has gone lol 😅

@@Rust_valley_adventures Ah man sounds like you've had a nightmare! Hope it all goes well for you. I am also partial to the Africa Twin, my mate has one and it's lovely!

@sweet-triple-UK it's all been sorted with no issues from dealer and sorted pretty quickly and they been great it's ducati italy that ain't very good lol ducati uk been excellent , lve owned loads of bikes from mx/enduro bikes ,super motos ,super nakeds to full on 200 bhp track bikes and I love the bike but the niggles has left me not wanting another Italian sausage lol it is a real good bike but if you use it as its intended/advertised to be used, ie offroad, rain or shine , 600 plus miles a day riding (wales to Scotland ) you soon see/feel the short comings even with after market wind screen and other upgrades etc it's not a proper long distance bike, if you out on it for a couple hours and want a big grin it's good but don't belive the hype about it as its far from perfect, some owners love it, I known a few that hated it because of issues, the ones who.love it have multiple ducatis and got lots of money and not alot of talent and spend lots of time at coffee shops and bike meets with all the gear and no idea lol for owners who back ground is offroad riding they find it lacking very quickly compared to say a ktm 890 adv R for offroad performance . No bike is perfect but for what I'm using it for there's better bikes out there

@Rust_valley_adventures I’m pleased they have sorted out warranty and been sound about it. Goes a long way for brand confidence. It’s also good to have viewers/subscribing with personal experience as that’s what’s this is all about creating a community where we can share information and experience. I've checked out your channel and can see you do a lot of proper off roading. I have to say there was also part of me that was like, if it was my own money would I want to take a £15k+ Ducati off road for a start? Yes the KTM's have the pedigree too! How was the classic TT? Looked like a good one. Need to get over to the TT soon, it's on the bucket list!

Thanks bud!

So there’s another comment on this video where a chap describes a good course of action. It kinda goes in the order of replacing Battery, Starter, Charging system. Check out that comment. Good luck!

Hey, do you tried Skyrich batteries ? 230A sounds good.... ( original yuasa only 135A ) BTW i have same issue with my 2021 765 rs.... :/

@@mark_proz702 not tried a Skyrich battery no. Anyone else?

I really enjoyed it, shame to not get the chance to do a few miles off road.

Mate it’s super easy and there’s other tutorials on TH-cam I’m sure.

Bit of Back Sabbath or Led Zeppelin - Now you’re talking, I do have speakers in my helmet for that though that aren’t affected by the wind, engine and road noise🤷‍♂️. But yeah you are right maybe I’m not used to the Harley style of riding just yet relaxed cruise open face helmet at 50mph blaring the music.

Horses for courses mate.

It’s top notch isn’t it! They’ve got their own YT channel as well if you want to see what goes on behind the scenes.

@@sweet-triple-UK I'll search for that right now 👍

Some of the episodes on their custom bike builds are pretty cool, think they are opening a new second baffle house soon too!

@sweet-triple-UK I saw that, I started watching watching the first eppisode, it's in Cardiff isn't it?

@@rickyfinn2763 yeah, I just checked. It’s between Cardiff and Cowbridge maps.app.goo.gl/VhVB5c7cwzSf9ptr6?g_st=com.google.maps.preview.copy

Yeah defo found it mate!

Enjoy it mate, bike shed is ace. What bike did you get?

Ah, sí, he tenido este problema antes con otras empresas, definitivamente debes asegurarte de configurar un recordatorio para cancelar las pruebas gratuitas antes de que se agoten. ¡Así es como te atrapan! Encontré la aplicación realmente buena, aunque no la querías, ¡espero que la uses, amigo mío!

Yeah some of the bikes I saw there were defo more edgy and appealed more to me (I’m in my 30s) the Sportster s for example, or the Fat Bob

@@sweet-triple-UK the sportster S imho is rather ugly. It's what I would expect an out of touch elder to design to appeal to the younger demographic. They need to look to Triumph, Indian, Moto Guzzi or even Suzuki to understand classic design. Same with the Fat Bob. They are trying to be ''futuristic' in their design. I appreciate them trying, but their designers are just out of touch.

That’s why I ride a Triumph 😉

​@@brentharrington9235 It's too bad HD ditched the Bronx sport bike.

Yeah that would be the first thing I would do. I was surprised how much that big fairing didn’t keep me out of the wind blast!

Yeah I’m more into my sports bikes, but keen to build a collection of different bikes. Good choice mate, I enjoyed riding the Road Glide, I prefer the look too! Yeah I had a couple of times where I felt the throttle response was quite choppy! Hope you enjoy it man!

Ah you lucky man lovely bike. Yeah I’m used to riding a bike that revs out to 14k+ so I was probably very ham fisted with it. I appreciate a lot of the power is low down on these. Out of interest, why did you pick the Street over the Road?

@@sweet-triple-UK My prior bike was a Ultra Limited (same bat-wing firing) so that made an easy transition. As for Street Glide vs Road Glide - several reasons. First it LOOKS more like a the way cruising motorcycle should look (in my opinion). Next the Road Glide just reminds me of my old Honda Goldwing and Yamaha Venture Royale. The two bikes are close and someone once said - get the bike that makes you smile when you go to get on, and the Street Glide does that for me. Lastly, everyone over on this side of the pond is swarming to the Road Glides, and I like to be different.

All great reasons, enjoy it mate!

I went Street Glide because of the looks. Whiskey Fire and Black Chrome option reminds me of the bike I couldn't get 25 years ago.

@@JohnNewton-ev8ch Good choice - Enjoy it man!

Haha 😎 Thanks mate

Somewhere in the vicinity 😉

Ah man, I'm jealous, hope you enjoy it!

@@sweet-triple-UK Thank you pal.

Oh strange, I'm looking at the app now and when planning a route I can see road names. Not sure about when navigating though. (Will test it next time I'm out and about) Best bet is to contact their customer service team (I am no expert just liked the app so made a video about it)

Ah man, I hear a lot of people saying this. I guess I never experienced it the other way so wouldn’t know the difference. I understand your point about the kerbs. Went over the bus stop kerbs as you’d kind of expect to and almost spat me off the bike!

The Serket is noticeably louder than the stock exhaust, but I wouldn’t say it is too loud. The SC is apparently much louder than the Serket. I’m not too sure about Competition Werks but I’ve heard they are loud! The only time it’s been a bit droney is on very long rides that I do about once a year when I go on the annual tour but I wear ear plugs anyway and would recommend anyone riding a motorbike do the same (Auritech are my favourite and cheapish). General riding it just improves the exhaust note and turned it up a few notches in volume. Haven’t tried it with the baffle out yet mind.

Yes you can download the maps and use offline. Files are large so only download the maps you need and you're good to go! Thanks for watching.

Dooo ittttt! You won’t regret it!

Thanks for watching and for some really useful nuggets of information there. I will defo keep an eye on the starter motor if the issue persists. I also wonder if our generation also suffer with the reg/rec issues of old. I’ve heard some say that triumph fixed this issue in the newer model 675s (2014-16) but also some saying that they are all the same!

@@sweet-triple-UK yeah the R/R was such a weakness on the earlier models. It was mounted towards the rear of the engine and the heat would eventually fry it. The unregulated current would cook the wiring and connectors and eventually killed the stator, a pretty costly affair. They changed the R/R and it’s bracket I believe in 2013 so that it’s facing towards the rear wheel, in a cooler spot. They very rarely go bad on the new design as far as I’m aware!

@@SanderG97 Ahhh that's great to know - you have a lot of knowledge on the STR 675 it seems. I'd benefit greatly from picking your brains in the future I'm sure!

Ugh, having same issue with a high mileage daytona (80kkm), new battery, valve check, throttle balance, tried couple different maps, adjusted ISCV, injector cleaner, tested CPS and RR. All seems good, but still won't start like it used to. I was hoping it wasn't the starter motor, but time to go look for one, thanks. Not as easy to get parts in canada haha.

@@SimacXIII Yeah, tbh my issue is creeping back after making this video, just like @SanderG97 said (thanks sander) I'm going to be fitting a new starter motor soon.

Oh nice, will have to check Scenic out! Thanks for watching.

Sometimes the extension needs a wash too!

Thanks dude! Nice to have you on board!

True Dat!

Inside the zone mate. If you don’t know - bikers don’t get charged for riding in the congestion zone - makes total sense to me! Thanks for watching.

@@sweet-triple-UK ok cool thanks I’m not that far from London but never go there especially on my bike hopefully heading to the bike shed Saturday if the weather is half decent

@@dazzerf8392 hope you enjoy your trip mate!

Cheers @StreetMotoZ it’s appreciated!
