There's funny and there's weird which one was this? I wonder 🧐🤔

Hello from South Wales {old, not new!}. A bit of a heads up for you, re warping discs. I went through two front sets on my now 20 year old Suzuki SV thou, the originals as well as a replacement pair off eBay but last time got a pair of EBC ones with HH pads that claim to have a bobbin design that inhibits warpage. Can't recall how many years they've been on now but there's no sign of the nodding dog syndrome when pulling to a halt. If you decide to keep the Triumph, give them a go. All the best to you and yours.

Mines a 94

Cairns hey? Lotsa nice riding if u can dodge the coppers. Good review.

Hello, do you have photos of how you hide wires? I have the same bike and the front light was broken, but when I opened the headlight I was surprised as it has tons of connectors inside.

I also own a 93 ...norwegian man 72

Great summary ! 🙂

I moved the shift lever up one notch and that stopped the missed shifts. This bike is super stable at 100 mph!!

Happy to see you got it reassembled! I took my headlight apart in the wrong order and thought I was screwed with all those springs and little pieces falling out. It took some finessing but I also got mine put back together 🤙

Is 20w50 oil recommended for these motorcycles?

Great video

loved it

The ST 1200 is a great motorcycle, great sound with stock exhaust.

In the UK we can quote the Sale of Goods Act, and another act I can't remember the name of, from 2015, which states "that goods should be of merchantable quality and fit for the purpose intended" which you could argue that the discs are your bike are not fitting that criteria. If you had done 30 000k+ maybe they would have some defence. All the best with getting resolution.👍

I've got a '93. Runs great.

This video is a little bit brilliant! Couldn't quite make out what you called that fella at the end as i don't speak Japanese 😎 subbed 👍

I bought one 1 month ago.. first thing i struggling is the throttle lack of a bit of friction on the ride by wire system! I have a propper light/relaxed hand on the throttle..the spring if though...maintain a locked acceleration is killing me

Fuuuuck. I’m not even 40 and that opening line hit hard - that’s exactly why I’m back into riding right now 😂 life is lonely and rough right now , so I just want to be out exploring and riding in my downtime. Okay … now I’ll watch the full video!

Hi Nick. Another Nick Here, I too have a Speed Twin & about an hour ago while browsing TH-cam I found your first video about the day you got yours. I immediately subscribed (number 600),You are good at this video lark. How could your dealer not put in a warranty claim for a warped disk? In the UK the warranty is 2 years, a Disk is not a consumable , I hope Head office "explains" to your service centre that just fitting a new Brembo disk is cheaper than a lot of bad publicity .. Sorry for the long comment but i'm very drunk on Australian Red Wine....Hic.

Just got one of these.... I know that is not that elegant.. but try a knee grip... Improoved so much my confidence in riding this bike.. unbelivable!.. As its have a massive engine breaking and has slick/smooth gas tank... was the second mod that I made

All Triumph oil filters are the same apparently, apart from the new 400 models.

Interesting, well done, looks like alot of hard work. And time, here in the UK we can pick up those off eBay fairly cheap, for about £17 ish. I suppose depending where you are in the world parts may be hard to come by, I suppose you have to improvise and make do with what's available at hand. Thanks for the vid.

no way could a fireblade do 180km in first gear!?!? I seen YZF-R1's ridden hard first gear 85km then upshifting. maybee 3rd?

Will this fit on an 82?

Thanks man

I have a question about the two hoses that are on the back of the carbs, a short one and a long one.. they are coming out on the right side in this video, near the top. they run the same way on my bike, but there are two holes in the ais system that is opposite the air filter, where other carbs have those same hoses running. where do these hoses end up going into? thank you for any advice.

Hey Nick, thanks for the great owner’s review. I’ve only got about 2000 klms on mine but no problems, touch wood. I put a decat on mine a few months ago but didn’t get a remap as the maker’s web site said not necessary. Seems to run smoother than stock, if anything. Sounds beautiful now, not too loud but noticeably fruitier. You deserve those discs replaced under warranty, good luck. BTW, the Triumph radiator guard is worth the small $.

It was a good video but what'd you do about your cam being off point on the second one?

Such an easy removal on the 750, a bit of trouble on my 1100 86’ I picked up, I had to relocate the fuel pump to the left hand side since the new exhaust pipe comes out of the frame where the fuel pump rests. I will post once it is finished

Nailed the guitar riff, loved it and the other music too. It is such a cool bike, I love that you own this because I would love to own one but it's not a bike I ever intend to buy. Those problems you listed - there's a few too many for my liking from a bike you've owned from new - and the idea that rotors are just "done" after 16000 is absurd, that's a joke. Glad Triumph came to the party. Loving your bike, keep the videos coming. I'm amazed that your dealership made a special guest appearance at the end of the video..

My bike ( kawasaki) is in workshop this week getting a new rotor front disc after 84,000 km. Shows what a rotor can do. That's the first of your vlogs I've watched but won't be the last . Very cool and the guy, well he's just a guy without a bike I guess !.😂

I love an Aussie sense of humour.

Came for the Speed Twin content. Stayed for the flute and opera.

I hope the warranty gets sorted. A musical view of a warranty claim, cool. Ride well. Cheers

Dude, several of us in the states have had the left piston fracture and take out the top end while going down the road. Mine got covered under warranty, others did not and got $8k repair bills on a 1 year old bike with 3k miles on them. All 6 bikes that I know of, it was the left piston, breaking in the same part of the piston where the top ring land meets the machined valve pocket on the face of the piston. Piece comes off, smashes the valved and spark plug, and takes out the top end. BOOM. I also had the warped rotor, but they said it was normal. lol Not sure if I will buy another Triumph... Which is a shame, as I have owned 8 or 9 or them over the past 12 years...

Dayum that's pretty damn cool, hopefully they fix it and don't screw you around with the warranty.

I have test ridden a few bikes but when I get back on my speedy I love it even more .

Had a warranty claim with my 2022 speed twin indicator switch at Pidcocks motorcycles (uk) All sorted not a problem. great video and good luck with the dinner plates.

Hopefully they will honour their warranty.

Nice musical interludes Nick.

Brilliant editing! 👌

For the trip meters, Trip 1 I use per tank of fuel, Trip 2 I use since the last oil change. What a lovely bike, and it's good to hear you've found the right bike for you. Great job on the 1 year review.

Video bombed.

Wow! I can't believe that guy, so rude.

Sorry to ask a stupid question. Does the bike has to be in neutral gear or In gear with clutch pulled?

hey mate do you take the postie bike back home or do you leave it at the facility?

DIS-TURB-ING! ! ! THIS 1200 SPEED TEIN GUY, "GOT ME". JUST AS HE "SAW ME" CLOSING MY EYES HE KNOCKED ON THE "BACK"OF MY IPAD. ….WELL DONE STRANGE PERSONALITY DISORDER, BIPOLAR MAN….

My son brought me a xv in pieces... thanks for this video.

Hi from Czech Republic. I love the bike already. I have street scrambler 900, grey, call him Gandalf, love it. It is hard to let him go..., but I love the looks of speed twin 1200, stealth... I am afraid of the riding position a bit comparing to the scrambler, but I guess I will not resist and do the move.
