Dave The street triple came out way before the Moto2 engine. They are completely different engines. The 2020 765 Moto2 Daytona, which I own, has an engine completely designed from the ground up and uses a highly modified Daytona chassis taken from the 675 Daytona. I bought the bike because it is now a collectors item. It's the last Daytona Triumph states they will ever build or sell. Great video Dave!!! 👍👌🤙🖖✌
Actually, if you read triumphs marketting, that's not the case. They developed the 765 engine for moto2 and possibly due to ever tightening emissions norms. When they released the 765RS they splattered moto2 over all the promotional material and its a vastly different power plant from the 675 Street triple. The daytona765 has this same engine in a slightly different state of tune. Also, that's a lovely bike you got :) wish you many smiles on it
A HA! Validation is good: over multiple adjustment rides/setups for my 2019 765RS, I've always gravitated pretty much towards where dave ended up with the last bike. And the rear is still a bit spongy. I'm thinking of getting stiffer springs for both front and rear (don't know the front stock spring rate...) so there's more adjustability headroom available. As usual, great stuff!
I must disagree. I've toured on the RS, and I have gone 1 tooth down on the front. It's plenty fun and comfy on the road. The suspension, especially, can become very plush should you like it that way

Thanks for the comment/ I believe it will be an appreciating asset.

Thanks :) Yes, the rear dos benefit from a much stiffer spring!
Awesome videos dave.....do you know when and where you'll be having a set up event near the central valley/ Modesto CA area? Thanks.
Also interested? Thanks
I do not have an event set up yet in Modesto. My schedule is here so take a look at some open dates: davemosstuning.com/calendar/
My God the front end on that first bike. How can a shop send someone off on that?
Not their responsibility, nor their concern. They have no training for set up.
I miss my 09 675 r with adjustable sus. Such a nice bike. Now on an mt09 many years later and it has such terrible suspension.
True by comparison. That can be fixed easily with the forks, but the rear shock has to b replaced.
The RS is a great bike for track use, the S is a better bike for the road.
