A short video of me on my 660 Trident - wanted to show how well the quickshifter works, all gear changes except 1st to 2nd and 2nd to first were doen using the quickshifter
Hi Andy, nice bike and and a nice little spin along the country roads. I could remember some of those roads, it had changed a little since I used to go along them, but a quick check on street view confirmed that it was the A37 etc.
Indeed, after the start of the ride I went right onto the A37 past the Mendip Inn towards Shepton Mallet, a road you would have probably travelled many tiimes in your youth. I then went left onto what is known as the old Frome Road. One of my favourite stretches of road.
Great bike.I ordered mine with Quick Shifter,Frame sliders,Bobbins & love it. I took it easy on Quick Shifter when running bike in but once at about 500km used it more & more makes a huge difference shaves about .8-1second off changing from 2nd-6th. The mirrors shape is fantastic allowing great vision behind you.I done 3100km now & got a Evotech Tail tidy & Evotech Radiator guard & Hepco Becker Grab Rail too & it looks alot better now.Getting me a Ermax Nose 👃 fairing in about a month's time same colour as bike & tank.I got black bike with white decals on tank.
Thanks for the comments - yes they are great litle bikes. Back in the day I had a couple of air cooled Triples, the T160 ad T150 this bike still has that lovely Triple sound and is a lot quicker than I remember the T160 and T150 were. I am planning on an Evotech Tail tidy and Rad guard, also contemplating an Ermax nose fairing. Soon be time to put it away for the winter months, during that the "goodies" will be fitted. Enjoy your bike 👍
@@bikebloke5570 Trident 🔱 _ Tiger 🐅 recalled for wrong air hose. I just rang my Dealership & said I had to bring it in.Sounds like easy fix & free but inconvenient.All Tridents & Tigers from 2021-2023 models. Booked in 2weeks to do it.
@@ruahinesrider Had mine done a few weeks back by the dealer - a "safety recal" by all accounts. Felt like it ran a little better afterwards, but may be just imagining it.
Not had any problems with it as such. The recal was from Triumph to replace the MAP sensor pipe - aparrently they can cause problems, even stop the engine in some cases, it was not a problem as such but a Factory recall. If you are thinking of buying one take one for a test ride first to see if you like - you wont be dissapointed. Have fun !!
