Hi again Dave, The guys have answered your questions for me already so I wont dwell on them again. I will only add contact your local Triumph dealer they should be able to tell you if such things need doing.
The only prob I have with my center stand is getting the bike on it on my own. :hammer: There just has to be a knack to it though just like a coal man lifting a bags of coal all day. Nearly put my back out last time I tried on my own. I don't have a paddock stand but sure am considering one, my backs getting to old for that lark. :???:
As a bit of history my bike came with all MOTs and service history, done 36,000 miles, one owner before me, I bought it via eBay as well. The owner told me he traveled all over Europe on it and it never missed a beat, never let him down but as he is only 5' 4" and well over 60 he told me he had to let it go and bought a 600 Fazer which he compared to the Trident as a scooter in comparison.
The Trident was one of Triumphs original first models and Triumph obviously wanted to show the biking world that the new Triumphs where a million miles away from the old ones, reliable, oil tight and well engineered. In fact some say the Trident and the other models were over engineered, whatever that is supposed to mean. :???:
On a closing note the new breed of Triumphs (93 on) must be good, the yanks here like em and they take no sh*t . Enjoy that Sprint M8 I'm sure you 2 will have many happy years together and put many happy miles in. :-D
