Hey, new to this site and appreciating all of the good reading, links and new information.
I have a '96 Trident (bought it new in 199
w/ 25,000 miles on it. I've taken pretty good care of the bike, except for one period of letting it sit for 8 months, and it still runs well and burns little, if any, oil between 4000 mile changes.
I'm due for some maintenance. I trust the guys at my local Triumph shop, but I'd like to save a few dollars and learn some new things. I just bought the Haynes manual for my bike, but don't have the factory service manual.
If I tried to make a living as a car or bike technician, I'd starve pretty quickly. I don't know much, but I'm interested and love to learn. With my previous bike and cars, I've done simple routine maintenance.
So here's my question. If I follow the manual and invest in the right tools, can I safely:
--replace the chain and sprockets?
--synchronize the carbs?
--adjust the valves?
I'll have no one to bail me out but the Triumph shop.
Many Thanks,
Jim Holland
