Thought I would remind you guys of the brilliant 31 page summary of tuning tips/tricks in the download section.

It's under the Technical aids and information section.

Hats and wigs off to jj_rider!

I'm slowly working on V.12 with updates, adds and a reformat.

Who are you? Where do you come from? Are you an alien??? Is this common knowledge on your planet?

How about this: I crate my bike and ship it over to you to play with over the winter.
You're awesome! :upthumb:

Thanks for sharing!

Even better than Spooner's offer, how about I send you a ticket to sunny Singapore so you can enjoy the winter in the tropics helping us poor sods with Triumphs get our bikes sorted? I'd have to tell my wife you were some sort of distant relative though...

We now have an awful lot of Triumphs in this country. I heard we just passed 30 Triumphs in the whole of Singapore. Of course, that includes old ones that some guys are keeping in their Garages.



Seriously though, with only 30 sales since the mid 90's is it any wonder that Triumph HQ appoint a new dealer here every few years... we have a few thousand Harleys here, and a squillian Japanese and Italian rides but not many British Bikes. Still, that's one of the nice things about owning a Triumph. I can go to the local biker bar and there are 50 Harleys there, and everyone comes by to look at my Triumph...

Sounds good to me. Minnesota is a frozen hell in the winter... which starts in about 2 weeks, by the way.

I know what you mean by the frozen hell in the winter, I grew up in Northern BC near the Yukon.

Why do you think I now live on the sunny equator?

Yeah, I spent a few years kicking around Central America and the Carribbian, but I have always had a thing for Asian food and beauty, not in that order.

So Singapore has worked out well...
