Is the 06 Speed Triple getting any fixes or changes that anyone is aware of?

MonkeyHanger · 10-24-2005

I spoke to my dealer on Saturday. The only change is the addition of the white; italian dealer insired colour scheme.
The rest are identical.

White was also offered for '05 buddy; no change in colors at all.
I suppose most of the earlier bugs are worked out already, like malfunctioning instrumentation, bad coolant houses, etc. However, some '06 bikes still have some of the complaints, like mushy brakes and backfiring with stock exhaust.

Hmm, I don't think white was offered on the '05's unless it was VERY late in the model year.

That's possible; I started looking at the S3 late in the model year. Two folks have white '05s on this board, and it also showed on Triumph's website.

Correct. The '05 colors were neon blue, scorched yellow, and black. White was not on the Triumph site until the new model year. The original white one was a custom job by the Italian importer, but white ones from the factory were first spotted in late summer, and I think you will find they were titled as 2006 models.

Sorry for the confusion boys. I was speaking from a UK point of view, where hite is new for the end of 05.

I've always puzzled at why all the makers release next years 06 bikes late in 05. In my simple logic you can call it 06 but its really 05.

:hammer:

Calling my local Suzuki dealer this morning to take a look at the 06 GSXR1000 !!!!!

I've got white, and on my paperwork its says its an 06 bike

White is a 06 model. For some reason Triumph lauched the 06 model range in the middle of the summer 05. Propably they ran out of the original 05 batch.

Hi folks

First post. My wife and I have 05 and 06 S3s, the only obvious difference is the header pipe on the 05 has a round cylinder at right angles near collector joint, this is absent on 06.
