New 08 Graphite Sprint ST

[Naldo]

Allow me to introduce myself, I am Naldo. I just rode home from my Triumph dealer on a new ’08 Graphite Sprint ST. What a beautiful bike. I really appreciate all the information I have been getting as I have lurked about this excellent forum. Here is how I outfitted my bike based on what I have learned here:
ABS brakes, they work seamlessly and what the heck, I will take any help I can get.
TOR exhaust system with the remap. It sounds great, and I appreciate the performance bump.
Pazzo levers and heated grips.

I read the excellent post on “lapping in a new engine” and plan to follow the suggested methodology.

My other bike is an ’07 Bonneville T100. I built that bike based on what I learned in the Twin Talk forum. Now I have both an analog and a digital bike. I love them both. They really are a great compliment to each other.

Unfortunately, I have to go out of state to work on a job for the next 6 weeks. When I get home, I plan to go on a nice long ride through California on my new Sprint.
Thanks for all the great information. I look forward to being part of this forum.

Hi Naldo,
welcome to the Sprint forum of TriumphRat.net.

Congratulations on your new Sprint.

I hope you enjoy the forum and find it a useful resource as you have for your T100 from the Twins forum.

Enjoy

Congrats! Ouch, you will be "Jonesing" for the next six weeks imagining riding your bike. Once I bought a new bike and had to go out of town on business for almost a month. It seemed like an eternity.

+1 to what BMW said! The graphite is really a cool color. :

Almost as sexy as Sunset Red.

And as I gather a Graphite Sprint never needs lubing. It's about time, I mean we put a man on the moon, what, nearly 40 years ago?

Welcome, Naldo.

I also have a T100 and agree that it and the Sprint compliment each other very well.

Although the Bonnie is listed as my favorite bike, I've had it almost 2 years and have "tweaked" it to suit me.
The Sprint I've only had 3 months or so and I am still sorting it out - but I do have my "Tweak List" started.
