  1. Maintenance & Workshop Talk
    Hey, First post after a long time lurking, really appreciate the community here. Got a Triumph Street Twin 2018, it stands outside (covered and sheltered) but still outside. It's been getting colder and I haven't been able to find a good place to store it for the winter so I planned on...
  2. Tiger 900 Mods & Workshop
    Looking to install two cables to the Tiger 900 for a phone and heated clothing. On my previous bike, Ducati, I connected direct to battery, no trickle charger, rode the bike at least once a month, and never had a problem with the battery. Was planning to do the same with the Tiger 900, but...
  3. Sprint Forum
    Hi all! Please bare with me on this. These are things that I've notice or had issue with over the past couple months of my 06 ST ownership. Bike has just over 13k miles. 1. Should shifting into gear and between gears be so notchy? Seems to me that unless I'm shifting at a lower RPM around...
  4. Air Cooled Twins Technical Talk
    Hey new to the forum and tried finding the answer before posting, had no luck. I recently got a 2012 T100 Bonneville as my first bike. I use it every day to commute to work (30 miles each way) and I ride a lot in the evenings and weekends). This weekend the bike cut out at traffic lights and...
  5. Maintenance & Workshop Talk
    I had a Yuasa YTX12-BS battery in my Triumph Bonneville T120 which worked very well for me. After it died, my mechanic put in a Fire Power CTX12-BS which was a surprise, given its negative reviews. It is cheaper than the Yuasa, but only by about $20-30. I would rather spend an extra $30 than...
  6. Daytona Deliberations
    I have an odd problem. Took the bike apart last year to look into a problem, and only just got around to putting it back together. Didn’t pay any attention to the battery, you don’t do you, the just go back how they came out. Anyway, gone to put it back, and the terminals seem to be round the...
  7. Air Cooled Twins Talk
    I've always had this annoying issue with my 2012 T100 where if I don't ride the bike for 2 or so weeks, when I come back everything turns on and lights up, but when I hit the ignition I only get a clicking sound, no cranking or turn over. I always take the battery out and charge it on my NOCO...
  8. Water Cooled Cruisers - Bobber, Speedmaster
    I just had what I think is a dead battery but just bump started the bike and got it home. Luckily I was parked on a small hill. I will pull the battery and check it out more in the next few days. If it is just the battery no big deal since this is the original battery anyway. The odd part is I...
  9. Speed Triple Forum
    I believe I have figured out what was causing my intermittent Battery system fault > Transmission Fault issues that started recently. So, this thread is just to put out what I believe should fix the issue. I did do some searching and this fix was mentioned, but I wanted to title and tags to be...
  10. Maintenance & Workshop Talk
    Hi all, Over the winter I ordered a new Yuasa battery to replace the ~7 year old factory one (particularly because I didn't put the Battery Tender on before leaving for the winter. This spring after charging it the current battery seems to be strong. This leaves me with what to do with the...
  11. Tiger's 885i & 955i - Mods & Workshop
    Hey all, I recently bought a 2005 Tiger 955i as my first bike, so this will be my first post here. The old battery definitely needed replacing on it so I went ahead and bought a brand new battery as well as changed the oil. The gauges worked fine when I test drove it with the old battery, as...
  12. New Member Introductions
    I got my '08 Triumph Bonneville a few weeks ago. Left the key on and took the charge down to nothing. I push started it, it ran, but like an overtimed scrambled egg. Held the RPM up to charge the battery within five minutes and the tail pipes glowed orange, the it blued the exhaust so bad all...
  13. Classic, Vintage & Veteran
    Hi all, I recently posted about the bikes I inherited from my father. I intend to get his 69 trophy restored. It hasn't been ridden since 81 (according to the registration). He kept it covered & garaged so the rust is pretty minimal. The first step is to get it running. On the good side, he...
  14. Water Cooled Cruisers - Bobber, Speedmaster
    Is there a video on how to change the battery of a Speedmaster Bonneville 2018? I just need to know where is it in the bike and how to get to it.
  15. Air Cooled Cruisers - America, Speedmaster
    Can anyone share a video or a link to a video on how to change the battery of a 2018 Speedmaster Bonneville? Also, what is the best battery for the bike?
  16. Maintenance & Workshop Talk
    2020 Bonny T120. The last couple rides I have stopped for a coffee, bike off, come out after 20 minutes and the bike won't turn over. The battery doesn't have enough power to start it. I charged the battery, lasted two rides, and it happened again. I put the bike in start position and the fuel...
  17. Air Cooled Twins Talk
    Hi there, was wondering if anyone could help me diagnose my 2009 Bonnie SE. I have owned it for a year with pretty much no issues, aside from that I dont drive it a whole lot, maybe three times a month on city streets. Last night i tried to start it and it gave me the "click noise" and would not...
  18. Sprint Forum
    Hi Everyone, Here's the bike i'm contemplating. TRIUMPH SPRINT 1050 - 2006 - motorcycles/scooters - by owner -... All the boxes are checked, except that when i went to see the thing, I turned the ignition to on, let it sit for a few mins, and then when i went to start it, it would not fire up...
  19. Street Triple Forum
    Here's a video of me starting it up this morning. As you can see it takes a few tries. It's not cold out, like 70+F. You can hear it just sort of cuts out after a second. I have a brand new Yuasa AGM battery so I'm positive (hehe) that's not the issue. Any ideas? In the afternoon on my rides...
  20. Air Cooled Twins Talk
    Hello everyone! I have come across yet another starting issue with my 2008 Carbed Bonnie. The previous starting issue was resolved after replacing the old starter relay (the headlight would not turn off/on and the starter relay emanated a light clicking sound when attempting to start). Today...
