This is a real improvement over the 2011 Speed triple I had previously. The transmission is a lot smoother. The lighter wheels decrease rotating mass, and make the bike seem to want to turn in to a curve quicker. This model seems to feel more like the Street Triple, with regard to flickability, than the '11 Speed Triple.

I'm going to have a lot of fun playing with the Ohlins suspension, as soon as I get some information on adjustments!

Take it to a specialist, I tried to sort mine myself, to no avail.
Then took it to a local specialist, who sorted it for me. The difference is amazing. and all for just £80 ($120) worth every penny...

You need to get the Sag (Front & rear) set for your weight, until that it done you will be wasting your time.

No, the 2013 model is the same as the '12...well maybe better headlight lenses that don't crack but no promises.

Welcome to the forum. Please add the Year to your main motorcycle , so if you have questions or mods in the future you don't have to keep telling us its a '13 , we can see it at a glance

Was your 11 a round headlight model?

The New wheels do not "seem" to help the bike turn better , they do help the bike turn quicker

By the sound of it the revised gearbox should have trickled into all versions of the Speed Triple now , though there is no word on where the VIN Split is for the Normal bikes that get the new box .

The '11 had the bug eyes, not the round lights.
