Experts needed-3 big questions
Posted this on the other forum too. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
I recently purchased a 2006 Speed triple (like 4 days ago). I have three main problems that I have been researching and have been unable to find definitive answers about. I tried using the FAQ but many picture links are dead.
1. I would like pictures of the two hoses that need to be switched to fix the gas tank suction issue. I have seen lots of expired links, but thought it would be nice to see pics before I start working on it this weekend.
2. My brakes squeak. They have tons of pad life left. I tried the old 60mph squeeze with throttle to clean the rotors…still squeak. Now I assume this has to do with question number 3. If not, let me know your thoughts here.
3. What are the top fixes for the squishy brake lever that will retain the original equipment? Or if keeping the stockers is a no go, what Triumph parts do I need to request and what is the procedure for the fix, or where is a link for a DIY? My brakes seem to stop fine. A heck of lot better than my SV. But the squishy lever is irritating and it gives me the heeby-jeebies. Do any of you just leave it as is? Is there any problem with brake fade, damage to the bike?
Like I said, I have tried the search function and come up with nothing, or only partial answers. All my local dealers were closed today, but from what I have read the complimentary brake fix only applies to 05's (my serial numbers are way after those designated as "effected"). Not trying to beat a dead horse-if there is a better way to search please let me know. I appreciate any help with links, pics, or words of wisdom.
Thanks,
B
