Hi I’m new to the forum and could do with some help, the display on my 2018 765 r will not come on when I turn the ignition key. When I press the starter nothing happens, the only thing that comes on is the daytime running lights and the tail light + break lights work, I thought it might have been the battery so I’ve installed a brand new fully charged battery but the problem remains Any help would be greatly appreciated

It does matter what order you connect the battery cables. When removing a battery, always take the negative off first. When installing a battery, always connect the negative last.
I let it sit for 5 days but it still not switch on...

I'm not quite sure what letting it sit for a few days is meant to achieve. There is no capacitive function that would take more than a second or two to discharge. Are you thinking there is some moisture inside that you want to dry out?

I was thinking maybe there was a capacitor that needed to discharge. We had a tiger 1200 screen that failed to turn back on after removal of a battery. It was left unplugged overnight and we got it to work the next day when trying the "failed download recovery" procedure in the service manual. But it was unclear why it started working again.

Another update:
In November 2023, I had a minor accident which resulted in the left headlight glass being broken. Upon finding that it was necessary to replace the entire headlight unit at an exorbitant cost, I claimed on my insurance. It took almost a year to agree the claim and I rode the bike to Triumph for agreed repairs on 11th October, at which time it was working perfectly, and handed it over to GB Motorcycles.
On Thursday 17th October, I received a WhatsApp message from the “Service Advisor” advising “Mr Alan, I want to inform you that your instrument meter is broken due to a short circuit. The bike is unable to start.” There followed an exchange of messages and a complaint to Triumph UK. Eventually, I've been offered a 50% discount on the price of a replacement (which is 53% more than the price in UK without VAT) and free installation. I've suggested that they send the unit to Autotronics instead.
Stay tuned for developments!

Leave the battery off for a few days. There have been couple people that have had their display come back.

Unfortunately, Autotronics could not repair my unit so I'm having to go back to GB Motorcycles who will charge me the equivalent of GBP750 to replace it. All credit to Autotronics who refunded the charge of GBP200 and half of the courier fee since there was no point in returning the unit.

The service manual states that the battery NEGATIVE terminal must be removed first.
Selling my "broken" TFT here: Triumph Street Triple 765RS 1200RS Tiger 800 850 dashboard T2501347 - READ | eBay
Hope it helps someone. I REALLY don't know how broken it is...

What a sad day finding this thread 
2018 Street Triple R here. Dead TFT display after attempting a battery swap. I disconnected the negative terminal first because that's what google said to do. DRL's and brake lights work, no horn or blinkers. Towed it to dealer and they want $1800 to replace.. what a debilitating blow it was to hear that. I'm in the US and have 19k miles on the bike, haven't had much in the way of issues until now other than a leaky stater cover gasket when I first go the bike with 1600 miles. Disappointing triumph won't take responsibility for what is clearly a faulty display that clearly should have been recalled.

The least Triumph could do, imo - since this seems to be a flaw, is sell us the replacement TFTs at cost.What a sad day finding this thread

Looks like this sold and for $500! Not bad for a broke display - I've been keeping mine around for no reason....maybe I should try and sell as well...
No - some guy bought it and asked to cancel the order and I allowed it. So mine is still available. Am not available to ship it til August 10th, though. So if you are reading it and wanna buy it - that’s the earliest I can send it out.

See my previous post in this thread. A UK firm called Autotronics can repair them for £200. You need to send your unit by courier to them. In my case they couldn't fix it so they refunded the £200 and the return courier fee as there was no point in returning it. Worth a try!

Perhaps hooking up an external 12v supply to the bike’s battery cables, before disconnecting them from the battery, and leaving it on until the new battery is fully connected, could avoid this issue.
