    Any Bike Mechanics out there?

    in Off Topic Discussion

    Posted

    I'm guessing from your problems that this is a 1050 speed triple? Possibly a few years old? They had major trouble with the can bus system and corrosion problems in the clocks due to water ingress/condensation which caused the dash functions to fail. As for the running issue, as long as it's been serviced recently so that you know the plugs, air filter and valve clearances are good and throttle bodies are clean and balanced, a re map at your local Triumph dealer should sort that out. I don't 'think' the running issue will be connected to the dash problem unless it's so bad it's not reading sensors correctly. I would thought if a sensor is 'out' (water, maf ) it would throw a cel.

     

    Yes, thanks for that. It is a 2006 1050!

    Not wishing to sound too thick but what is the can bus system?

    I will pop it along to a dealer and have those things looked at, are the clock expensive to replace?

     

    Many thanks for your help :thumbs:

    central (or car) area network, dreadful invention that makes all sensors and sub-systems 'talk' to each other via a central point and if one of them is having a bad day all the other come out in sympathy. Well, it's not as bad as all that but there used to be a lot of problems with it and as they work on minute voltages, any corrosion/damage throws a big spanner in the works.

    New clocks are very expensive but beware of used ones that could well be as bad as yours. Unfortunately there were a couple of years that this was a major problem, and yours is one of them :thumbdown:

    Hope you can get it sorted relatively cheaply :)

     

    Much obliged :teeth:

    Got a couple of problems with my Speed Triple, hopefully someone can point me in the right direction? :bangin:

     

    1/ On board computer doesn’t work, speedo and rev counter does the clock shows the time but can adjust anything!

     

    2/ The bike seems to have a fuel problem. It runs fine when cold, but when you slow down to town riding and the bike is hot it seems to flood a bit and I have to rev it up to clear an then I cant get full throttle under load etc etc.

     

    Any tips would be great, a decent bike mechanic in the North East would be great too :thumbs:

     

    Thanks in advance

    I think they are rather good and much more discreet than the parking sensors.

    I have it on good authority that XVision are planning on launching a good aftermarket one but I don’t have any details as yet.

    That's cheap, its £1055 the first time around :scare:

    Almost a reason not to buy a new car - :sorry:

     

    Tell me about it, having a nightmare with the bigger engined stuff because of this sort of thing.

    ah happy days or saving and loading progs on a tape recorder :teeth::blush:

     

    Yes, I had a BBC and I remember trying to load "Elite" by cassette, it was ready by the time I got in from school :scare:

     

    Funny you mention that I was looking at an article on Elite only the other day.

     

    I was not lucky enough to have a BBC computer so I only got to play Elite on the Commodore 64....

     

    One bad decision I made was getting an Amstrad CPC464 :thumbdown: what a pile of cack but then we know Lord Alan has been responsible for some rubbish over the years :lol:

     

    My cousin had a Dragon 32, wasn't bad but I had his life for it :lol:

    Amazing progress. I also thought No. 27 was incredible. It just shows the detrmination and dedication of the workers out there.

     

    I also feel a strong sense that sadly should our country have suffered the same fate, we would not have the resolve and ability to make as much progress toward recovery in the same time.

     

    I was thinking the same thing.... :headhurt:

    My tour of hell is over...yeehaa...

    Just picked up on this thread.

    It never ceases to amaze me how much stress folks are put under needlessly in this day and age, if you could just get on at your own pace much more would be acomplished. I have to deal with it every day, and I only pedel cars, I am not perfroming heart surgery. So pleased to hear that you have not got the position you obviuos deserve, and I am sure you will be much happier and fulfilled. Best of luck :thumbs:
