How frustrating when you are all togged up and looking forward to getting out on the road, I hope it's not too much of a pita to locate.fabiostar wrote: ↑Sun Apr 07, 2024 3:48 pm well today as it was windy but dry i got kitted up and went out on the Triumph, or rather i would have if it didnt have total electrical death other than indicators horn and brake light , checked the fuses, all ok, still no life including dash lights and starter button.. wheeled it back to the cave and chucked it against the hedge..
Is there a cut-out tilt switch on it I wonder?
There must be something in the air, as my trusted cordless drill/driver started to malfunction on Friday, it has an intermittent problem of not working, right when I need it. Removing and replacing the battery gets it going again until I take my finger off the trigger,

At least you now know why the previous owner sold it....fabiostar wrote: ↑Sun Apr 07, 2024 3:48 pm well today as it was windy but dry i got kitted up and went out on the Triumph, or rather i would have if it didnt have total electrical death other than indicators horn and brake light , checked the fuses, all ok, still no life including dash lights and starter button.. wheeled it back to the cave and chucked it against the hedge..
Impressed that you have a hedge in your cave, though. There's posh- I barely have room for the spiders.
It's not falling off, it's an upgrade opportunity.

Re: what have you done to your
In fact, as far as jokes are concerned. You could say it was a non starter
My new ride is a bit of a Howler and I love to make her Squeal

Re: what have you done to your "bike" today
Pete yours was even worse specially the second time...
Poor Rob, it's like we are ganging up on him... First it's his non starter then his hight stumpiness.
Shortistism & Starterism...

Re: what have you done to your "bike" today
Did a few bits on Rothburg.
Raided Franks stock pile & fitted a hugger.
Removed the lowered foot pegs & fitted some std ones.
Removed the gash blue bar grips replaced with some from stock.
Took the mahosive plate off & fitted a wee one, can get to the seat lock now. Was going to fit a bracket for the plate but found the undertray has been glued on with lashings of silicone . So that's a no go...Bah.
Took the fairings off to find the sidelight wire as it wasn't plugged in. Sorted that & had a mare getting the fairing to line up. Its a Chinees aftermarket job I had to enlarge the holes so I could use the correct shouldered bolts but the top right side bolt would not line up. Dug out a bracket from an F2 as they are steel not the ali as per the early bikes, bit of a tweak & it lined up.
Of course it started spitting so that will do for the day.
