I just recently (like last week) got a 2025 Speed Twin 900. When it was delivered to me from the dealership it had the orange wrench icon illuminated. Claims it needed service two months ago (03/2026).

Figuring the dealership just forgot to reset it, I turned to TuneECU. I hook everything up, get connected, tell the app I want 8,000 miles or one year for service - and get an error.

I checked everything online. My bike's date is correct (05/21/2026 as of writing) and I was setting the interval date for 05/21/2027. I deleted and reinstalled the app, made sure it was fully up to date, cleared the cache, tried turning the ignition off and on again.

I'm kind of at my wit's end and am desperate for advice to just get the wrench to go away. The dealership is an hour and a half away, so I'd rather not drive it back out there so they can push a button.

Can anyone give any guidance?

If any of y'all are on Instagram, you might have seen ads for the Rippl Tailback. It's advertised as being a backpack and tailbag in one, able to be strapped down to the bike whilst riding and able to be worn on your back whilst off the bike. I bought one some time ago and thought I'd share my experience.

Disclaimer, I'm a new rider and haven't gotten out and about much yet with it, so grain of salt and all that.

Pros:

It sits pretty securely on the bike when strapped down and it's as comfortable as you can really expect when wearing it. It expands and collapses pretty well, so it has decent internal volume but you can get it out of the way when you need to. It seems to fit most any helmet. Both my Shoei X-15 and my HJC V60 (with the peak on) fit just fine.

Cons:

It doesn't have any Rippl branding on it anywhere, which leads me to believe its just a generic Temu product that's being dropshipped on Instagram. That probably would've stopped my buying it if I knew (not a Temu fan). Most of its volume is vertical when expanded; meaning that if you're trying to carry something long-ish like a laptop it probably won't fit.

Conclusions:

I got the bag exclusively to carry my helmet and gear when out and off the bike. In that capacity - it works just fine. It holds my helmet and other stuff, plus my little envelope that holds my insurance and registration. If you want it to do, like, anything else, it probably won't.

Does anyone have recommendations for auxiliary lights for the Speed Twin 900? I'm going to look at a 900 next week and, if I come home with it, I want to put some extra lights on it to both augment the headlight and make myself more visible.

When I say "high-performance racing cars" think the 2008 Speed Racer movie.

If you had those cars and that style of racing in a multi-planet sci-fi setting, how would cars on different worlds be developed to either take advantage of local gravity, or work around it?

Say you have a racing league on Earth and on Mars. How would Mars' vehicles differ?

I currently have the 2024 400x and the headlight is pretty bad, as I'm sure most of y'all know. I'm going to upgrade to the ST900 and I'm curious if the headlight is any better or needs to be upgraded?

Hey all, I'm currently looking at replacing my first bike - a Triumph Scrambler 400x. To be clear, I'm not looking at replacing it because I've 'outgrown it' or anything. As I've ridden it, I've discovered things I prefer in bikes I didn't realize I wanted before.

Mainly, I don't like the height of the scrambler. With the near 33" seat height, I really struggle with feeling comfortable at stops. I'm 5'10", but due to a curse of genetics my inseam is barely 30" - if that. So, I want something notably shorter. I also prefer a fully digital instrument cluster.

Also, I figure that, even though I'm still new, if I'm going to get something new, it might as well be an upgrade - just a conservative one.

So, I'm looking at the Speed Twin 900. It seems like it's a reasonable upgrade without being extreme and has everything I want in a new bike. I have no interest in anything any bigger than this.

Thoughts and opinions?

Basically the title. Especially on posts asking if X bike would be a good purchase, someone might say something like, 'it's a good bike, I road one for a while, but got bored of it'.

What does that really mean? I'm a new rider and have only had one bike. I get slowly discovering things you dislike about a motorcycle, but I don't quite understand getting bored of one. Could someone explain?

Hello everyone, I wanted to pick y'alls brains about my next bike. I'm currently riding a Triumph Scrambler 400x and have some gripes with it.

Firstly, its height and top-heaviness. I have a 30-31" inseam at 5'10" and its a bit of a pain to manage sometimes. Secondly, I prefer fully digital instruments and the headlight kinda sucks. It has plenty of power for what I use it for (mostly pleasure riding on country roads), but I do want my next bike capable of jumping on the freeway if I have to. Definitely would prefer to avoid highway trips, though.

All of this has lead me to the Speed Twin 900. Digital instruments, much shorter, a conservative bump in horsepower and torque, etc.. However, I've been encouraged to investigate its big sister, the Speed Twin 1200.

This is where I'm having some trouble. From what I've been told and found out on my own, the 1200 does not fit stipulations as well. Analog instruments, a bit taller - but enough horses to tackle basically anything.

As I'm writing this I'm kind of answering my own question that the 1200 is just more bike than I need and the 900 suits my needs better, but I'd still like to hear from anyone familiar with the bikes about their relative strengths and whatnot.

Hey all, I currently ride a scrambler 400x and am considering an upgrade at the end of the riding season, hopefully when prices are a bit lower. I've been really considering the Twin 900 as my upgrade.

My 400x is too tall for me. With a 31"ish inseam at 5'10", I have to tiptoe a bit and, with how top-heavy it is, it can be annoying to manage. I'd much prefer something shorter. The main headlight isn't very good, and I prefer a digital speedometer.

With the relatively conservative bump in horsepower (at least as compared to something like an SV650), it shouldn't be an overwhelming jump in power... I think. I also really like the low-end torque numbers.

I really only ride for pleasure, with occasional commuting. I adore the style of Triumphs. Do y'all think this is a solid upgrade?

Hello all, I've been thinking about my next bike recently and would like some input. I currently ride a Triumph Scrambler 400x and have some minor grievances with it. The more significant of the two is that it's quite tall for me (the seat height is almost 33" and my inseam is 31"ish at 5'10"). Also, I prefer a purely digital instrument cluster including speedometer. I also don't care about off-roading, so I don't really need a scrambler-type bike for that.

I really don't want a huge upgrade over my scrambler, to be clear. Mostly just something different in a few ways and a slight uptick in capability would be nice.

I've been eyeballing the speed twin for a while now. I don't need a huge jump in horsepower, it has a fair chunk of torque, a much lower seat, and the digital speedometer. However, the Honda CB750 was suggested to me and it's tempting. The Honda reliability speaks for itself and all of the digital features on the Hornet are also attractive. Though, I do actually worry that the Hornet has too many fun gadgets - potentially causing a distraction.

Regardless, I intend to check them both out, as well as perhaps the Suzuki SV650. Sit on them, take a test ride, etc.. I would like opinions from anyone who has experience with the bikes, though!

Basically the title. If the kickstand can handle the weight then it makes getting turned around in a parking spot easier. Appreciate any input.

Let me explain. When I get home and park in the garage, I hop off a do a quick 3-point turn to back the bike in. But, if I'm out in a public lot that's busy, I don't want to be dicking around with my bike in the middle of the road. I'd also rather not tiptoe it back out of a spot when I'm leaving and risk someone not paying attention.

Let's assume pulling forward through the spot is not possible and you have to leave the spot the way you entered it. How do you handle the situation in a busy parking lot? Do you park, then pivot the bike on the kickstand or similar?

Hello all. I'm thinking about a speed twin as my next bike, but I'm not a huge fan of bar-end mirrors and I have a set of Doubletake mirrors I'd like to use them on the twin. Does anyone know if the Doubletakes are compatible with the twin?

Hello all. I've been beginning to, mostly for my own amusement, poke around for a potential next bike. I'm currently riding a Triumph Scrambler 400x and am still pretty new to riding, so this upgrade would be at minimum a year or so away.

I've had a few thoughts. Initially, I was thinking Triumph Speed Twin 900. It's a relatively conservative bump over my scrambler, it has the fully digital instrument cluster that I like and has the lower seat that I want (I'm aiming for a 30"-31" seat height). However, I was also considering the SV650 for the extra bells and whistles and Japanese reliability. Then, someone suggested the Honda Hornet CB750. Now, that thing has the bells and whistles, to the point I actually wonder if it might be distracting.

Right now, I'm leaning toward the Honda. To the best of my knowledge, Japanese bikes are the pinnacle of reliability and Honda is the pinnacle of the Japanese brands. My car, which I use for most things as I ride mostly for pleasure, is a 2020 Hyundai Ioniq, so I like my digital gadgetry.

All that said, I'd love some more opinions and thoughts. Especially if one or more of these options are too much for a second bike/someone on their second or third year of riding.

Hey all. As the title says, I bought an INNOVV K6 front and rear camera for my Triumph Scrambler 400 and its been giving me attitude. To simplify things, I'm just going to paste below the post I just made over on r/INNOVV_Official . Any and all help or advice is appreciated.

"I've had my INNOVV K6 front and rear camera on my Triumph Scrambler 400x for about 6 months. Today, I realized it hasn't been functioning well.

I was almost hit today and went to pull the footage off of my camera using the INNOVV app. Not only did the app struggle to function (the WiFi signal went in-and-out at random intervals) but the footage wasn't there. I had a bunch of random, 20 or so second clips with seemingly random timestamps, including January of the year 2000.

Finally, the adhesive provided to secure the cameras to the bike had almost given out. My front camera has, unbeknownst to me, been on the verge of falling off completely.

Is my camera faulty? What do I do to fix this? And yes, it is hard-wired into the bike. Whenever I open the app and get it to connect, the live stream from the cameras always works.

Help?"

Basically the title. I have the Cardo Packtalk Edge and am considering a Honda Hornet CB750 as my next bike. Does anyone know if my Cardo compatible with Honda Roadsync?

Hello everyone. I've been thinking about my second bike and would like some input and suggestions. Right now, main ideas are the Suzuki SV650 and the Triumph Speed Twin 900.

I currently ride a 2024 Triumph Scrambler 400x. The main things I dislike about the bike are very minor. For one, my car has a digital speedometer and I'm more used to that than an analog one, which the 400x has, so I'd prefer a digital one in future. Also, being (at least in theory) off-road capable (edit: also not interested in off-roading), the 400x is pretty tall. I'm 5'10", so I can mange, its just not always comfortable. I want to be able to flatfoot, something around the 30"-31" seat height is ideal.

I really like the style of most Triumphs. I love the classic look. That said, the more modern look of most nakeds nowadays is growing on me. So, as long as it isn't too sporty, I'm flexible with appearance. I really don't care about how much 'character' or what have you that the exhaust has. As a matter of fact, I'm not the biggest fan of a loud exhaust. Don't like bothering the neighbors.

I've heard some people diss the SV by saying it's boring. Or, at least after enough riding it gets that way. I really don't mind a 'boring' bike. I don't plan on being a jackass on the road and just want to enjoy the ride. I mostly ride for pleasure and commute in the car. I've also been told the SV can really move if you need it to, which is actually almost a con for me. Like I said, I don't plan on riding like an asshole, so any performance above, say, 70mph (for overtaking) I don't care about much. The SV does have a ton of bells and whistles though, such as automatic indicator cancelling, which I can appreciate.

I've also heard some people make weird comments about the Triumph. I've always heard Triumph's build quality is nigh-unimpeachable, but some have also claimed that, as some bikes are assembled in India, that could be called into question. Not sure if that comes from a place of fact or not.

To be clear, I plan on sitting on and test riding anything that catches my interest. That said, would love some thoughts, opinions, and other suggestions to investigate.

Hello all. To be clear up front - this is a ways off. I'm still pretty new and have only had my starter bike (Triumph Scrambler 400x) for about 6 months.

I've been having a teeny bit of buyer's remorse about my bike. There are a few minor things I'm just not a fan of with mine, such as its height. So, for the future, I've been doing research on the next bike. I prefer nakeds and lean toward a more classic look (hence the Triumphs), but you really can't beat the reliability of a Japanese bike. I also want something on the shorter side. I'm 5'10", but have to tip-toe my current bike a bit. Would prefer to flat-foot if possible.

Has anyone had experience with one or both of these bikes and has any wisdom to share?

Hey everybody, I wanted to ask how you guys get your bikes turned around. Between my car, my bike, and my girlfriend's bike, space in the garage is at a bit of a premium, so it's difficult after a ride to get the bikes back in and turned around.

Any advice for getting the bikes all sorted without either breaking our kickstands turning them or doing an Austin Powers 28-point turn?

Hey all, forgive me if this is silly, just want to get some thoughts out and hear the thoughts of others.

I just got my M2 endorsement (literally, I passed the MSF this past weekend) but I've had my bike for a while and been practicing a lot on private roads and in parking lots. I really like my bike, I just have some complaints - it's a Triumph Scrambler 400x. I got it second-hand for 5k with 2,000 miles on the odometer.

I've already been thinking about the next bike someday and am feeling kind of stupid about it. I feel like getting a new bike at any point in the next few years doesn't make any sense, plus I still have a SO MUCH learning left to do on a lower horsepower machine before I get myself into trouble on something bigger.

I've been eyeballing the Triumph Speed Twin 900. It's only about 24bph more than what I have now, almost two inches shorter (my scrambler is a bit tall for me) and I really don't have much desire for off-roading. It also has a purely digital instrument cluster, which I prefer over the scrambler's analog speedometer. The scrambler just crossed my path and I jumped on it.

So, I guess I'm feeling silly for a few reasons. One for getting a bike that wasn't perfect initially and already thinking about replacing it. Anyone have any words of wisdom or thoughts to share about it? Anyone have experience with this sort of thing?
