Clutch drag at idle in 1st gear

So, when I first got this bike about 18 months ago (used, pretty high mileage), I had some trouble getting it into neutral when I parked up. Sometimes it worked, but sometimes the gear lever just felt locked up to the point where I would have to stop the engine to free it up.

Went on the DGR on Sunday and while queing up with hundreds of other bikes I figured it out. When the bike is well up to temperature and idling in 1st, the clutch starts to drag after about 5-10 seconds. You can feel the bike pulling forward a little bit.

Then I figured out that if I bring the revs up to about 3000, the drag disappears and I can shift out of gear really smoothly.

It's like the clutch is drying out when it's disengaged at low RPM's, then wetting up again when things spin up.

I don't think it's a problem, but has anyone else had the same experience?

A rainy ride out

I had a lovely ride despite rain showers. I didn't bother with rain mode, I just went into rain mode myself 😀. This is such a lovely bike to ride, I love the ever-present torque, good at rumbling along at 30 mph and amazing at zippy overtakes. Love it!

Distinguished Gentlemen’s Ride today

Did my first local DGR today, tons of fun and raising some awareness! Also there is a new Triumph dealer opening in my hometown and that in itself is pretty exciting.

OE Heated Grips Installed

Probably been posted before, but why not!

Pretty simple install overall with minimal tools needed, the worst part is getting the second wire through the bars as the first takes up space and makes it trickier.

Nice and toasty, well worth the time and effort!

Met some Distinguish Gentlemen in Suches today...

Had no idea DGR was today. Some very cool bikes and nice folks. Chatted for an hour or so. The whole ride was about 150 miles. Up to Suches then to Blairsville, then home.

Picked Her Up Today

It was an interesting journey to get the bike and get it home. Hot city weather and then cold and rainy mountain passes with high winds. A long day but, in the end, an adventure.

What's this plug for?

Hello everyone!

I've just brought home a used 2021 model. Gave it a quick going-over. Found this kind of plug attached to the left handlebar near the clutch. Looks accessory-ish/aftermarket. Anyone knows what it does?

Bubble, corrosion?

Took a pitstop and noticed this. Any ideas? Didn’t want to take fingernail to it

Sahara seat cover

Finally received my Sahara seat cover after waiting over a month.
Cover looks really nice, besides a few wrinkles from being folded up during shipping. Haven’t taken it out for a ride yet.

Their tracking is terrible, mine still says “in transit”

Did I make the best battery connector?

I needed a battery connector for easy access when plugging in a charger. I’d seen a few people run SAE connectors from under the seat, but I wanted something a bit cleaner, more concealed, and permanent.

I used an Optimate M18 socket and modified it slightly so it would fit neatly into the available space, wiring it directly to the battery through a fused connection. I also had to trim a small section of the side fairing to allow easy access to the connector seal.

When not in use, the socket is completely hidden, but it’s still very quick and easy to access whenever I need to connect the charger.

Help! Besoin de conseil pour la vidange de mon liquide de refroidissement suite a un acte malveillant.

Bonjour à tous,

J’ai retrouvé ma moto garée dans la rue avec deux soucis :

- Bouchon du réservoir de liquide de frein arrière disparu → J’ai déjà changé le liquide par précaution (impuretés possibles).

- Bouchon du retour de liquide de refroidissement enlevé → Je veux tout vidanger car impossible de savoir si quelqu’un a ajouté un produit.

Comment faire pour vidanger le liquide de refroidissement, d’après ce que j’ai vu, il y a deux options :

  1. Débrancher le tuyau sous le radiateur

  2. Utiliser la vis de vidange près de la pompe à eau mais je n'arrive pas à la localiser.

Et faut il purger le circuit après remplissage ?

Merci.

My favourite photos so far!

Picked up a 2023 Trident 660 last month and have been loving every minute with it so far. It feels like a perfect upgrade from my old Speed 400.

Here’s a few of my favourite photos so far from Loch Raven and Shenandoah NP.

Introducing my new Triple Tribute + a few questions

Yesterday I parked my new Trident 660 in the garage, incredibly excited for this upgrade. A month ago, I totaled my previous MT-03 due to poor road maintenance (loose gravel on a corner), and I'm still dealing with a few physical aftereffects.

The Questions:

Fuel Tank Cables: Are these cables that you can easily see through the fuel tank filler neck normal? I've never seen anything like that inside before, even with a zip-tie...

Break-in Period & Quickshifter: Regarding the break-in period (I did 100 km yesterday right after picking it up), knowing that it's "limited" to 4,000 rpm, will using the quickshifter by default do any harm?

Thanks!

Long crank

During the past few rides I’ve noticed a long crank then previously when the bike was new. Am I just being paranoid….

Original battery on a ‘25. All up to date on service.

Once the bike is warmed up, bike starts right up.

TIA

Regarding fuel economy

HI guys, stepped up to a 660 coming from a speed 400 and 660's fuel economy looks kinda weak. A full tank only last 200km as much. Is this normal?
