1999 Triumph Trophy 900 Questions & Answers
No spark at plugs
Removed the sheathing on the seven-wire harness coming out from under the tank,may have been a poor connection in black-wire connecting link in the alarm system wiring harness between the light-gray-with-blue-stripe wire and the black-with-orange/red stripe wires, which in turn was intermittently shutting off the igniter box and resulting in no spark and the bike not starting. Re fix this

Well, did you check your CPS? (Crank position sensor), do you have power coming into the coils? With out the impulse from the CPS, to tell the ECU to send the power to the coils...It ain't gonna start.
I am rebuilding my 96
They are formed differently at the bottom, to allow the crankshaft counterweights more space to turn, and at the top, to allow the space needed for the fitting of the external cylinders. Easy to notice - align them in front of you on a flat table and you will notice the difference just by looking at them.
Key slides into lock ok
Sounds like the Steering lock has jammed a little, best to wiggle the handlebars gently when trying to turn the key, and hopefully the key will turn, releasing the lock.
Hope this helps.
Mu triump turns over but
Try pulling the air filter out and hit it with a shot of ether. If it pops you got spark and its a fuel issue. If not-check the spark plugs,points-if it has them,or possible coil or coil fuse. If it has old fuel it will need cleaned out of tank and carbs cleaned as well. Always run bike dry of fuel before storing for any length of time. Hope this helps.
Triumph Trophy 900 sounds top
I disbelieve what "they" are telling you however, if this sound is abnormal to you and has drawn your attention to it then I'd say it's your bike telling you there is something wrong.
I've worked on engines for almost 50 years now from 1 to over 700 horse power they all talk to someone that listens and understands the sounds sort of a mechanical language.
Here are a few of the things the engine may be telling you.
Pre ignition would be my first guess without hearing the sound myself, this is an easy fix by using a better grade of gas with a higher octane rating. I have in the past carried small pre measured containers of octane boost and dump one in the tank at each fill of 87 octane gas.
If your pump gas is below 87 then that's the problem and if yo do nothing about pre ignition it'll destroy the pistons and the engine if left.
Another thing is one or more valves out of adjustment "hydrolic lifters" or not they do get sloppy and could be due to poor oil, wrong oil viscosity/grade, just worn out engine oil needing a change that fix isn't a total fix but changing to a better quality oil check your manual to see what is recommended, not all engine oil is created equal.
Another thing is the overhead valve system is driven by a chain, this chain has a tension-er and if it's worn this chain becomes loose and will rattle in there something real bad. Not only that because of the slack in the chain it will alter the valve timing which will no doubt affect the engine performance and possibly cause pre ignition. If this chain is loose and not serviced it will brake and I've seen them where they had almost cut the engine into two pieces.
So you got pre-ignition, poor oil, cam chain or even to lean a gas mix at high speed which will cause pre ignition as well.
I have renewed regulator and
check your floats and float valves...it sounds like the engine may be starved for gas as the float bowl empties (and runs again as they slowly fill again).
I have owned a 1996
I suppose if the fault cannot be traced, fitting an isolator relay or switch in series with the battery would cure your problem. They are readily available from car shops and fairly innexpensive.
Without seeing and working on your bike, I could not begin to suggest the cause.
Hope that helps.
I have a Motorola Patrol
You can take the alarm off of the motorcycle. The wiring should be very easy to put back to the original. The receiver to the alarm will have the ignition wires cut and the box spliced in the middle. You can just cut the wires on the alarm and splice back the original colors to colors. For an example the blue wire will go back to the blue wire. The red to the red etc.
Hi I have removed all
No. Not at all. The fairing is for nothing but looks. Won't change a thing as far as the carbs are concerned. Unless it is part of you air cleaner system. If that is the case, just go buy K&N filters for it. They sell them or can get them at any bike shop!
1997 triumph daytona 955i. Battery. Is not charging while im riding it. Why ??
There are several possible reasons why the battery on your 1997 Triumph Daytona 955i may not be charging while you are riding it:
- The battery may be faulty. If the battery is not holding a charge or is not functioning properly, it will not be able to charge while you are riding the motorcycle.
- The charging system may malfunction. The charging system is responsible for supplying power to the battery while the motorcycle is running. If the charging system is not functioning properly, the battery will not be able to charge.
- The voltage regulator may be malfunctioning. The voltage regulator is a component of the charging system that regulates the voltage supplied to the battery. If the voltage regulator is not functioning properly, the battery may not be able to charge.
- The battery cables or connections may be loose or damaged. If the battery cables or connections are loose or damaged, the battery will not be able to receive a charge.
To troubleshoot the problem, you should start by checking the battery to see if it is functioning properly. If the battery is not the issue, you will need to check the charging system and voltage regulator to see if they are functioning properly. If the problem persists, it is recommended that you have the motorcycle inspected by a qualified mechanic. They will be able to diagnose the problem and recommend the appropriate repairs.
