20 Most Recent 2004 Triumph Speed triple Questions & Answers

might sound a bit dull but is there fresh petrol in it that might be the problem or you need to change the plugs

Go to the site below and download a free service manual for your bike. You may not hit the exact year but the shifter and most other service items will not have changed. Some manuals are in foreign languages but in a worst case scenario you still have pictures and diagrams.

Make sure you have your stand up before you put it in gear. Some bikes have a stand switch that doesnt allow the bike to be in gear while the stand is down. This switch may have been damaged when the bike fell and now be malfunctioning.

When the engine is not running, ideally the points open at TDC...they will advance once the engine is running.
If you don't have a timing light, an old trick I used to use was to get a string of christmas tree lights that had 10 of those tiny lights in series. Why 10? 120V / 10 lights - 12V/light.
If you have a string with 20, you can take 2 in series, but the idea is to clip out one of the lights and put it across your points. slowly rotate the crank in the direction of normal rotation, and the light should come on as you hit TDC (ignition must be on, so remember to remove the sparkplugs!)
If they are off, adjust them, and either come full circle, or go back at least 1/2 revolution and then come back to TDC slowly.
It's an old poor mechanics trick, but I tell ya, it works well!

Well that is a good one. It is most likely the main shaft bearing as 6th gear is direct. I remember many years ago, most vehicles had a noisy gearboxes. I don't think, as long as the gearbox has the correct oil in it, much harm will come to it. So on balance, yes it can be perfect but at what cost.
I will leave that one with you.

Check the ECU.

Try spraying CRC or silmilar in the key hole and lean on the seat when turning the key....I assume its the right key?

Try giving the bars a wiggle and unlock it at the same time. You havent got a tank cover fitted? They can restrict the steering enough to make it tricky to unlock.

The paint shops are likely correct, but there will be a number of powder coating shops that may be able to match the color. The powder coaters, coat many things like pool fencing.
You may have some success if you sand back the cover ,apply a aluminimum etch primer and then an epoxy paint.
The powder coating will probably last longer, as the alloy will eventually corrode under the paint and start to bubble.
If its a show quality bike, you may need to dig deep and get a new one from the trumpy dealer

Ok , what you need to do first is to flush it out by removing the spark plugs and turn the motor over a few times to try to flush it out .
After that , get some fuel and pour a table spoon in each cylinder . try to turn the motor again a few time and repeat this action a few time to get rid of the coolant .
i would do this 4 or 5 times to make sure no deposits are left .
for the last time , put one more table spoon in each cylinder and put the spark plug back . try to turn the engin over a few time with the fuel tank turned on .
this should spark and start again .
it may be rough at first but once the fuel really washes through it will come back again to the way it use to run .
One other thing to do as well is to spray petrol through the air filter and this will help to start the bike with the fumes running through the carby .
try this and let me know how you go .

Parts Suppliers. The normal thing to think is "I'll just bypass them", but the tip over sensor cuts power to the engine if you drop the bike riding it. https://www.google.com/search?q=2001+Triumph+600TT+kickstand+and+tip+over+sensor ..

There are several possible reasons why the battery on your 1997 Triumph Daytona 955i may not be charging while you are riding it:

1. 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.
2. 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.
3. 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.
4. 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.

It sounds like the battery is flat. Turn the headlight on and try and start it. Does the headlight turn into a dim glow worm?

It is a known issue https://www.google.com/search?q=2005+triumph+america+no+power+to+start ..

Must be a loose connection in wires caused by movement. Inspect harness etc. Buy a clymer book for that model....for service&repair

That is usually indicative of a fuel supply issue. Check the Petcock is open and working. Strip and clean the carb fuel bowls and jet.

You are probably describing a frozen clutch caused by a long period of disuse - the clutch plates long pressed together under the pressure of strong springs have become frozen together. Sometimes only dismantling the clutch will cure the problem. Lots of people just keep the revs low and jam it into gear and hope the shock loading will do the trick. A much kinder method is to start the engine with first gear selected and go for a ride - changing gear without the clutch is quite a trick but possible. Keep the clutch lever pulled and by the time the engine is developing high torque in a high gear most clutches would become unfrozen...
