    HELLO THANKS FOR YOUR TIME
    THE BATTERY HAS A CHARGING ISSUE, EVEN AFTER BEING HOOKED UP TO A CHARGER EVERY NIGHT, THE BIKE STARTS IN THE MORNING WITH NO PROBLEMS ON CHOKE MODE. AFTER IT WARMS UP THE BIKE DIES AT IDLE. THE DEALER TELLS ME THE CARBS NEED CLEANING THATS WHY, BUT I'VE BEEN STRANDED AT INTERSECTIONS IF I DON'T HOLD THE THROTTLE A LITTLE, OR HAVE IN CHOKE. WHEN THE ENGINE IS WARM IT SHOULD START WITHOUT CHOKE, WHEN IT DOES IT WILL SHUT OFF IN SECONDS, AND AT TIMES IT DRAINED THE BATTERY RIGHT OUT OF JUICE IF I KEPT TRYING TO START IT WHEN WARMED, BUT AFTER IT SITS FOR A WHILE IT STARTS AGAIN AND THEN THE SAME PROBLEM

I need more details. Is it quitting because it fails to get spark because it is not charging? Or are the carburators gummed up enough and it runs out of gas? Has this bike been setting? If you are able to run engine with a battery power supply on it then it wouls seem to me a charging issue, but if it is stalling and only runs with the choke out or partially out, clean the carbs.

I have a Triumph Speedmaster. just bought from dealer, only done 6000 miles, just been serviced. When I am travelling at slow speeds with the throttle off I put the throttle back on again and there is a...
As the engine runs better when the choke is partly applied it does indicate a fuel starvation condition, though the ignition system might not be entirely innocent.

It should not be your problem though as you have only just bought it from a dealer who has supposedly serviced it and I expect you paid a parcel of money for it too.

You should return it to the dealer straight away for rectification free of charge.

When a person buys something it is on the understanding the something is of merchantable quality - that means it should work as intended for a reasonable length of time and if it does not the dealer or retailer has breached the contract made with him until he puts matters right.
That basic legal principle transcended any written or implied warranties.

Good luck!

The bike sat for maybe 5 or 6 years.when I bought it it had 800 M on it so there could be a carb issue.Ive had it to a local repair shop and the triumph dealer I bought it from to try to get the problem...
I have never seen heaters on motorcycle carbs. Your carbs do sound like they have issues with the low speed *(or idle) circuit.

You could take the carbs off the bike and have them soaked in cleaning solvent and reassembled. This should do it. Did anyone at the dealer or repair shops do a complete carb overhaul/cleaning?

You shouldnt have to run the choke for more than a couple minutes under most driving conditions. Of course, factory carb jetting is almost always excessively lean. You can go on Ebay and get a Dynojet stage one jet kit for your bike too. Improved driveability with only a modest reduction in fuel economy. Cost about 90 dollars.

Good luck and be careful!

If the bike is fuel injected (FXDI), you need to take it back to the dealer and have them take a look at it. There is no "user adjustable" settings on the bike.

Charging problem
stopped for lunch back on bike it started fine. About 20km later I heard the engine revs on my speakers running autocom of the bike the speedometer started going mad jumping from 30km/h to 220km/m, all over the place. The last time this happened was in France and the bike did not start again, battery was flat, bike shipped back to Ireland. Back in Ireland the dealer kept it for few days, battery was fine just needed to be charged, could find no other problem with the bike. While this time I rode straight to the dealer, about 20km away. When I stopped the bike was dead, no power. They did a test and said the regulator is faulty. Was waiting for new one from Aprilia but it did not arrive today so they took one from a new bike. The bike is charging when reved but does not want to charge at idle so they need to go fishing for the fault. It now also seem my clocks are broken as a result of al of this. ,Check to make sure that all of the chassis grounds are free of corrosion and properly connected. I have never had an issue with charging at temperatures ranging from below zero into the mid/high thirties (Celcius). Even at low speed you will be turning 3000-4000 RPM which should have the charging voltage between 14-14.5 V. Put a multi meter on it and see what voltages you are getting at different RPM's,,,
