Battery loosing charge.

I have a 1997 Triumph Trophy 1200. Beginning this season I had front fork seals, chain and sprocket replaced. After getting the bike back, I experienced starting problems, low cranking power. Thinking the battery had been drained I charged it up. The bike ran great for a few days, then low cranking power again. I installed a trickle charger, plugged it in every night and all is good. Last week on a full charge the bike died, as in lost all power while at highway speed. This past weekend I installed a new, fully charged battery and within an hour and a half, the bike lost all power and shut down again. I have checked the fuses in the upper panel and all are good. Where do I go now?

Check your alternator/stator plate is putting current to the battery my guess is its goosed / multimeter across batery terminals should read 14.2 volts when engine is running if not its stator plate /check all terminals 1st with wd40 then chack again if it still persist then its ur stator burnt a coil

SOURCE: Triumph Trophy 1200.... The battery is drained of power

You have a pretty heavy drain on your battery. Find the fuse box. Remove all the fuses. With volt/ohm meter, read each fuse socket to find which one is drawing the power - when you find it ... investigate the circuit to find the short.

It may be that you are not making power ... your rectifier may be shorted which not only prohibits charging ... in some circumstances, it will actually cause a short to ground.

Oil level

Bit of a b%^&% to see it. there is a window low down on the left below and behind the gear level. it gets covered in crud from the chain. easier if you get a mate to slightly tip the bike while you lie on your side and check if oil move in/out of window. it should be halfway up with the bike level and engine stopped. this was an 'improvement' by triumph - earlier trophies had a dip stick on the left with the filler. only downside was when you changed the chain and front sprocket you had to dump the engine oil - duh!

Fork seals leaking

You need a new seal kit installed...and probably new bushings.

How easy is it to replace my fork seals on my 1993/4 900 trophy?

I found it easier to remove the forks and take them to a shop to have the seals done.In doing this you are still saving a bucket load of money. Removal of the forks takes about an hour and a half and is relatively easy without any specialist tools. You only have to remove the top part of the fairing.

Chain specification Regina 136ORP

i wouldnt even bother with measurements,if you still have the chain on the bike,hold the chain with both hands about5 inches apart,twist your wrists left and right,if the chain links move more than about 1/8 inch over this distance..throw the chain away it is to worn to use,and has probably worn the teeth on the front and rear sprockets as well,most manufacturers recommend replacing both sprockets when fitting a new chain,as fitting a new chain on worn sprockets will accelerate chain wear
