Not been able to test the bike to see if its leaking as the weather is so bad.
I decided to remove the battery and leave it inside in the warmth. Not started the triple for a month and it could be another 4 weeks yet.
The battery is not on charge,the test in 8 weeks will it start,we shall see.

Triumph quickshifter
triumph quickshifter
The Quickshifter is a plug and play unit which allows full and partial throttle gear “up-shifts” without releasing the throttle or using the clutch. The result is faster, smoother gear changes which can provide reduced rider fatigue, increased acceleration and better corner stability.
The Quickshifter is offered as an accessory for the Daytona 675 (2009 Model Year production onwards), Street Triple and Street Triple R (VIN Specific product). Full plug and play installation means no modifications to the motorcycle harness are required.

2010 streetfighter diary
The Ace Cafe's Streetfighter and Stunt Festival, undoubtedly the most exciting event on the 2010 streetfighter diary, was held at Wembley last weekend.
New Lings Triumph signed rider, Paul “Hanksy” Hanks, following up his first outing on the Lings Bolddog Triumph Street Triple R at the Isle of Man TT, by blowing away the opposition. After finishing first in the longest stoppie competition, Paul went on to qualify in second place in the freestyle competition.
French rider Julien Welsch, also on a Triumph Street Triple R, took second place in the longest stoppies. It was in fact Hanksy that set the Triumph trend a few months ago. Julien had previously contacted Paul about using the Triumph Street Triple as a stunt bike and Paul helped Julien set the Street Triple up for stunting.
In the Final, Paul finished top Brit, starting his run as a clear International leader ahead of all the International competitors, however after a slip during a technical trick, this eventually pushed him third overall in the International standings behind the two French riders, but still finishing the top Brit. Julien proudly finished with his first podium and the highest scoring Triumph rider!
The new Street Triple R has created so much interest, and now seems to be the stunt bike to have. Paul has been inundated with riders, the press and the general public even as far away as the states asking him about his bike.
Paul’s next outing on the Triumph is at Elvington Airfield this weekend to compete in the second round of the UK championship series where he is currently leading, and Julien is returning home to practice hard before travelling to Poland next week to take part in a competition there.

triumph street triple r sucess
The Street Triple R – The Street Triple with an even higher spec.
Suceeding on from the phenomenally successful Street Triple, the ‘R’ version takes the standard bike and adds race track technology. Fully-adjustable 41mm upside down forks and a top-spec rear monoshock unit with piggy back reservoir deliver elevated handling, while radially-mounted four piston calipers grab the twin 308mm brake discs and ensure the Street Triple R stops as well as it goes.
The Street Triple R engine is the same 675cc triple cylinder engine that powers the Triumph Street Triple, so there’s masses of power available from low revs through to the redline. Max power is a healthy 108PS at 11,700rpm, peak torque of 69Nm is delivered at 9,100rpm.
Fully adjustable sports suspension and four-piston radial brakes are derived from the award-winning Daytona 675 and the Street Triple R rivals traditional supersport machines with its superlative handling and stunning stopping power, while offering the comfort and attitude of a streetfighter. The sporty feel is completed with wide, tapered, handlebars and a 5mm taller seat that puts the Street Triple R rider in the perfect position.
The Street Triple R also benefits from the same refinements for 2010 as the Street Triple: lighter rear wheel and rear sprocket, revised EFI calibration for smoother throttle response at low speeds and new instruments for easier operation.
Completing the Street Triple R’s look are three distinctive colour options – Matt Graphite, Matt Orange and gloss Phantom Black with gold wheels

tail tidy for triumph street triple 675 r
A few weeks back i made an attempt to do a diy job on the triumph street triple 675 R rear end. After trying for a while i gave up but continued to search for alternatives.
I came across the Rizoma bracket today which i must admit looks good heres the info.
Rizoma license plate brackets for the 07> Triumph Street Triple. Rizoma has introduced a unique and very versatile License Plate Bracket. Each license plate bracket is constructed of anodized black aluminum and shock resistant Derlyn.
The many features include:
* Adjustable Inclination - the angle in which the license plate hangs can be adjusted, exposing more of the license plate or less, depending on your tastes. This also helps fit the license plate bracket under the tail and top of the tire, for better clearance.
* Adjustable height - the bracket is adjustable up or down to also help with clearance issues.
* Adjustable width between turn signals - the included turn signal brackets adjust in and out to spread the turn signals further apart for better visibility or bring them in closer together for a tighter looking tail.
* License Plate LED Light - all states require your license plate be illuminated, so why not do it in style? Rizoma includes a removable LED license plate light.
* License Plate Sizes - each kit includes brackets for the license plate sizes of most countries, 157 x 157mm, 175 x 130mm and 146 x 69.5mm.
* Reflectors - all states require a rear-facing reflector. Rizoma includes a removable reflector in all kits.

Suspension
Just a quick word on the front suspension settings of the bike.After 500 miles i think its softened up a bit so yesterday i put the settings back to medium as recommended in the manual.
I must admit even on the UK roads it seems fine.

2010 street triple r
Finally got forty miles on the striple in the sunshine yeatreday.
500 mls service is done and the shift lights have been moved to 10000 revs.
Pushing the triple up the revs a bit more I now realise why I bought this bike.
The bike is a joy at low speeds around town but get the power down and this little bike leaves you breathless and wanting more.

TRIUMPH SPRINT ST AND GT
A few words on the new triumph sprint st and gt
The Triumph sprint st was first introduced in 1992 and has been a very popular model.
For 2010 the triumph st has had a facelift, triple style headlamp unit and a redesigned cockpit.
The gt is a more practical version of the st, using the same 1050cc engine producing 130bhp.
Pillion seat and foot pegs are lower giving a more relaxed leg position. (Finally thank you triumph)
Exhaust is now lower level leaving room for standard equip hard panniers.
Extras available include.
Powered 54 litre top box.
Touring screen. (Seems strange for a Gt why not fit the touring screen standard)
Gel seat.
Paint protection kit.
I must admit this is a beautiful looking bike and I can see it selling well for Triumph.

Battle of the middleweights video
So i just rushed out and bought MCN this morning to have a read of the centre pages.
Yamaha fz8 v Kawasaki z750 v ducati monster v aprilia shiver v Triumph street triple.
Go out and buy it its an interesting read, i find it strange that the test features the standard bike not the street triple R against the new shiver and fz8 but there you go.
(probably to give the others a chance hahahaha)

2010 street triple r
First service on fri 28th.
Looks like its just checks on the usual stuff brakes,clutch chain e.t.c. the only impotant thing being the oil and filter change.
Must mention checking coolant level after my small leak.
I like this one in the manual "from 500 to 1000 mls engine speed can begradually increased to the rev limit forshort periods"

TRIUMPH STREET TRIPLE 675
Well its 70 degrees in the UK today and it would be great to get out for a ride if a little warm.
I'm loaded with a cold and feel crap.
Been cleaning the bike just for something to do also i stripped down the rear end just to take a look at a diy job for a tail tidy.
Looks to be a difficult job a lot of plastic and metal if i come up with an idea ill post on here.
The only tail tidys ive seen so far are R&G and ERmax if you come across any others please comment cheers.

EXHAUST STREET TRIPLE
One thing to note if your thinking of purchasing a triumph street triple r is that the header pipes will tarnish within hours of you getting and riding it.
This initially started to annoy me and after reading certain forums e.t.c. i decided to attempt to buff them up,attempt being the word. All interested was lost after 10 Min's and a cut knuckle.
3 days on and I'm quite liking the tarnished look blends with the engine providing the dreaded rust doesn't set in.
F1 Monaco's, about to start so later people.

TRIUMPH STREET TRIPLE R FRONT SUSPENSION
Finally i got to test the front end after adjusting it to the soft settings.
The bike still goes round corners like its on rails but is much better over the UK roads,so if in your country the road surface is like the UK( shite) then adjust to soft within days of buying this bike.
The weather forecast for tomorrow is good so the streets will be filled with the sound of bikes some pottering along others like a wasp on helium. My triple like a wasp without the helium im afraid at least till i get more milage on her. Enjoy your weekend and stay safe keep the shiny side up.

TRIPLE R FRONT SUSPENSION
Due to the poor condition of the British roads after a cold winter i had to soften up the front end a little. (i value my teeth too much)
For solo riding theres 3 settings, standard,softer and sport.
The bike is now set to soft with the rebound and compression damping 6 clicks out.
Ive yet to test the bike because its took all day to clean it after last nights trip out in the rain.
Did i mention the amount of dirt this bike sprays up mm mm yes i think i did.

TRIUMPH STREET TRIPLE R CARBON
Ive been sitting here thinking what next for my triumph triple r,maybe a
Carbon fibre hugger to keep the crap off the rear end.
Ive looked at a couple of different types,one small type which is more suited to the triumph daytona 675 and a larger type which is shaped like the head of an alien from the movie. The later type works for me. Pictures to follow soon awaiting stock.
There seems to be a lack of carbon accessories in the UK at the minute.

I'm really pleased with it, looks great.
Perfect copy of the Triumph one supplied by AP performance in lincolnshire.
Be careful when fitting as it can touch the exhaust so you may have to bend the OE Triumph brackets a bit.

watching the revs
As with all new bikes we have to watch the revs for a while.This triumph is no different 500mls or 4 weeks to the first service.
The dealer set the gear shift lights to light a 7000 so not too bad at least a nice warning.
4 modes available.
3 led mode = 3 lights when the set limit is reached.
6 led mode= all 6 lights when the set limit is reached.
off= off
SE mode=lights progressively illuminate in 250 rpm increments until the set limit is reached.
so my limit being 7000 the first light illuminates at? ill let you work that one out answers on a postcard please.

Triumph street triple
Well got a call today from the triumph dealer to collect the street triple r a day early.
After a 20min hand over and a word of warning regarding brakes and tyres off i went.
The rain fell and the roads greasy so no heroics guys.
The bike ran fine smooth engine gearbox fine all good. If anyones thinking of buying a new r then take my advice, "don't pick it up in the rain" this bike is filthy, 20 mins ride in the rain and 3 hrs to clean the thing.
note to self . get a hugger.
