Hi I posted the following message on the S3 group before I discovered this one - I hope members of that list will forgive me posting it here too:- I've just...
Has anyone found a good alternative to the $44.95 a gallon Mobil 1 racing oil? Also, the manual recommends 6,000 mile oil changes under normal use....Any ...
I use Mobil 1 MX4T 8 bucks a quart at AutoZone. It's a slightly different weight 10w40. I'm chaning mine every 5K, sort of a compromise and easier to ...
I'm using MOTUL full syn 300v 4T 15-50 and the reason is that my local MC shop carries it. I can't find the Mobil 1 MC oil in 15-50 at the local auto store,...
Congrats on the T3('94-'96) S3, one cool bike. Of course, I say that because I have one. I have 32k on my '95 with the bars still in the low position between...
Thanks Larry My bike has come to me with 24k miles, so I've undertaken the relevant bits of a service - airbox, oil, filter, fork oil, valve clearance, spark...
I'de consider going thru the petcock valve and cleaning it out too on a T3 I just got, believe me, it may save some carb work in the future. It's not hard...
Eric I asked about fuel taps somewhere else - or was it here? Anyway, the fuel tap made its distress known by pouring fuel down my sleeve and all over the ...
The website url below has Amsoil 10w-40 syn motorcycle oil for $5.70 a quart + shipping. At that price, one could do a complete oil change for $40 assuming you...
IF you take Amsoil literally my T'bird could do an Iron Butt 48/10 without even being due for an oil change! (I don't think they really mean triple the...
There are about 4 or 5 bolts on my tbird that aren't stainless, and they always corrode/rust. I spend far too much time with steel wool and a pick to...
I've never noticed that on my '98. Non-stainless bolts are coated with rust inhibitors and shouldn't show that much corrosion unless bitten badly by an errant...
I haven't wrenched on any of these bolts - I ride in the rain, etc., but keep the bike clean - can I pick up a rust inhibitor at a hardware store and reapply? ...
I think with the Amsoil or any other brand of full synt. oils designed for motorcycles, I would change my oil at the Triumphs recommended intervals. No one ...
I have a 96 Tbird. The two screws on the face plate of the tach are coming loose, one has already fallen out. I can see laying on the bottom of the plate. Has...
I have a 1999 Legend and wa thinking of getting Ohlins shocks. But I noticed that Hagon makes a shock and progressive front fork springs for Triumphs. I was...
... I'd pop the tach out and take it to your local "classic British iron" repair shop. He'll most likely know somebody who can fix it both quickly and...
Yes I agree I'd never exceed the 6K interval under "normal" conditions with any syn oil, but at $5.70/quart the TB would not be expensive to keep oiled IMO....
I've had to tighten speedo face plate screws before on Denso units. You have to carefully bend open the sealing rings (light sheet metal ring) do your work ...
Don, See if RACE-TECH offers springs and Gold Valves (emulators) for your machine, it is the Trophy Groups prefered set up. All good words!!! Tom D....
Remember when Moble 1 first hit the shelfs back in '76/77? People were putting 15k miles on a change and swearing by it. I think the logic was this: Mobil 1 ...
Hi I have recently purchased a mono key 52L top box from givi for my Triumph Sprint ST. I chose to have the rear stop light linked in with the box (which has a...
WARNING: LONG WINDED Sorry for the multiple site posting, but that's life in splintered Triumph world. Well, I finally got a rain- and obligation-free day to...
