NismO_UK Posted August 23, 2004 Posted August 23, 2004 Anyone had any experience of a Triumph 955i? I'm thinking of getting one and would like to know what to look out for. Cheers Quote
Guest chunk Posted August 23, 2004 Posted August 23, 2004 What year and im guessing you mean the Daytona! Quote
NismO_UK Posted August 23, 2004 Author Posted August 23, 2004 I'll be looking at around the 2000-ish type age. Yep, Daytona not Speed-triple. Quote
Guest chunk Posted August 23, 2004 Posted August 23, 2004 They are fine mate, the earlier one had a engine management problem that was on a recall. Check the coolant bottle for gue as it could be an expensive rebuild. I mean, get your finger in there and properly check it, its located under the seat! Rear eccentric (swingarm), check that its ajusters are not seized as that also can be an expensive repair. Other than that, check all the usual seals, gaskets. Personally i love em, cracking engine, good handling and the sound is beautiful. I have never owned one but have ridden loads, and TBH if i can comftably get back on a sports bike, it'll be one of them! HTH Rich Quote
NismO_UK Posted August 23, 2004 Author Posted August 23, 2004 Nice one, cheers for the advice Chunk, I'll make sure I check those points. Probably buying one from a friend of a friend so, touch wood, I should't get stitched up!! Just gotta move house first and then I'm back on 2 wheels, I can't wait!! Quote
