triumph trident

Where on the net do you recommend I go to find out how to fettle one of these. I speak Norton but not Triumph, and have a friend that has confidence in me, Ha!, and wants me to work on the above. All ideas and help appriciated.

THE place to go for BSA/Triumph triple information and advice is the "Triples Online" website and (searchable) forum: http://www.triplesonline.com/forum/
(It's been off-line for maintenance for short periods recently, so if it doesn't seem to be there, -try again later.

I agree with LAB about the consumate triple site.

I know a thing or two about them, but have yet to split the cases on one.

I am member of Triples on Line ~ among others ~

And it is a wealth of information ~ I find that it is a tad " conservative " at times ~ and mind your P's and Q's ~ bit hey it is the technical stuff you are after not the social graces ~

(Not sure if LAB will agree with me here ~ )

In fact IMO ~ I find Jerry's site here in perhaps in fact less "conservative" by example ~

Triples are a world unto them selves and demand some patience and diligence ~

I once read the term .. " NOT for the mechanical inept ~ " & ~ "the most complicated four stroke around.."

(But then I have heard it said the same of the K1 & 2 Honda's.. but I found them unsophisticated ~ All about personal abilities I guess.. )

I have stripped the triple/s to the bare bones ~ totally .. and rebuilt the top ends .. as suggested there are many tricks and tweaks..

I am sure there are enough of even on site here to help out ~

I DO recommend you always take advise of any sort in hand as there are some very dubious suggestions too often handed out ~

If not sure ask elsewhere ~

Stuart SS,


I wouldn't actually disagree with you, but of course the TOL forum runs on a different format with a single rolling page where the threads disappear initially into the readable 4-month archive section, and after that, into a searchable archive.
I'm not sure all TOL members would really want their forum used for maybe less important or unrelated topics, although I'm sure we all enjoy reading the odd anecdote or (good) joke from time to time?

There are of course, many other motorcycle websites on the Internet so people who may wish to read and post on a broader range of generally motorcycle related subjects can do so, such as ClassicBike.net, which you and I are both members of: http://www.classicbike.net/ so there's no reason why people shouldn't use a range of different websites and forums that cater to their interests or particular mood, just as people would change TV channels?
