Anden Posted October 15, 2012 Report Share Posted October 15, 2012 http://dayton.craigslist.org/mcy/3339536170.htmlWas thinking about offering up one of the quads. As far as I'm concerned it needs a rebuild on the motor as it appears he is still riding it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

2talltim Posted October 15, 2012 Report Share Posted October 15, 2012 The water pump seal is a easy cheap fix if its only weaping coolant. The 4th gear thing is not a know issue can't help you there. Other known issuse are...Clutch slippage, can't be fixed with Barnett springs and worm gear adjustment. Charging issuses, theres a mod for that. Cracks in the frame, a intermitten problem. Gas tank seal, there was a recall but most were already done but if over torqued will leak agin some day. Fuel mapping, best way to describe this is a buck or surge in the mid range that will catch you off guard somtimes, Power commander is the only cure. They are fun bikes but are not user freindly if you are not mechanicly inclined Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
imprez55 Posted October 15, 2012 Report Share Posted October 15, 2012 I do not know the bike, but if you aren't afraid of dropping an engine than a shift fork isn't that big of a deal and a waterpump seal is a piece of cake. It was the first thing I ever did to a bike (yes, even before pumping gas) and I would do it again if I needed to. Be warned, it might be the dogs and not the fork necessarily.

Anden Posted October 15, 2012 Author Report Share Posted October 15, 2012 Just kicking the idea around mostly. If someone recognized it I would feel a lot better. If I got more than just the sellers history. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sounds like something I'd stay the hell away from. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anden Posted October 16, 2012 Author Report Share Posted October 16, 2012 (edited) You said we weren't getting rid of the quads.Yet they are still listed. After thinking about what needs done to my bike I really wouldn't have the time or money for that matter. Sprockets, chain, rear wheel bearing, valve check/shim, rebalance throttle bodies, radiator fan. Plugs and wires. I also want to powder coat a few pieces. Yep full winters worth of work.

Anden Posted October 17, 2012 Author Report Share Posted October 17, 2012 (edited) 50k+ yes it is maintenance time. You would be disappointed in the bike Twowheel. After you start digging into what you think are problems they aren't. It's Triumph engineering. Next time we get out I will let you beat on it. I'm betting the first words out of your mouth are. "How the hell can you ride this thing."Best advice trade SV and 4 wheeler for newer Triple. Edited October 17, 2012 by Anden Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
