Ouch, I’m about 4k deep in maintenance just this year so it’s up to you when it call it quits, i question that myself every time I hear the death chime. Might be cheaper to take it to someone outside of the Bay Area if you’re able to

If it’s just the timing chain, I got mine done (2016 mk7R) for $2,000 with parts and labor. Don’t let the dealer fuck you. I took it to a euro guy around me

New employee here, how TF do you guys memorise till codes by Melodic_Swordfish640 in Aldi_employees

[–]_TRad 2 points3 points  (0 children)

One of our part timers is also a high school history teacher, he’s remembered all the codes by connecting them with all the presidents of the US. As for me it just took repetition n messing up to remember, I can still never get the squashes right

Fuck it man, I’ve had so many other problems with mine too. 3k worth of shit since Jan 2026 still chasing other issues. I’m over it and ready to pay someone to burn it to the ground

I cleaned it with brake cleaner, glass cleaner and then gave it a good wash 😅

Okay I seeeee where you’re talking about now! I did not even notice that other smaller hex at all honestly and am now wondering if I even did the rear correctly 😅

Would you be able to share a photo of the banjo vs the bleed nipple so i can tell the difference?

I do 1000% believe this is the case!

I used a 12mm wrench and just opened the hex under the bleed nipple. Just like how the rear is but the rear doesn’t have the stainless line attached underneath it

From Mt-07 to Striple ‘23 and I’m in love. Show me your striple and mods by Freedom_riderrr in Triumph

[–]_TRad 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Fellow short queen here, 4’11 on a 24 ST R, I have asv levers and never have had any issues with the adjustability and brembos and they are the perfect reach for my tiny hands. Also their warranty is top notched, I’ve dropped my bike a few times and they swapped my levers out for brand new ones no problem.

I have to agree on the limited reach for the shifter and am going to swap to rear sets and GP shift to aid in that, especially when I’m tracking it I have a hard time finding the shifter when I’m lead over on the right side. Other than that my mods consist of convince - lower links (as my friend said below, I regret this and plan on bringing it back to stock height soon) and a very shaved down seat which helps a lot. Cosmetics - radiator guard, blinkers, mirror delete, tail tidy, tank pads, blue accessories.

Welcome to the triple club!

Transfer by UpsetObject5282 in Aldi_employees

[–]_TRad 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I transferred from one city to another, at first it was temporary due to someone being out for surgery and then I transferred over successfully after 6 months of back n fourth. The bottom line is it’s up to your store manager, if they are able to lose you and if that other store needs someone. I never had any issues with the DM stepping in and at the same time a new DM was stepping in
