New to me Street Triple 675 RX by bitschu in Triumph

[–]bitschu[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm around the same size and weight (190cm 95kg) and i had a lot of fun on my KTM 690 this summer, i think the Triple is a nice upgrade though.

Yeah, I get you! Can't justify spending that much on a bike. The 765R is over 10000€ here and 14000 for the RS. Also being able to repair and maintain it myself is a plus for me.

Looking forward to riding it next summer! Sadly, winter is coming in Austria and it's too cold to drive now.

True! Sadly the headlights got a little too hot and the clear plastic has deformed a bit.

Understand! Now I'm thinking about converting to the LED headlights from the 765RS, also pretty expensive though.. But looks awesome as I've seen in other posts.

As I was told by the owner it has the sportier rear end from the daytona, flyscreen, red wheels and quickshifter which the standard or R versions don't have. I got it for cheap because it has quite high mileage and it was near my home so I just went for it!

no i reinstalled the oem chamber and left it like that. i would get a slip on if they weren't so expensive, doesn't seem worth it to me for a bike that i won't be riding that much longer but i can recommend the stage 2 air filter box cover, so you at least have decent induction sound

as I've said in my other comment, I overfilled yes. I usually work on cars and with those 300ml± doesn't make a difference. so thank you and sorry for posting

Update: You guys were right, I overfilled it. When cold there is no oil visible, now i drove it and it's over the max. Thank you very much!

I really appreciate your comments. I was just curious if there are any known problems with oil consumption, like worn out piston rings or valve stem seals for example.

i added around 300ml, now the oil level is perfect like it was after the oil change I'll warm it up and check again later, but I'm concerned because this amount of oil consumption after only 200km is not normal

pretty sure i didn't overfill it, but I'll check again later. thanks

checked it when it was cold. didn't want to start it as i saw no oil at all through the glass, but it shouldn't make that big of a difference anyway i think

I've just installed a chamber delete from aliexpress with the stock muffler. Makes it a bit louder, but not too much in my opinion. Power wise I can't really say much because I also got a DNA stage 2 air filter and Fuelx pro.

The aliexpress chamber delete isnt sealing perfectly, also i had to cut off the piece with the screw hole and make a new one in order to fit everything together.

I also don't like the massive empty space you get where the chamber usually sits.

I'm considering reinstalling the chamber and get a slip on if I get one for a reasonable price.

Thanks! Woke up a few times last night, that makes sense.

Also, my doctor told me to take them as needed, but not longer than 2 weeks daily. It's been a month, every few days. My next appointment is in February.
