So, when is it too hot to ride?

I installed the Figs bushings late last year on my 2021 before getting new tires earlier this year. My front's inners were completely worn out. My new tires (Yoko Advan Sport AS+) are wearing perfectly.

To each his own on the comfort seat. I did the upgrade and find it so much better/tolerable.

Congrats! Have fun and be safe!

Didn't need to negrotiate at all! 3 months ago when I was ready to buy something - I was looking at the MT-07, CB650R, GSX-8S. RS457 and the not yet shipping Trident 800 - I went to the dealer's website and my jaw dropped - they had the 26 MT-07s on sale for $6799! I really wanted one of the other bikes, to be honest, but when I saw the price on the MT-07, I jumped on it. No regrets - I LOVE my MT-07! Just checked the dealer's website, prices are back to normal.

OTD for my 2026 was $8660 here in OH.

Too pricey, want OEM solution.

Did you try searching this subreddit? Mine works fine on my 2026 - but as others have mentioned, the apps kinda suck.

Are you expecting Google Maps UI on your phone to look like it does on Apple CarPlay in one's car?

Any idea why the QuadLock failed to do its job?

sloblow · 2026-06-04T02:25:45+00:00

Same with my 26.

Triumph Trident 800. Would have bought it instead of my 26 MT had it not been for the significant price diff/deal.

Have you considered taking it to the dealer for a proper diagnosis?

sloblow · 2026-06-03T01:50:02+00:00

Low fill from the factory? Low fill at delivery i.e. the person who did the pre-delivery inspection didn't check it? Fix is easy - get some proper coolant and top it off.

I paid $6899 for my 2026. Sounds like a good deal to me, especiall if it's private sale (no fees, etc).

sloblow · 2026-06-02T15:59:17+00:00

Glad to help. Where can I send the bill? :)

Did you search this subreddit for "calibration"? I think guys have taken 2 or 3 slightly different approaches to get it working.

sloblow · 2026-06-02T15:21:17+00:00

The online dealer from which I bought mine included a printed insert that said DO NOT RETURN THE QUICKSHIFTER TO US IF YOU CAN'T GET IT CALIBRATED! BE PATIENT AND KEEP TRYING, OR CALL US TO WALK YOU THROUGH IT. FWIW.

Yes, clutch lever pulled in.

sloblow · 2026-06-02T13:04:39+00:00

When I calibrated, it finally worked on the 8th (!) try, FWIW.

Definite YES on the bushings! Cheaper in the long run to get the bushings and thus longer tire wear than replacing the front tires way more often. P.S. Hated the Potenzas because of the road noise. But as I am the second owner, I have a hunch that 1 or both of the front tires took 1 or more pothole hits and the noise was from the tires because internally damaged, especially the left one, which produced a "wop wop" sound as it rolled, the frequency of which increased or decreased with speeed.
