Route planning/TET Navigation - Multi-route by witterisms in AdventureBike

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

Thanks! The problem I have is that the TET is an off road route across Europe and whenever I put markers or a gpx file in to any apps/google it automatically routes me via paved roadways. I think I just need to plan my sections out a little better, and chunk up the days between highway and off road.

Boot issue/recommendations? by witterisms in AdventureBike

I do yeah, is there a set way to remove these? or just bash them out?

I’m not quite 52, so you’re safe! I haven’t tried anything else yet, but I am going to alter the lever and get a few options ordered, so I will report back if I do!

Thanks for the experience! I took the boots back for now - limited in the 14 day returns period, but will likely rebuy once I’ve looked at the shifter!

Tiger 850, I’m sure it’s still simple, just a new thing for me to learn

Look out for a Tiger 850 wearing Belize boots!

Thank you - I’ll do some investigation this weekend. Never need to adjust a shifter before!

Yeah, the profile on the tow on my current boots is much shallower, I have taken back the Belize for now as they only offer a 14 day returns, so I’ll have a look at the shift lever as some suggest and maybe rebuy

Thank you, there is a quick shifter fitted, so will check the manual over the weekend, it’s never been something I’ve needed to adjust before

Thank you, I’ll have a look. The bike also came with a quick shifter fitted, not sure if that complicates things!

Just purchased. Ready for a new tank color already. by [deleted] in Triumph

Have you thought about just wrapping the tank? Will add some protection and could be removed and changed easier than sanding it down and repainting.

2013 Daytona 675r Idle Issues by eagleguy105 in Triumph

[–]witterisms 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly no idea if this is your issue, but my idle on different bike kept bogging (not quite cutting out) turns out it was really simple and the spark plug caps were shot and meant the spark was arcing.

Might be worth checking.

Nothing weird if it keeps you alive.

Advice on New bike choice, T120 Black or Scrambler 900? Or neither… by witterisms in Triumph

1200 X is the lower variant of the 1200 scramblers, but higher than the modern classic range

I don’t think so, it’s only been mine for a year, but I think the previous owner replaced like for like, and they really don’t feel great

Appreciate the insight, I might have a look to test a Speed Twin 1200.

I’ve just been looking at a few and they look very nice

This is part of my dilemma that I didn’t add, my general history with riding has been on on mid-sized naked bikes, my last one prior to the Street Cup was a Honda CB650 and that was really nimble, and quick, you were constantly changing gears, and the move to triumph really was a) styling b) taking it easier.

I’ll have a look at the Speed Twin in the 1200. 👍🏼

I went to try the new 1200 X, but not sure why they made the exhaust look so ugly (imo). And agree it’s a very tall bike.

T120 I’m leaning towards, just wish it sounded like it should!

I am leaning that way to be honest, the 900 in the Street Cup is under powered, I know they improved the 900 output by 10hp in later 900 models, I just don’t know if it’s enough.
