Triumph 955i daytona Thread

[chi kung]

Right as promised and in the same style as the Tuono thread,here is the trumpet thread.


So here is the new bike.



Here is the new bike with my old Firestorm.



The Triumph clocks.



The bike had a new hagon shock before i got it.




Right lets get down to the facts after 2 weeks of ownership. Firstly the bike is physically larger than the storm and feels heavier (it may not be though). the seat is higher which is a problem for my little legs, still i might grow into it right? Dont laugh if you see me on it.

Anyway day 4 of ownership and the bike goes dead after running for 30 seconds. no power or lights nothing at all. Long story short is the fuse box had melted and shorted the main fuses together. This is a common problem on these it turns out. the reason was the rectifier was kaput and the std wiring cant handle the loads.So a new fuse box and rectifier later and a wiring mod form the Triumph forum and bike is sorted for good.

will update later with how it rides etc.

Quite a few similarities in appearance side side. Just looking at you mirrors and they sit quite a bit further up up the fairing. I'm wondering if this is what the Storm needs for better vision. I like the rear end and the style of seat on the trumpet

Lovely that mate, really like that colour.

What's that cross on the back light?

[chi kung]

They tape the lights up before you go on the track.

i had a 2003 model and i really liked it apart from the fact the engine feels "raw" if you know what i mean, sort of growly and very mechanical compared to Jap bikes, it was grunty but used too much oil so i sold it. Suspension was a bit hash too but i can see the attraction, just not for me. hope you enjoy it though and safe riding.

A little update, listen to it scream!!

[Ckennedy]

Sounds alright that does I know a bloke with a t595 and that sounds great. They go well too. What is it like to ride?

[lloydie]

Sounds nice even with the short shift at the start .
:Thumbup:

prompted by a message i thought i would update after a year of ownership. Its been a good year apart from when i first got the the bike and the reg/rec went along with the stator. anyway modded and replaced the bike has since been sweet.

Last summer at the festival of 1000 bikes.



I then found out you can download free software to adjust fueling and so much more. Its called tune ecu.





I then added this.


More later

Thanks, firestorms sound better though especially on open pipes.
