New to me toy

[MotorsportTom]

Just picked up a street triple r for a bit of a bargain! Trouble is it has had a couple or whoopsies and so needs the clutch investigating as well the following replacing:
Tank
Bars
Front wheel
Grips
Brake/clutch levers (chinese poop)
Engine cases - clutch and alternator
LH mid panel (has the R motif on)
RH rear/tail fairing

Does anyone know if bits from other bikes/years fit?
I.e daytona tank or earlier fairings etc fit?

Will try to keep the thread updated as I go along

Nice, I've been looking at buying one of these to use as a track bike, most bits are interchangeable I think, but not all, sorry I can't be more helpful than that!

[MotorsportTom]

Haven't ridden one yet but judging on others opinions it should be a smart little track hack for most places.
I know some bits must fit but need to make less costly decisions now I have added this to my fleet

Paint it brown!

Are the Street Triple and the Daytona gas tanks the same? >> https://www.triumph675.net/forum/showthread.php?t=...

"Just did a swap the other day, exact same."


https://www.fowlersparts.co.uk/ (if you search for a part no. the system shows all the bikes that use it)

Daytona frame and ST frame have the same part number.

Thanks for the previous info folks!

I dropped the oil and put a new filter on yesterday, may as well not have bothered it was so clean!
The bike has a slightly annoying clutch rattle/grinding noise when stationary and clutch lever not engaged. When you pull the lever it goes away so my immediate thought was release bearing. However having read a few threads on line some say it was fixed by the dealer and a whole new clutch, otherd added extra oil over the stated qty in the manual and some did nothing and it fixed itself.

May contact the supplying dealer before MOT and decide what to do.

Other than that, i took it for it's first little ride the other day.... It is a great bike even for the 5 minutes I rode it for! I can't wait for a proper ride, I definitely feel it was a good decision to buy.
Plus have a nearly new tank on it's way as the LH side of the one is slightly damaged from a small drop.

According to Gary Johnson, at about 15 minutes into this 44 Teeth video, he fitted a Daytona fairing to the Street Triple he rides in the No Limits Racing Triumph 675 RS Cup.

I had a new 765 RS which was the same. I could feel as well as hear the harshness.

The dealer said they all do that and offered no fix. That and other things led to me selling it after a few months and 800 miles. I wouldn’t buy another triumph myself after that experience.

He does, he was at Croft for the last round of the championship last week, the bike looked and sounded great, he was lapping faster than a lot of the 1000's, but that's hardly surprising given his ability.

Isn't that just the clutch plates rattling? Both my old Honda and my current Triumph have done this without any consequence.

I’ve never had a bike that has done it. It sounded and felt nasty. Wasn’t present on the test ride and if it was I wouldn’t have bought it.

See I have read lots of conflicting stories about what it is and I agree it doesn't feel like anything a normal road bike would do. I have had a couple of enduro KTMs that have felt similar but unsure what caused that either!

I've had my Honda for 46000miles and the noise never got worse. It was louder when the engine was hot (thin oil?) but didn't seem to affect the way the clutch operated.

The plates on my Ducati do the same, wet clutch as well. Can't feel it in the lever though, that is odd.

[MotorsportTom]

Took the bike for a lsst minute MOT today.... Passed with just 1 advisory for the front tyre close to wear limit!

I enjoyed the 45ish mile ride a lot. Who knew shift lights and a quickshifter as a combination would be so much fun?

Also on that ride, the clutch behaved exactly as you would expect a normal clutch too and no ill feeling could be felt with gloves on so double result in my eyes!

Last I read of it was that it was an assembly error at factory for certain earlier models, which was corrected, but also eventually actually sorts itself out over time. There is apparently an internal Triumph technical bulletin if your dealer can be bothered/persuaded to check properly and can fix it.

That is very interesting, thanks for posting! I may follow up with the dealer but seeing as it's a 2014 bike not sure if it qualifies for an earlier model.
