Triumph 675 owners

[Dooly]

Just a question about sprockets etc.

I've been told that if you want to change the sprockets from standard that you have to buy a different chain, and replace both sprockets, is that right?

Also whats the best way to do it to lower the gearing for more acceleration, 1 off the front or add to the rear?

Bill, what is your sprocket combo on your 675, it felt bloody great on Sat.

[Bikemad]

hey Dooly...........im up for new chain n sprockets on the 955.........gonna drop 1 tooth off the front

Good idea, mine always felt a bit too tall in the gearing.
But its gone now..............new owner rode off last night.:weep:

What bike are you bringing next weekend?

[Bikemad]

say what????????....you sold ya daytona..........im shocked man..........
gonna chuck the MK3 on the back of the ute.................cant leave till friday arvo and a bit dubious about ridin it at night on unfamilier roads with the shit lights its got........havent really ridden it for about 4 years or more and think it would be wise to give a smaller run with you guys rather than risk it all the way down there first up.

[Dooly]

Yeah sold it man, and its the first time there aint been a Triumph in the shed for 4 years.
But never fear...........another one is due along very, very soon.........negoiations are under way!
The Duc is getting pissed off at being sat with the Jappas and demanding another Brit.:yes::scooter::Punk:

Dont forget to flick us a txt if you get lost nearer our place eh.

[Bikemad]

cheers man will do

[slydesigns]

drop one on the front. No chain change required. Assuming its in good nick.
Dropping one on the front allows the front to come up easier in 2 and third and still gives a top speed of 260 or so.
You drop about 10kph max from indicated at 100kph

[Dooly]

Cheers Sly.

Have just ordered a new black one this morn, with all the shit on it.
Exhaust, filter, ECU tune, 1 tooth down, etc.

So about 110kph is roughly 100?

Still cant understand why they say ya need to change the chain as well, though going to a lighter chain than the 525 cant hurt i guess !

I had mine geared real high(or is that low) on sat mate 15/49 combo, but i'm as slow as fuck and set it up that way for the short track, cause i kept wanting to go down into first in the tight corners (and that aint pretty) Have hit the limiter down the full back straight at taupo though, so picking as i get quicker i'll be dropping the rear again !

See if ya can beg or borrow a GPS to chuck on the new bike for a few days to give ya acurate speed readings to compare with the new gearing !

[Dooly]

Dunno Bill, but something about the rear being a different pitch, but it's all irrellevant now, doing the front one only which is compatible with the existing new chain.

Yeah, thats low gearing yours mate.

If ya do want to change the rear in the future mate ! Just check they aint gone to a 530 pitch chain or something silly like that for the 2010 model !

Ya looked into what changes have been made to the 2010 model at all ??

Just fairings do the race set for a grand and comes with a screen, cant remember if i paid freight but be worth looking into the cost of an OEM screen with that lot on trade me !



Note : the white race fairings look to be OEM too !
but the screen on my race fairings is way smaller than OEM ! Buyer beware lol

Billy on here does race fairings as well ! Not sure at what cost

[Dooly]

I like the look of the plug in quick shifter connection on the 09-10 models.

[sinfull]

Here's another short cut for ya when ya ready to Modd ! Keep an eye out for a speed 3 throttle tube !
Speed 3 takes about a 1/4 turn out ! R1 takes more (prob half) but can be vicious on corner exit ! both fit !

Or ya can build your own using milk bottle tops, cutting the plastic rim off the cap at the same width as the tube cable ledge then slowly glueing more on top of each other spacing it further round the ledge, you can keep it mild at the first twist (so not to touch the gas on exit of a corner and get full throttle) but camber the tube beyond 1/4 turn so it only needs a slight twist to get full noise ! Bit of fucking around glueing bits on to increase the camber but worth it after you realise how far you have to twist yr wrist with the 675, Almost a two step grab to get full throttle !

or ya can just buy race ones lol

[Dooly]

You sure know how to keep your mind occupied Bill.
Sounds like tried and true eh.:laugh:

[sinfull]

Was a tip given to me by another 675 owner ! A quick one lol Aint got round to doin it yet but do find myself realising im only at half throttle on more than the odd occasion !

[robertydog]

Come on Bill, dont give him too many tips. You are just gonna make it hard for the rest of us. lol

Yep, later mate.

They dropped it off this morn at 8 with 2kms on the clock. First thing I did was unscrew the baffle out of the Arrows muffy, took the long way to work over some rural HB hills.
Fuck this running in shit, gave it a bit of a nudge thru the gears, no more than 10 anyway. Funny sticker on the tank saying no revs past 5 for ages.........naa.........that dont work.
Click on the speedo thingy when get there for the fastest speed recall.............naa, must be wrong, sure it was only 125km, not 2..........

Awesome machine, light, great brakes, and with the 1 tooth drop off the front, wicked acceleration. A real fun sports bike. I can see why the media types rave about them.
