[Delphinus]

Thanks for help everyone. Really saved my arse! Took bike round to Motu's, just as I got there clouds of white smoke coming out of the motor.
After a few mishaps (I broke the fuel plug a bit taking off tank) turns out one of the coils blew itself... Will have to work out some way to trailer/van it up to Auckland tomorrow to get sorted.

Anyone recommend a Triumph dealer in Auckland please?

Many Many thanks to Motu for helping me out and providing a bed, and to Maha Man for helping me out when stuck on the side of the road! :clap: Dont know where I'd be without you guys!

Awesome outcome Jack as far as being helped out goes. Thats the essence of Kiwibiker at its best. Couple of phone calls and get it sorted, Theres AMPS at Khyber Pass or Holeshot on Barry's point rd Takapuna, same road as Cycletreads where you were going anyway. Glad to help mate, give me ring tomorrow if you get stuck in anyway and we could get you from Auckland...Mark

Crikey, the Waikato boys got ya sorted quick.
As a side note, the Triumph coils (pvl i think) have a reputation for crapping out. The good news is that almost any Hinkley made Trumpy coil will bolt straight on.
I think the old prt# is now superseded, and covers damn near all of them.
They arn't cheap new. (about $260), so ring the wreckers for a low milage one.:msn-wink:

Thanks to everyone that has helped out tonight, it is a very reassuring feeling to see KB working at its best!

Jack whistle out in the morning, I am looking for any excuse to skive off at the moment. Driving to Auckland to collect a friend and take him where he needs to go is top of my should do things really!

[Motu]

He's sorted,got a place to rest both body and bike.I have a trailer etc here,but as I'm working tomorrow can't shift him myself.He better get himself and that bike out of here tomorrow before my wife gets back home or I'm really in the shit!









Nah,if he can't get the bike to Auck,I'll run it up.

[Ixion]

I have a Pajero with towbar that someone may borrow if they have time to go down to him.

But I could not do it myself until tmomorrow night. The trialer bit is easy.

If anyone has the time, they can PM me.

[Maha]

Good luck with getting this sorted today Jack.

[Delphinus]

Looks like I got a ride to auckland sorted.

Unfortunately looks like there are no replacement coils for it (01 Triumph TT600) available in NZ.... am trying all the wreckers but no luck so far...
Part number I"ve been given is ZT1290037

[FROSTY]

Dude are you 100% sure you have to use triumph coils?

[Delphinus]

Well progress is being made!

Many thanks to busa_pete's partner who came and picked me up with their ute, bike has now been transported to Auckland.

AMPS up here in Auckland think they may have a part that will do the trick, so bike is sitting with them now. Unfortunately in all my wisdom I managed to leave the seat down in Huntly! Arrghh!

With a bit of luck I'll be able to borrow a car tonight and drive down to pick that up...

Thankyou very much to everyone that has helped me out immensily so far.... Would be in a far worse state without all your support.

[Maha]

Dumbarse Jack :slap:.....bet it was Wendy talking that put you off your train of thought....:dodge:...Na shes a keeper that one. Fantastic how its all worked out really. Thought you had picked the wrong night last night (being thursday) most are out riding. Yes even I was, i knew Motu lived in Huntly and would be your best bet, RCTL also lives about 20 mins away from Huntly so i called him to put the thread up with your details, 20 mins later Ixion was onto it and made the connection, ah the power of cell phones and the Internet, were would we be without them?...quicker service than AA....:yes:

[MyGSXF]

Hope your bike can get sorted for you babe.. :2thumbsup the Norf Island lot are pretty cool.. :second: (not as cool as us Souvern lot though aye.. :first:)

:shutup:

Don't forget to stop in if you come back this way!! :hug:

[RC1]

good to know kb works well when someone needs it :2thumbsup , hope you sorted now jack,

[Motu]

I got home this afternoon to find Jack had left me a seat as payment for services rendered...choice I thought.I was just measuring it up to see how much I had to cut off the rear to fit my bike - and he rolled up and just took it away.WTF???


Nah,happy to help mate.I don't know much about modern multi cyl bikes - but multi point EFI and COP ign are pretty familiar to me,so was picking my way though it.The puff of smoke had a distinctive acrid smell,and I couldn't quite place it....but it was burning resin from the coil.I've never seen an ign coil actually blow up.There had been water down the plug tube too...maybe that was something to do with it.

Saw the bike on the back of a ute go past work today,so figured everything was under control.

[helenoftroy]

Awesome to read of the help you northern KBers have given young Jack:hug:

Hope the bike is sorted real soon,and you ride back and stay next weekend

Sam(casualty) wants to ride with you:devil2::chase:..........

[xknuts]

[BiK3RChiK]

If this is indeed the same fault as earlier, (frying ign coil), then someone contact him, and get him to check all earth straps/wires.
Triumphs have a bit of a reputation world wide for cooking coils, and one of the common causes is poor neg contact.
Check/roughen/clean all coil earth wires also.
Hope this helps.;)
