    Source of Triumph Sprint RS 955i spares

    One of my stepsons did some major damage to his cickle while doing a mono in fromt of his mates a few weeks back. He's recovering ok but the bike is a bit worse for wear on the LHS. Can those in the know give me a list of good outlets locally and overseas to get spares from. And are there any aftermarket replacements available that are cheaper than OEM. Also after a workshop manual in pdf format if posssible. Thanks for your help.

    Lol. Thanks Lou I'l get back to you on whats needed. He's already pre-ordered some bits but more will be needed as they do. Still after a manual first though. Quick questions-The magnesium cover on the lhs what is it's function? There is a tube that runs up under the tank and a plastic pump like thingy behind it. Also whats on the end of the shaft off that pump like device?
    There's about an inch and a half worn off the casing and unfortunately oil made its way out and gravel made its way in.

    What year is the bike?
    There is a cover marked 'magnesium' on the right side of the earlier motors.
    Unable to help with the pump-like thingy. It could be the fuel shut off relay. Apparently there is no shaft driven pump where you describe.

    It's definately on the lhs and the case is magnesium, states it in the casting. The plastic rotating disc is under this cover. Having removed the cover I know whats under it. It is connected to the lhs of the crankshaft by two torzehead screws. The centre of it pokes(well it's parted company from the plastic disc) through a seal in the centre of the casting and there was a pipe fitting facing aft thats been ground off. It's a 2000 model- http://www.kiwibiker.co.nz/forums/showthread.php?t=5918 -when it was in better condition.

    That's a centrifugal (or centripedal, for the pedants) breather and it vents to the airbox.

    Just pooped out to Jame's to assist with further disasembly/removal of gravel/ali. On close inspection the quality of componentry is no better than a your average japper maybe worse in some cases. It's interesting to note, although a minor thing, the rubber sheath on the rear brake switch is falling to bits already.
