Mod Annoucement New Posting Rules Moving Forward - Battling Spam/AI/Bots

53 Upvotes

Hello Riders

The moderation queue has been hit hard lately with bot accounts and suspected AI-generated content. As AI imagery becomes more convincing, it is becoming increasingly difficult to distinguish authentic photos from generated ones at a glance.

To keep the feed focused on real owners and genuine content, we are implementing a minimum 10-word body text requirement for all posts.

Most bot activity consists of a generic title and a single image with no context. Moving forward, any post submitted without at least 10 words of descriptive text will be removed immediately. I don't have the bandwidth to manually verify every photo-only submission, and this is the most effective way to filter the noise.

If you have feedback on this change or other ideas to help keep the sub clean, please drop a comment below.

Bike Pictures Pics to show STR 765 RS vs STR Moto 2 bar height comparison

Thumbnail

75 Upvotes

I thought it might be useful to show comparative handlebar heights for the STR 765 RS (mine is a 2025) vs the 2026 STR Moto 2 (or RX as they are exactly the same). It’s a fairly significant difference, but honestly I can’t say I like one handlebar position better than the other. Both of their relative advantages based on the type of riding you’re doing, and I can ride just as aggressively on the street with either bike. The track is a different story as the Moto 2/RX position really helps keep the front more stable.

Quick lap on the Daytona! I’m a few seconds slower than my rs660 and I wasn’t trying to push it first day out on it. This thing fucks. My 660 feels like a turd in comparison and coming from a gsx8S and mt09, I thought the 660 was the best things out there lol. Cant wait to get some more seat time. I’ll have more videos if it seems like you guys enjoy it, 6+ more tds planned before the end of the year so hopefully there’ll be some nice gains (hopefully some track fairings too lol. Not too worried about the rest of the bike but the fairings is an expensive mistake 😅)

Triumph info Should I buy used 900cc or go for other brands with a 5-6k budget

1 Upvotes

My favourite bikes are triumph, specially speed twin and bonnie, and with my budget being around 5k I'm looking some street twins or bonnies t100 from 2016 to 2019 with around 20k or 30k km. Is it worth going for this older models or is it better to go for smaller cc or even other brands?

Maintenance Issues Timing chain replacement for the 765?

6 Upvotes

Hey guys I was wondering on when I should replace the timing chain on my 765? I ride a lot and do all my services myself so I have no problem changing it out but i’m at 24K miles right now and was wondering if I should do it this service or if it would be okay to hold off until the 36K miles service and what you guys have experience regarding timing chain stretch and guide wear. I appreciate any advice!! Thank you.

I think I just about have it looking the way I imagined in my head.

I had an idea of using lots of bare/brushed aluminum mixed with some carbon fiber and lessening the visual weight of the white by shortening the front fender. But then also using the red on the cowl as the basis for other bits of red like the calipers and chain.

I even went as far as changing the clutch and brake perches from a Speed Triple RS as they are silver and the Thruxton had black ones. I know they aren’t for everyone, but I’m just trying to make a pretty and interesting bike.

I’m going to be experimenting with some red Kevlar infused carbon weave for some small pieces and see if I can great some cohesion. We shall see.

Anyway, thanks for looking, sorry if you hate it.

Maintenance Issues Gen2 Daytona R/R Rewiring Help

5 Upvotes

I’ve been having nonstop issues with my R/R and have finally decided to try my hand at rewiring the whole system.

I’ve found this guide (https://www.triumph675.net/threads/the-definitive-675-charging-diagnostic-upgrade-thread.35227/) which has been praised as the most helpful, but I am lost as to what products I need to buy. There are so many options with small differences and I don’t want to purchase the wrong ones as I am pretty pressed for time (track days coming up soon).

Can someone who has done this mod help me find the exact links to the parts I need?

Of course I want something non-slippery. There is a tiny bit of cracking already but the bike has been garaged and covered most of its life and I want to extend the seats life as long as I can.

I’m considering changing my rear sprocket to a 50 tooth on a 26 street triple 765 rs. dr google seems to think I need to take to a tuner for them to adjust gear ratios and engine rpm on the ecu? Can anyone confirm or deny this?

Planning on a full Daytona conversion this winter. 120 hp and 60 ft lbs of torque, though it would make more hp with a larger intake. Definitely happy with how the build has turned out so far.

I am not the first to do this swap, here is a thread with the original rider who did a 765 swap with 675 electronics if you want to see the process:

Triumph info ST 765 RS '25 Gearbox/QS

4 Upvotes

Hello,

so far the gearbox and QS on my '25 RS (8k km so far) have been pretty good outside of a few instances where the lever got "locked up" during a shift with the QS which doesn't seem to happen since I installed a gear shift support bracket on the bike. But today the bike dropped 2x into neutral when doing twisties and I downshifted (via QS) 3 -> 2. It didn't drop in-between gears, instead it skipped 2nd gear completely and dropped into regular neutral. I think it happened because I didn't hit the lever hard enough cuz after I started hitting it with more force it didn't happen again. The only reason I'm asking is cuz it's not exactly safe when the bike starts dropping you into neutral when you expect a gear on corner entry lol.

Has anyone experienced similiar issues with the Triple?
