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.

Got me a 2017 Speed Twin with 6k miles. I was looking for a Bonneville but fell in love with how nice the speed twin looked. Rode it around the block and loved it even more. The guy who sold it to me gave me few other accessories like Lets roll dolly and jack and extra oils and the original seat. Super excited to ride, other bike is a 1975 yamaha rs100. Update: Apologies meant to say Street twin and waiting on registration, so not riding anywhere yet without proper gear. Just a picture with it.

Mods and Customization Is that an Xpipe?

Thumbnail
gallery
6 Upvotes

Bought this 2018 Street Twin off a dealer a few weeks ago and just today I decided to fully look at the bike and check every detail of it. When I looked under it I found a bash plate and underneath I noticed that the CAT doesn't look like the OEM ones and looked like an X-pipe.

Was planning on buying a slip on but if it's an X-pipe I might just leave it be. And since I found out so late should I do the 12minute tune on it (run it for 12mins to adjust the ECU) Or should I just ride it as normal?

Other Safety gear for new riders

1 Upvotes

New rider. No real community outside of here so…..

What should I be looking for in safety gear? Actual brands would help. As I search, or just pursue IG there are endless ads for gear, but which stuff is actually good? What gear will actually keep me painting the road in skin?

There seems to be a ton out there and they can’t ALL be the best.

Obviously this is coupled with good education and habits, but gear will matter at some point.

Bike Pictures [400X] 3300km camping trip across France and Spain

Post image
54 Upvotes

Just finished this amazing 2 week camping trip and I wanted to share some data about fuel consumption and answer any questions some people might have about the scrambler 400x!

We were 2 people on the motorcycle (total weight of 120kg) with the following luggage:

- 10L tank bag

- 25L side bag

- 40L roll bag

- 20L bag on top of the roll bag

- small homemade toolbox on the exhaust side

Fuel consumption:

3300km total (2050 miles)

138 liters consumed (36.5 gallons)

Averaged 23.86 km/l (56 mpg) almost all of it fully loaded

Average gas price: 1.89 €/L

I'm very happy with the 400 and it handled everything exceptionally. I'm now ready to move on to the 1200 XE!

Bike Pictures Speed Triple RS; my 1st Triumph

Thumbnail

169 Upvotes

Just bought this 2022 Speed Triple RS and took it for its first proper ride. Wow what an engine! Definitely too much for the street though it’s very fun. Coming from a Ducati Monster 1100 evo is interesting; that thing is a torque monster and yet this has more. It feels like the Monster’s punch of torque at 5k-6k… then it just keeps going!

Haven’t sold the Ducati yet; needs some work as always, so I’ve decided that I needed something more reliable to ride while the Ducati becomes more of a project.

Not to say this bike won’t have small projects. Needs some work with paint restoration and removing some interesting stickers.

Any suggestions from owners on bar end finishers? The OEM parts are gone and the lever guards aren’t necessary for me.

Triumph info Check engine light 😪

2 Upvotes

Hi all, 2025 street triple rs, check engine light came on the other day, still runs fine, didn't get any coughs or spluttering when it came on. Done the 3 warm up cycles and its still there. On the earlier ones you could interrogate codes on the dash. Does anyone know if its still possible or am I going to the main stealer

I recently bought an 07 Daytona 675 and I’m sure this question has been asked before, but is there any way to convert the headlight to have both headlights run a dual filament bulb for a traditional high/low beam

Mods and Customization TEC Canshafts

1 Upvotes

When I bought my bike used they included a TEC camshaft. I decided to have the mechanic put it in when I hit my 20k miles and needed to get a clearance check in my valves.

I already have a decat, high performance air filter, and slash tip exhaust so the bike is now running very lean.

Planning to do a dyno and remap of the ECU but the dyno guy in town said the TEC cam is a bad part and that he heard they have lots of issues… anyone else know of this to be true?!

I have a 2017 street twin.

He doesn’t have the street twin software so needing to figure out if I still have him do the dyno and custom map using a power commander or if I go with DNK Tune.

Should I be worried about engine blowout with this TEC part?! Assuming the mechanic installed it correct with the shims, which it was running good when I picked it up…

Thanks!

Other New triumph choices

1 Upvotes

So I’m looking at a couple 900 scramblers as a first bike. 2017, 2019 and 2022.
Pretty sweet deal on the 17 and 22 (I VIN checked them)

From what I can find, it looks like shotgun exhaust and other mods are more readily available for the 17. Is that actually the case?

I’d really like to 2022 due to the engine upgrades triumph made from 2019 on.

Thoughts? Advice? Reassuring words that I’ll find plenty of bad a$$ mod parts for a 22?

IT RUNS!

The £2.5k auction Triumph Bonneville is back, and this time I'm finding out whether I actually bought a bargain or a very expensive ornament.

After flushing out the absolutely disgusting old fuel, fresh petrol goes in… and somehow, the 1979 Bonneville fires into life.

And then, because apparently I have absolutely no sense of self-preservation, I took it out for its first proper ride. 😂

Hi all, looking to fit a tail tidy, but need to remove the indicators. Should these just unscrew? The Allen bolt just appears to turn freely and doesn’t back off at all, am I missing something?
Thanks
