Hi all, Had a few problems with my bike over the last week including the engine management light coming on and it appears the ex-up valve is f*cked. Am currently waiting to go and get the 12k service at the end of the week to find out the extent. Added to that i've been told i need a new chain and sprocket - £240 + VAT + fitting. My question is, how long would you expect a chain to last? I've done 14k since i bought the bike brand new last May. Is this something i could claim under the warranty as a "manufacturing defect" or am i looking at £240+ every time i pass 14k miles? Cheers Red
I take it the ex up is under warrenty ? If not iv got 1 unsure if it works but its free to a good home!
£240 + fitting for C&S? Get a kit off ebay, did, or "B & C" for less than £150 and pay an independent £50 to fit it. 14k doesn't sound too bad, depends on maintenance. I've fooked a new chain in less than 10k due to a faulty scottoiler on the Falco.
I've got a spare aswell. Also free. That's a lot of money for chain and sprockets. 150max inc fitting.
they said they'd find out more when they service it but that was the diagnosis when it was wired up to the laptop cheer for all your replies
You could spray some silicone grease into the exup valve area, and after riding the m/c for a few days the light should clear. I did mine over a year ago and the light hasn't come back on, but if it does, spray the area again. I ride every working day to work unless the snow settles, so I know this lazy (and cheap) way of maintenance works without having to dismantle the valve. Sometimes the road salt gets into where you don't want it.
If you have the arrow or tor on the older bikes map fitted the exup opens straight away anyway youll here the difference after a couple of seconds starting
240 + vat + fitting?! WHAT LOL... I spent a LOT less than that on premium stuff in the form of a -1/+1 supersprox kit and a 520 Tsubaki TTX4 Race chain and me and my mate fitted it at his garage!
Just fitted renthal sprocks -1+2 and a top tsubaki chain for £175 fitted ,shop around plenty quaility for around the ton 50 m8
£240 + VAT + Fitting - thats about £350 !!! They are having your pants down buddy IMHO - talk about taking the pi55 tell them to go and fook em selves!!! As already said shop around you can get decent kit for less than £150 (even top end kit- AFAM X Ring and supersprox rear with a standard front is only £180 ish off ebay then a chain splitter/ riveter is £34 if you cant borrow one = £214 all in) Fit them yourself it is not hard and once you have done it once you will never look back and certainly not have your arse smacked again!!!
Just spotted this its a damn good price (£90) if you aint bothered about "Bling" DID x-ring chain and front/back sprokets STR and Daytona are the same fitment unless im VERY wrong. 1 Year or 20,000 mile guarantee to boot! http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Triumph-675-S ... 3f0bae91c7
