20 Most Recent 2000 Triumph Sprint RS Questions & Answers

Two things fixed mine first a new battery, the Sprint needs a really good charged battery to start, not just an old charged battery. Even jump starting didn't work for me. Second non ethanol fuel, these engines hate ethanol.

Hi

Could be many things from spark plugs to dirt in carbs (If not fuel injected) to Air leak.

Hi and welcome to FixYa,

The click of the relay is significant if it came from the starter relay. It would indicate that the contacts of the starter relay are not allowing power from the battery to flow to the starter motor. To check, temporarily jumper the 2 terminals of the starter relay; the starter motor should spin. To locate the starter relay, follow the big cable from the battery's + terminal. It would end up tied to 1 of the 2 terminals.

Good luck and thank you for asking FixYa.

when it happens take by azone and have them check codes while running . Do not turn off it will reset and loose code

It may be time for new spark plugs and some carb or injector cleaner...............I would also check plug wires and oil level due to leveling sensors built into the engine safety system.......Hope this helps.

This could be anything from the valve settings being loose, to piston slop or wrist pins, to rod bearings. Really hard to say, since a rattle can describe a lot of different things. If you can isolate the location of the noise, it would help greatly in the diagnosis.

If you have access to a stethoscope, you can listen to different areas of the engine and tell where the noise is coming from.

No stethoscope, use a large screwdriver, put the tip against the engine and handle to ear. Move around the engine till you find the loudest noise. That will be the area that probably needs attention.

It has to do with cranking amps. Cold draws electricity. Also metal(i.e. cylinders shrink a small amount, also oil thickins when cold. Its all normal dont trippppp...

Parts Suppliers. The normal thing to think is "I'll just bypass them", but the tip over sensor cuts power to the engine if you drop the bike riding it. https://www.google.com/search?q=2001+Triumph+600TT+kickstand+and+tip+over+sensor ..

There are several possible reasons why the battery on your 1997 Triumph Daytona 955i may not be charging while you are riding it:

1. The battery may be faulty. If the battery is not holding a charge or is not functioning properly, it will not be able to charge while you are riding the motorcycle.
2. The charging system may malfunction. The charging system is responsible for supplying power to the battery while the motorcycle is running. If the charging system is not functioning properly, the battery will not be able to charge.
3. The voltage regulator may be malfunctioning. The voltage regulator is a component of the charging system that regulates the voltage supplied to the battery. If the voltage regulator is not functioning properly, the battery may not be able to charge.
4. The battery cables or connections may be loose or damaged. If the battery cables or connections are loose or damaged, the battery will not be able to receive a charge.

To troubleshoot the problem, you should start by checking the battery to see if it is functioning properly. If the battery is not the issue, you will need to check the charging system and voltage regulator to see if they are functioning properly. If the problem persists, it is recommended that you have the motorcycle inspected by a qualified mechanic. They will be able to diagnose the problem and recommend the appropriate repairs.

It sounds like the battery is flat. Turn the headlight on and try and start it. Does the headlight turn into a dim glow worm?

It is a known issue https://www.google.com/search?q=2005+triumph+america+no+power+to+start ..

Must be a loose connection in wires caused by movement. Inspect harness etc. Buy a clymer book for that model....for service&repair

That is usually indicative of a fuel supply issue. Check the Petcock is open and working. Strip and clean the carb fuel bowls and jet.

You are probably describing a frozen clutch caused by a long period of disuse - the clutch plates long pressed together under the pressure of strong springs have become frozen together. Sometimes only dismantling the clutch will cure the problem. Lots of people just keep the revs low and jam it into gear and hope the shock loading will do the trick. A much kinder method is to start the engine with first gear selected and go for a ride - changing gear without the clutch is quite a trick but possible. Keep the clutch lever pulled and by the time the engine is developing high torque in a high gear most clutches would become unfrozen...

IN WHAT Country , they sell this not just in UK. and they all do not have the same tank. some are 5.2Gallons. ok moved you out of computers,. to Motorcycles and deleted you email , do not post your email in public unless 1000 spams a day for 100 years is fun. or far far worse. (then then phish you and bam) not sure the question so will answer both. 1: mpg wrong, 2; WHAT IS THE RESERVE gallons missing in the book. ok MC 101 Are motorcycles new to you ,(ive owned too many to count) back to 1965 in fact, even had a real Triumph TR6 car (pure love there) OK MPG:? 865cc twin. guessing 35mpg. 45mpg on long trips. 2.5 gallons . (30x2.5=75miles) and 2.5gal would be 30mpg, and would be normal in the city or lots of fast stop and go. 4.4 gallons tank. below is the reports but is real bad, folks do MPG wrong. small tanks make MPG super hard to calc. unlike 20 in a car. the cure is learning to average 3 tanks. total fuel gal, and total miles, then divide. http://www.fuelly.com/motorcycle/triumph/speedmaster OR RESERVE; where is it? does your tank have fuel lever? bottom left is traditional or is your question really where is the reserve point that is missing in all online spec.. and in the book. over filling the small tanks by overriding the auto station nozzle shut off , makes MPG seem low. The low fuel lamp will illuminate approximately 3.5 litres of fuel remaining in the tank. (near 1 gallon almost) I am now reading your manual. and it's in Europe somewhere, and no clues as to reserve point. did you read your manual to see how any reserve works the book has no such word in the manual. EFI injection no EFI fuel pump likes running dry, so I bet dollars to donuts they don't make that easy. This the early warning light. (just like modern cars) never run one dry. the pump is fuel cooled and fuel lubricated, is why. that is all on fuel . tell what is the problem, your post is only a hint. ok? good luck, and ride safe.

Sounds like an ignition module is going open after warming up. Check for spark after it is warm and doesn't run.
