Throttle free play 2009 Triumph Rocket III Touring

Throttle free play should be about 5mm of "free play" movement at the throttle twist grip.
Check this in all positions while turning the bars fully to the left and right.
It should always have "free play"

Bike running rough at lower revs

If the bike sat without being used over the winter It could be bad gas. if gas sits without being used for an extended period of time it destabilizes and gums up carborators and fuel injectors, you need to add a fuel stabilizer to gas when storing for winter. To fix the problem the gas has to be drained from tank, then refil with fresh gas and appropriate amount of carborator/fuel injector cleaner/treatment. Then start the bike and let it run it should clean itself out and start running smooth. If bike did not sit unused for winter its possible they installed the wrong plugs sometimes they talk you into spending more money on platinum or split fire/gimmick plugs (always use the exact same plug that came in the bike when it was new!!!!!)

Do i need to change

I would say yes, but it depends on how much slack there still is in the cable and if it can be secured to the new risers bars.

2001 Triumph 600TT. I purchased it missing a kickstand and tip over sensor. Where do I go from here to get it running?

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 ..

1997 triumph daytona 955i. Battery. Is not charging while im riding it. Why ??

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.

1997 Triumph Daytona 955i won't start.

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?

My triumph trophy runs for 5 minutes then dies and won't turn back on

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.

I have a 2003 Triumph Trophy 1200 that has been in storage for 10 yrs. It starts Ok but when I try to put it in gear there is a loud metallic rattling noise and it won't go into 1st.

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...

Triumph 2007 speed master stops running after 75 miles.....switch to reserve and when I fill the tank it only takes 2.5 gallons. What are the possible causes?

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.

Motor is idling & power surge making engine light comes on?

You are going to want to have the control module checked out. It regulates among other things. The fuel flow with regard to demand, ie... throttle position, air intake, speed, altitude, etc... And the companies are also designing some key parts with what is called "planned obsolescence". This means that instead of tinkering with it in your garage. You have to take it in for diagnosis and repair. Generating more "after sale" revenues. Sorry about the mini rant. I have issues. Anyway you also should check two more things before you go to the shop. 1) fuel filter. (they do need changing every so often) 2) Actual fuel you are using! And you can do that in your garage! They quality of fuel is questionable nowadays. Within Two tanks, my performance was noticeably affected. Why you ask? I moved to Oregon., thats why! The fuel here is lousy. So we are always looking for the little private gas spots that DON'T have gas additives the big companies put in there. Hope this helped. Wheels down, Jason
