2006 Triumph Daytona 955i motorcycle. Hiya Jimmy here, I have bought a MOSFET R/R to replace the one on my bike.

I would be careful with wiring on modern bikes. If you have ANY doubt pay a professional to do it for you. There are sensors on modern bikes that can be affected if the voltage is wrong. Causing possibly expensive issues. Go back and check you have the correct R/R for your bike. Wiring can be different between years and models especially with aftermarket parts.

Question edited for clarity. Question moved to model category. Probably took out the Engine Control Module. You need a good electrician, or shell out $259 on a guess.

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. When my engine is getting to temperature it stalls and dies. Why is that please?

Question edited for clarity. Question moved to model category. Sounds like fuel starvation or Idle Air Control. I found this Reader query: Triumph Daytona 955i ignition problems I have a 1999 Triumph Daytona 955i. It refuses to tick over when started from cold. After a couple of miles down the road, it seems fine. If I restart it before it gets cold it's OK. If I leave it longer than maybe an hour then the same problem occurs. Willblues, MCN forum. It sounds like it's running extremely lean. There's an initial check you can do yourself on the idle air control. It regulates the air from the airbox into the motor and you can get at it in the airbox. Remove the fuel tank and airbox and you should see a little plastic housing that pokes into the airbox with a little white disc that should rise and fall in response to throttle movement. The only problem with this is the FI management light will stay on after, until it has cycled three times. If that doesn't sort it, you'll need to get a dealer to run a diagnostic check on it to see if it has the correct map and idle fuel trim. https://www.google.com/search?q=1997+Triumph+Daytona+955i.+getting+to+temperature+it+stalls+and+dies ..

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?

2004 Speedmaster: When started, engine seems at half power. Riding, the power will surge as if a switch was flipped. It will go for months without happening, then will start doing it again.

Following... Mine started doing this and now seems to only have half power. Replaced spark plugs, disassembled and cleaned carb, and replaced air filter.

05 Triumph Speedmaster 865 what is the spark plug gap

I think that model has a 0.9mm (0.035 inch) gap. Most Spark plugs are usually already gapped when you buy them.

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.
